    There is no getting away from the fact that he has had a very poor season to date.

    Having said that, 5 games is quite a small sample size and his changing role in the side may account for some of those statistics also.

    Did kick 4 goals in the NAB Cup game V's Hawks, so we all thought he was due for a big year. But he's been poor in 4 of 5 games and surely Bailey must be running out of patience.

    Either him or Juice must be omitted for Geelong

    Stats are one thing, What they don't show is his lack of pressure when he doesn't have the ball. This guy does not chase, he manages to find that spot on the ground call NO MANS LAND all the time and on more than one occasion on Sunday he took short steps to avoid contact NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!!! I can't understand how this guy still gets a game.

    Gee he doesn't kick many goals, does he?

    Really has to work on his pressure/positioning when we don't have the ball. At the moment it's not good enough.

    Those stats <_<

    2009 he has been playing a different position. He has not been a part of the midfield. To say that he is in decline in terms of the above stats is a misinterpretation or misrepresentation.

    Despite this, he still needs to pull his finger out and take marks, not spill them. He has to lead hard and demand, not half-hearted leads (too slow), he also needs to be more accountable and alert when the opposition have the ball in the Demons forward line and are trying to get it out.

    Different role, significantly reduced opportunity, terrible delivery into forward line, loss of confidence.

    Disappointing nonetheless.

    I would like to find out the stat for the amount of times the ball has gone inside Melbourne's forward 50 and once the ball spills to the ground from a contest how many times Melbourne have regained possession. Bate and Newton are two of the most useless footballers below their knees I have ever seen.

    Spot on! Teams have woken up that he doesn't like it tough. He is a liability on the forward line. I'd rather play a kid who is prepared to have a crack. I said last season we should trade him before the rest of the competition realises he is soft and a dud.

    • 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.
