Cross is still doing his job, he took Ellis last night and whilst he (Ellis) got a bit of the ball he had next to no effect.

Agree at the moment he is doing well, but if Mitchie keeps playing and get better, Viney comes back and Newton etc play then Cross will feel the squeeze, not saying he would be dropped.

But I mean this in a good way, Cross has been immense for us. Very happy we got him.

    Agree he made an impact when he came on, was good to see.

    I'm sure I saw him get a knock to the ribs or stomach during that last quarter. He was barely moving after it happened. He couldn't run for most of the last quarter.

    I'm not so sure he'll be right this week.

    Surely that has to be the end game for Cross. He's here almost as an on field coach, I would think he'd want the younger players baring down on him and forcing him to retain it.

    Corked hip. Will be fine. He finished out the game. He was knackered at the end because he had not been off the ground for the lat quarter and a half. Ran himself into the ground.

    Cross was recruited with the plan our young blokes would overtake him but he'd provide leadership and an example and play a role on field.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see him retained in a role similar to Byrnes next year. I don't think he will play on.

    Very happy with Viv's game. Wouldn't have said it was 60% game time, I'd say more like 75-80%, but certainly very impressive. Newton and Michie may well become part of a very strong midfield. We just need a bit more speed through there.

    I think he'll go around another season and he is still easily best 18.

    Thanks for that - I already thought he stood up before I knew that he wasn't participating in the rotations. Gutsy.

    I know it's been asked before, but what's your connection with Viv?

    • 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.
