After being forced by the AFL to sit through another Friday night match involving Colling%^&* I have come to notice a strange similarity between one of their players and one of ours....

A few years ago I only rated the Filth player as a once every 6 week freak, but now he is a solid little play maker with exquisite skills by foot...

Both players are looked for by their backmen to get the ball moving forward and in the hands of a team mate....

The kicks may only travel 20-25m, but each time they are perfect and straight on the other players [censored]....

They both travel forward and can kick the goals that spark their team.... Whether it be running flat out into the forward 50 or crumbing around the goals....

If you have not guessed already, I am comparing Aaron Davey to Leon Davis....

It makes me sick to find similarities between a beloved Dee and a filthy, commission flat Pie.....

But no $hit, they are fast becoming twins....

Just something I noticed last night that kept me from changing the channel :mellow:

    You're not alone KJ. I would have said Neon's a little more sturdy around the hips, but other than that there are similarities with brilliance, flair around the goals. I like Aaron for his ability to evade a little more unpredictably, Neon, I suspect has a little more weight to shift...

    Not a classic comparison, but one of the things I like is that I think everyone thought of Aaron as a flash-in-the-pan (excuse the pun) but like Leon he's showing the ability this year to bring consistency into his game. Likewise both players' abilities to become legitimate midfielders, despite many peoples' doubts...

    Very true DD....

    Neon is definately more solid in the hip area and I would say he is a touch slower than Flash around the ground..... But both players (as you said) are proving a lot of people wrong.... Very important play makers for their respective teams, and both have obviously been working hard on their game over the last few years....

    Yup. Neon is one of the few Pies I actually fear n terms of matchups... And coming from a demons supporter, that's saying something.

    IF they can both stay injury free they are easily Top 2 in respective B&F's.....

    Davey to be challenged by Moloney

    Neon to be challenged by Pendlebury

    Funny, last night I was thinking about how Dane Swan is Brock McLean in a better team. For now.

    Davis to me is a little slower (not much) and a little stronger overhead. But swap Davis for Davey and there wouldn't be much of a difference at all.

    Sylvia should be a Medhurst at minimum or even better. Right now he is not.

    What's that got to do with the price of fish in China?!?!?! :blink:

    • 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.
