Though he faded out in the second half, I thought Davey looked much better. He looked threatening when he claimed possession and kicked some goals reminiscent of his olden days.

Thoughts on Davey?

    Gave his all ,looked fitter than he ever has.

    Can actually play football.

    One positive.

    I'll give him a pass mark. Just. And to be honest, he's about the only one. At the end of the day, it does't matter how well he started, they all ended up not trying.

    He looked good and we need senior melbourne players right now, god knows we sacked the rest of 'em

    Really surprised me, looked pretty good and has that deadly disposal still.

    I think he's a bit leaner than the last couple of years too.

    Being over in the US at the moment reading a small positive, no matter how small, is a nice change.

    He looked like his old self. I think he was tasked with one thing - applying pressure, and be did a great job at it when the ball actually got there.

    We should give him the ball as much as possible. The best kick in our team by so far it's not funny. Far from our worst.

    He made me pine wistfully for those halcyon days of 2004...until I remembered how we collapsed into an abominable heap that year and lost to none other than Essendon in that gut-wrenching Elimination Final.

    FLASH made a comeback tonight, not Aaron Davey as he's been for 2-3 years but FLASH that bloke that excites you when he gets the ball. The bloke who runs hard and tackels harder. I've missed him, I don't know where he's been but I'm sure glad he's back.

    Was ok in patches and a nice fluke goal. Still on the soft and unfit side, but not much different to his brother.

    Was the best in our impossible forward line as in its impossible to get a kick in. If he was a true footballer and leader he'd be on a half back flank in the trenches.

    But for what he can deliver he was ok

    Fittest i've seen in 3 years. I was over him after the squib but he seems to be back to some sort of form which is encouraging and was a small glimmer of light this evening. Not sure why he wasn't played at beginning of season. We lack toe and skills by foot, and he at least has that in spades versus most of our other boys.

    On the half-back line? You mean like Jack Watts?

    Yeah, Aaron had a dip. Though he didn't play four quarters. Worth a game next week.

    From what I've seen of the first half, he was one of our best. I'm sure the entire 22 was pathetic for most of the second half, but Davey showed more than most in the first, so ease off him this week at least.

  • Quote

    Played well. One of the few players I didn't cringe at when he had the ball. Pin point precision by foot. Good to see him back, hopefully he can maintain

  • Quote

    Best I've seen him play in a long time. Tried a lot harder than many of the others wearing the same jumper. They're not a team so I won't refer to them as such.

  • Quote

    Was probably in our top few tonight. Two exciting goals was a huge bonus, our only 2 exciting goals to be honest. Pity is, over the last couple of years he's been very quick to discard after showing good signs and then a bad performance. Unless he goes completely off the rails, he's an important player to have out there.

    I am an AD critic but he attacked the ball early on. Took some heat and did OK. Haven't seen that from him for a long time.

    • 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.
