Slowest player I've ever seen. When running he looks like he's wading through Port Phillip Bay with seaweed caught around his legs. Being slow in itself, while not desirable, would be OK if he compensated with deft tap work or strong contested marks. But he doesn't seem to have those skills, either.

Yeah all true - i wonder how long he will draw defenders because he doesnt look like he can do anything other than stand at this stage. He did do a few decent taps.

    He seems to have some hunger - I've seen a few optimistic chases and uses his body well but as has been said, just way to slow. Crashes the packs well, wouldn't mind a mark now and then though!

    If he could mark he'd be a good player. As it is he's a less athletic Stefan Martin that wins less of the ball.

    Extremely good description Nasher

    Was pretty good tonight, loved that Neeld had the balls to do what we've all wanted for 3 years, put Garland forward, and credit to Sellar for doing his job to make it work.

    Sellar was very good, and tonight he showed he can kick and run. I have to admit being very surprised but he definitely earned his place tonight.

    Needs another good one next week.

    Perspective says he's had one good match for the season so far.

    Here's hoping he gains confidence and cements a spot in the side. Big body and has some talent.

    And wasn't it great to see the joy and passion on Clarks face when the siren went! Only been in the club for a short time but wants us to win desperately. Copped a heavy knock in lower back early in the match.

    Yeah Sellar has coped a bit hasn't he; good game tonight all he needs is a bit of confidence.

    Clark looked like we had just won a flag, he seems rapt to be at Melbourne.

    Certainly will need another one like tonight next week with the gorilla Cloke. Fitted into the defence very well.

    Poor Blease can't take a trick - did anyone see if it was a kick?

    If Frawley is back it will allow Garland Another hit up forward vs the Filth.

    Good coaching and selection.

    Said it before, but he spent all pre-season playing back and looked ok and then as soon as the real stuff starts he goes forward, looked completely lost and was just generally not up to it. Goes back tonight and plays a pearler.

    Actually has a lot of good traits as a defender who can play on the resting ruckmen or gorilla forwards. Will watch with interest over the next few weeks, and hopefully he stays back.

    Why wasn't Sellar in the middle of the song with Clark and Magner? New boys first win I would have thought?

  • Quote

    Yep hes a back, not a forward and gives us options with Garland

    Would still like to see Tom Mac get the job on Cloke though

    He was far better as a defender than i've seen as a forward/ruck. He could hardly get a touch in that role and he got 18 possessions tonight and kept Ryder out of the game completely

  • Quote

    Gotta say he wasn't bad, not great but certainly not bad. Fingers crossed Frawley in for old Macdonald then next week.

    Nevertheless, Old MacDonald wasn't bad tonight was he?

    • 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.
