    It's not pathetic at all, if anything Jaded has it the right way around more than anything I reckon. There's absolutely nothing to be gained by hanging crap on the less talented players. It's why largely couldn't care less when guys like Bennell or Spencer or even Dunn have poor games, because I know that these guys have low ceilings and they're probably doing the best they can. It's when the top end talent fails to deliver that is the hardest to swallow; it's their form that affects us the most. Spencer and co are just easy targets for people who don't want to look for the real problems.

    Just put it down to a bad year, like a few others.

    The curse of the B&F

    Junior

    Bruce

    Davey

    Green

    Moloney

    Junior is the only one who backed it up with a second Bluey. The rest have gone downhill dramatically since winning,

    Some like Sylvia who should be winning them can't even get inside the top 5 and he has been playing 8 seasons.

    Sylvia is a 'Burst' player (or has been used as a burst player) . These types often don't feature in B&F awards .

    It's my belief that the way we've used him in the past (HFF with the occasional run in the midfield) simply hasn't worked and probably never will .

    If he had of been plonked in the middle (and left there) we might have got the best out of him . However , it's not too late and let's face it , our midfield is screaming out for a talented player who knows how to win a contested ball .

    Sylvia averaged 9.5 contested possessions last year and totaled 180 for the season (2nd only to Moloney 271 / 12.3 ) .

    If you can't see the difference between Spencer and Moloney, then I suggest you stick to abusing our captain instead.

    Kthnxby.

    Gee you make some sweeping statements without any substance or evidence whatsoever. I hope the world is alright through those tinted glasses of yours.

    Got no idea about the 'tinted glasses' bit . Makes no sense . I presented some facts and an opinion . Perhaps if you don't agree with someone's opinion you might like to present evidence to the contrary or even your own opinion .

    I'm not one to bag out players . That must seem a bit strange to you yeah ? I believe that it's better to try and get the best out of a player . Especially when that player is contracted until the end of 2013 (like Sylvia) .

    Tell me what part of my post #30 came into the 'Sweeping statement" area ? And if you don't want to debate the subject matter , don't bother .

    2nd only to Moloney, you say?

    And he can use the ball, above what Moloney can do.

    just an honest appraisal.

    And it has proven to be correct.

    Truth hurts maybe?

    • 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.
