    I was delighted to see that beautiful long left-hand hand pass by Jones.(that set up a brilliant chain of foot passes).

    Nathan has been so predictably right-sided it has limited his elusiveness.

    His kicking was superb on Sunday,too.

    Down at Chapel St having a Cafe Latte...

    Seriously though, I think he's being tested this week for the weekend to play with Casey.....could be wrong.

    Yeah we really need a classy outside player in the midfield to complement the in and under. But it will come, eventually.

    Morton, Davey, Bennell can all fill that roll very well.

    Its funny that a lack of class is now our problem.

    Our midfield a few years ago was a 'rolls royce' midfield and lacked some V8 grunt...

    How times have changed.

    Moloney is a great inclusiong this season.

    He does alot of the one percenters, gets contested possessions, clearances and puts it into the forward 50...

    Hopefully Sylvia can produce this kind of goal kicking display more regularly...

    I think Moloney has greatly improved he was your ttypical old time player when we first got him get the ball bang it long etc etc but very hard at it.

    but now he has refined his skills and thought process to be very damaging and still be hard at it..

    from a few years ago when we were labelled a Soft club i think his inclusion has really helped the younger/smallers guys be more confident.. we seem to play better when he is in the team..

    and although Sylvia is strong and hard at it imo he is still to selfish.. looking for accolades or maybe that is just him trying to impress the coaching staff so he gets a feww more years who knows.

    i would like to see him do more 1% er's though. (incredible Marking strength )

    Yeah, would anyone consider Melbourne one of the harder teams in the comp? Do you thing we are labelled one of the soft clubs anymore?

    Despite many people having the idea we where a 'soft club' we where the no. 1 tacklers in 2006.

    God they where good times with the Reverand his gang at full strength.

    • 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.
