Repeat efforts of that in the finals will mean we win the flag.

Yep. Thursday was like a tune up

    This Package deserves discussion. This is such an incredible effort by our 2IC

    Jack was brutal and focused for 4 Quarters. It is relentless. AFL Players play like this for a Quarter and get praised and rightly so. 
    Jack did it all night, even in the last Quarter 

    This is one of the greatest efforts from 1 player in the History of the MFC

    I am so proud of him

    Thanks for this Edit Mighty 

    Keep it in perspective please.

    I love Jack as well but one of the greatest efforts ????

    Lets not demean past champions.

    I've seen Gary Hardeman, Big Carl, Ray Biffin, Laurie Fowler & others all bleed for the club & lead from the front.

    I’ve seen all those Players too. 
    But Jack took it too another level. 
    All the players you mentioned have never trained to the level of todays players, and i mean no disrespect to them. It’s a different game now. 
    Viney’s intensity did not drop off. Players from the 70’s were not able to do that

    Strange lot you have put up as a comparison. All of them except GH laid coathangers on their opponents. I guess back then that's how they lead from the front.

    Well it seems your not a bright person, if you can read I said he played a different game in the finals last year than during the year and he played well for it, you can thank me for helping him, instead of trying to take everyone on he played like Clarry early years get ball give it off to someone on the run so he was a different footballer and is better off for it, but thanks for the attempt at a cheap shot.

    Just extraordinary. He was still doing it all in the last quarter 

    that’s what i would show to new recruits…

    ”This is what Captain’s do”

    Maybe show Jacko and Angus the footage and tell them they could be up against this if they leave 😱

    Hardly cheap, I am offering redemption for you soul; a chance to recant and say you were wrong about someone so important to your club…

    DJR as well you remember there was the small matters  of punching, elbowing and flattening as well. We know they were condoned with regularity, and yes it was led from the front by every side. Things change and so did the rules. Unless I'm wrong I thought Hardeman got reported too

    I loved his game but that highlights package doesn’t do it justice. 
     

    His influence isn’t portrayed as overly clean and meaningful to the untrained eye. 
    His brute strength and will to win the ball and move it forward was pretty bloody impressive. ❤️💙💪

    People often credit Max's leadership with our flag, but it's pretty clear to me that between them, Jack and Max make a pretty dynamic duo.  I think Jack deserves to be captain in his own right again some day and think he'd do a great job of it too.

    Thursday’s game did his chances no harm

    I reckon Jacks been living the shadow of CP and Oliver fr a while. Having the captaincy back fr a few weeks might just have been what he needed. Critical to flag hopes.

    • 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.
