haha wat about this

Allen Jakovich

He is my all-time favourite Melbourne player. You never knew what he was going to do, he was just electrifying. He’d get the crowd going, took amazing grabs and kicked great goals. He did the impossible and I just loved him. I tried to ring him one day, I looked him up in the phone book but I didn’t get to speak to him as there were a lot of Jakovichs in the book. It’d be good to meet him one day though.

stalker much?

    I don’t think he plays his best footy at half-back - I think he plays best at half-forward - but I had to fit him into my best 22 somewhere. He’s a utility who can play at both ends of the ground. Cam is a complete professional and has been a consistent player over the last 10 years.

    Interesting.

    I look forward to Frawley or Warnock taking Nicho's spot in the team.

    Also how damn good were some of the forwards we've had over the years from the mid 90's to mid 00's, as shown by that forward line.

    Sean Wight was one of the most underated players to ever put an AFL jumper on. Watched him hold Ablett goalless (he may have kicked one when Wight came off for a spell) in his run away coleman medal winning year. Super smart player, with the ability to wear his players down on every forward entry. If you kick goals on Sean, you bloody well earned them!

    Big Nic at Fullback? This must have been when beamer was too busy with the ladies to watch the full 4 quarters of footy. Love big Nic, but doesn't rank as the best FB over the past few decades.

    Brett and his brother Glenn....

    Yeah. I picked that up, too. To my knowledge, they weren't related. (But, loved 'em both! Glenn was another of a long list that wasa cruelled by injury just when he was hitting his straps, and we therefore missed seeing him complete a stellar career!)

    But, nice to see Beamer's thoughts on the team he's always loved. And, nice to have the unique perspective of a present day player who also grew up loving the team.

    Well done, Beamer! You're special!

    • 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.
