Haha ... your telling us not to get to excited! ...."Going to be one of our best players by the end of the year"

Think Travis Johnston, for a couple of years he was one of best players, but he'd do 1 or 2 things a game that would were high risk and cost us badly.

    Watts and Dunn were both big improvers last year and will continue on as will Sylvia. My view on the most marked improver however (judging from training reports and the NAB Cup) will be Sellar.

    Our new forward set up could be of great benefit for Howe. With the main defenders looking elsewhere I think he can do some serious damage.

    agreed but he has already announced himself, so if he improves further it may be more about the the rest of them, than him.

    I'm looking for those who have been under achievers, or haven't announced themselves yet.

    the biggest rise in team improvements.

    There was no error, dpositive was 100% correct..

    If a low base player improves 100%, it will be quite impossible for any mid-high player to also improve 100, thus the low base player is most improved.

    I went for Tynan, I saw a casey game and thought we showed a lot, hope he can produce it at AFL level.

    I went for Taggert but he needs to get on the park more

    Watts seems the most likely at this stage, but i wouldn't be surprised if Dunn is one of if not the most improved if the training reports are anything to go by.

    interupted preseason

    Ah the old IPS - every player's golden ticket to having a bad year. It used to be if you were considered match fit, you played, and you were expected to be at your best. We should have a little asterix next to every player's name denoting some sort of setback, no matter how minor, in the preseason, just so we can know that player is not expected to do anything. Not a go at you specifically, but everyone who trots out that line.

    Though Watts seems to be the obvious choice, I'm going to pick a smokey in Michael Evans. May struggle for a spot but he may make the most of it if given a run. I really rate him.

    I also pick the Gawnster!

    Dunn the Gunn will be most improved IMO now he has been given the opportunity that best suits his skills Also he is one of the fittest in the team, has obviously worked hard under Neald and responded to the new team requirements

    Welcome back Semen!! yes thank you

    Whilst the faithful know how good Grimes is I think a consistent improvement in him will see him as an elitist leader and carrier across half back this year. His read of the play is excellent and is not afraid to run carry and switch play.

    Love to see Jetta start to fire, 'Where's the cash Neville....'

    I voted for Tapscott. There were a few games towards the end of last year where you could really start to see why the FD see him as a half forward type. Strong, good overhead, smart with the footy and very courageous. Now with a bigger fitness base, less injury concerns and more talent around him in the forward line, I can really see him taking a big step this year...

    I am amazed Sellar has been picked 10 times, if it was not for that game against Port I bet no one would have picked him. I don't think he will be able to cement a spot in the team now with Dawes and Clark. He would be brought in for depth or as a 2nd/3rd ruckman. However there may be times when we want three key forwards (in this case it would be him vs Pederson). I don't see him fitting in the backline we have enough tall timber back there.

    Not a bad call, I think if he improves his endurance (which may require him to slim down) he could play a Chappy role - rotating forward flank and midfield

    • 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.
