I've always been a Bennell fan but he was bad today.

Bate played one of the worst games of football I have seen by in individual. Everything he touched turned to crud.

Unfortunately Scully dropped about three marks that he should have taken, but it's not the end of the world.

    I know we have all mentioned Bennell shirked an issue, but as I stated on another post, he also took the mark in the squard diving back and almost taking out the goal post. Yes his other effort was poor, but lets hope he learns, he is only a skinny inexperienced player. Give him another 25 games and lets see.

    In terms of Bate, he is still unfit, but not as bad as you said Clint. I watched the replay after being at the game and he did a bit more than I thought. Give him to round 4/5 and he will be back to his best.

    And back on Bennell, it is funny how people bag him but find excuses for other players if they drop chest marks.

    Yeah, some of our players made some mistakes ie Bennell, Scully, Frawley, Bate etc but they were trying to take the game on. I'd much prefer these sorts of mistakes then not going for it at all.

    It was an important game yesterday because they proved to themselves that they can compete with the best of the competition. We're not going to play like that all season but it was great to see them compete. I am so bloody excited about our future considering the talent that still to play in that team.

    Almost forgot, Brad Green, you bloody beauty.

    This leads to my second most loved part of today: when we made mistakes, we learnt from them and improved. Beams beat scully for a goal in the first, 2 minutes later shut him down.

    I noticed that. Was very pleasing I thought.

    Despite some bad dropped marks, Scully was OK I thought. Has pace and endurance to die for.

    • 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.
