    Now, if Jesse could just learn to kick straight, he WILL be a weapon!

    Ah, annoyed someone else posted it before me! An exciting figure. Also, going at two goals a game is a pretty good start!

    For a bonus -

    Who leads the AFL for one-percenters, as well as being 5th for marks?

    I absolutely love Hogan and really believe he is going to be a star and elite key forward. However, gone are the days where you would recruit a young player and think to yourself 'gee this guy is going to be our marque player, we found one here'

    The way the game is now, the thought that dampens the future of our stars is whether or not they will just demand to go home when their contract is up and be forced to accept a trade because of that.. I'm not saying Hogan will do this. I just miss the days where players had less of a say with where they would end up and you could appreciate landing and holding onto a star player and building a team around him rather than the thought of losing him.

    Who is Tom McDonald.

    For $200 who currently sits 13th for tackles?

    You won't give me $200. But for the record, the answer is Cale Morton, he is having a great year.

    That doesn't dampen it at all for me. I have no reason to suspect Hogan is going anywhere - plenty of marquee players haven't, in the face of some amazing interest elsewhere. Live in the now and don't spend your whole life crapping yourself over what might but probably won't happen in 5 years time.

    Hogan has already had the chance to go home and he extended his contract. By all reports he loves being in Melbourne.

    Gee he looks good. My query is on the penetration of his kicking. For those who watched him at Casey and I did can he kick it 50+ metres? I can't remember thinking there was an issue 2 years ago.

    Inorite? Who would want employees to choose where they work!

    Adapt or die. The club has to find a way to keep (and develop) talent.

    Just curious,

    What pick did your employer take you at?

    Interestingly he's equal 18th for Marks, and equal 17th for marks inside 50M - highlights his lack of experience in finding space on lead near goals (and perhaps on the quality of the ball coming in...

    Early days but good signs, when his experience and confidence grows, he should be a gem.

    • 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.
