With one game to go to complete round 1, Jordie McKenzie leads the AFL tackle count following his 11 tackles on the Saturday. This despite only playing 64% game time - only Brad Green had less game time for the Dees. This is an exceptional achievement from a 19 year old rookie playing only his fourth game. For me this was the biggest positive from the weekend. And let's not forget he resisted overtures from Neil Craig to become a senior listed player at the Crows to stay on our rookie list.

    Did not look out of place. Some of ou other mids could learn a thing or two from JMac.

    For me, he was right up there with our best yesterday. For where he's at, he was great. Played with passion and didn't do much wrong. And he's fierce...

    thanks Jordie, a bright light on a dark day.

    I noticed this also, in particular the TOG% - anyone got an inkling why he only played 64% ..??

    Get him in there for the full match!

    (obviously his intensity is not sustainable for that amount of time, but you get my point...)

    He was definitely in our better players.

    It's seeing guys like him develop that makes going to the games worthwhile when you're a struggling side.

    Considering the amount of stoppages, it's not all that impressive a number. Our gameplan atm is not very fluid, so we handball in circles and eventually get caught in the middle of Hawthorn players, which in turn caused a ball-up. It's been like that for the past 2 years under Bailey.

    Still, fair effort for a young bloke to be in and under so often.

    Agreed, and moreover, if you train and play that way then you're bound to suffer more injuries with the greater possibilty of collisions.

    I've got a good feeling about this kid. Does his attack on the ball remind anyone of Matty Whelan?

    Not a bad call.

    • 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.
