Pretty simple at years end give him sylvia's contract.

 

yeah, terrible user of the footy. Lacks awareness too, but he tries..i wouldn't mind giving him a 2 yr contract

 

Drafted as forward.

Trains with the forwards.

Plays forward at Casey this year. But plays down back with the seniors. Do you think the ultimate aim is to have him play down back or up forward?

Who can tell.

Bennell is another good example - plays well down back as a running linkman for Casey, comes into the Dees, plays as a sub who gets to spend time as a small forward when on the ground.


He's Mr Kool for mine never looks perturbed by pressure. I like him contrary to some bad turnovers he seems to switch play well and reads the flow of the game effectively. 2 yr lease with an option to buy in 3

And while we're at it, let's also sign up Sammy Blease for 2 yrs before he flies off to join his mate interstate.

Possibly the worst kick at the club, which is something of a (dis)honour given there is sincere competition for that title.

The rest of his game, though, I love. He seems a natural defender, like Rivers. He can read the play nicely, he holds his own even when giving up weight and/or height, he's courageous, and he also has an attacking bone in his body. I love seeing him peel off his forward and push up the wing. Of course, he can get burnt on the turnover, but I like that he has that attack to him.

Hopefully the kicking will improve. Even if not, he's still a great young prospect.

 

Certainly not the worst kick at the club, not even close whilst Bartram remains on the list. He's a similar kick to say Nicholson who under more pressure will make more mistakes but when in time and space is more likely to use it well. I still think he'll end up a forward. His size, endurance and marking lends more to CHF and with Watts looking more and more like a CHB it just makes sense to me. I've got no problem with him down back whilst the midfield means that's where the ball is.


for a second year player he is underated..has played on big names. He has had some cool heads around him to help him.

I like his game except for his kicking. Needs to work on his kicking everyday. Right now is a Warnock clone

He's got much more composure than Warnock.

His composure has a greater ceiling than Warnock, but I would not say it is greater right now. Maybe I am still blinded by the Bulldogs game.


Jobe Watson was a terrible kick when he started.....Kicking can be improved...

yeah, terrible user of the footy. Lacks awareness too, but he tries..i wouldn't mind giving him a 2 yr contract

I guess that means we will sign him for 3-4yrs.

  • 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.
