    A man of many haircuts and little talent.

    Carroll did ok today - certainly no worse than anyone else!

    The hairstyle is one thing - but the mo is gone too, I don't know if I can get used to this!

    I thought he was fairly average today, but who wasn't?

    Backmen are unlucky in that any errors they make are magnified x100 because the consequences can be so much greater.

    I agree.

    I saw lots of errors today - lost count of how many times we kicked straight to Richmond, so I don't think we can really point the finger at any one player to lay blame. You are right though - if a defender makes an error, or has a bad day, and a goal is kicked we think he's horrible. But if a forward kicks a point instead of a goal he generally doesn't get so much abuse.

    I think people should just lay off Chopper, he did ok today. He made a few good saves and put a bit of effort into the game. He certainly wasn't the worst defender out there today, he just makes himself more visible!

    Hardly, Carroll got smashed in the air by a resting mid-fielder with 10kgs less body weight - Brett Deledio.

    Time to go Chop chop

    Brett Deledio has freakish marking ability. Nothing Chop could of done about 2-3 of those marks yesterday.

    I watched Carroll closely yesterday and noticed that he either has very poor judgment as to where the ball will end up after a kick to his opponent or he doesn't trust his own judgment and reacts solely to the movements of his opponent and so he gets out positioned cos he's not in the right place or he's still on his way there cos not using his own judgment and relying on his opponents judgment.

    when he attacks the ball kicked to a pack his courage allows him to do the gutsy thing and spoil & split the pack but the pack has already let him know where the ball will be and therefore where to run to, the pack has in effect done the judgment thing for him

    He should trust himself more or work on his judgment skills cos if he solved that issue he would be much more of a player

    Edit: I'm not bagging him & I would like to see him succeed as he has a hell of allot of heart

    On this forum I know for a fact Hoopla likes Chopper.

    He also used to like Al Nicholson.

    Enough said there!

    I think Chopper should get the axe and play somewhere up country where his lack of skills can be hidden by his fearsome looks.

    He looks a bit YMCA Blue Oyster Bar ish at AFL level so I'm sure he can find a league of his own somewhere.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
