No I didn’t pal. Nor did I drop chest marks out in the open that were lace out pal.

And you played at AFL level intensity in front of 30,000 people as well am I to suppose?

Satisfactory grade but needs to improve

dropped two simple marks and kicking was so so

tackled strongly but twice was after his fumbles

may be back next week ... but not convinced

The thread is not about me mate. Obviously you are a, nice little chino wearing boat shoe, toe tapping Melbourne fan boy.

I played good standard local & country footy infront of good crowds.

Jog on Earl.

Wow another faux tough guy, I'm impressed, well actually no

The 1st half was a horrible team performance 

Every player got better in the 2nd half including JKH

Never missed a kick or handball, never dropped a mark, never missed a goal in front, yep I've had rhose dreams as well, but back to reality

JKH didn't set the world on fire but he was solid, if Goodwin thinks he was, he will pick him for Geelong, strangely he won't read Demonland before he does

Looked a mile off in the first half but lifted after half time.

He's not a rubbish footballer - he can kick, he can handball, he can tackle, he can read the play, fit enough and a good burst of pace.

But he's small, clearly doesn't relish the rough stuff and he seems to lose confidence very easily. The spilled mark running with the flight off the ball was alarming but credit to him for lifting.

Also think he's also the latest square peg in a round hole trying to play on the wing. Surely high half forward (in competition with Spargo and ANB) and even some centre bounce time is a what he's suited to more than the wing. 

Poor first half, but positive 2nd half, used the ball well and 8 tackles.

Worth another week.

Nothing special, but I thought he got better as the game went on.

Defensively he was good, tackling and chasing/pressuring. Offensively, though, not as much. Didn't appear very confident with the ball, didn't seem to get involved in the play too much.

I'd be happy to give him another game next week, see if he can build on this, but I wouldn't be holding my breath.

A couple of very strong tackles. Definitely worth another week. Give him a chance to settle into the AFL intensity. And he’s NOT slow. He has a turn of speed in fact.

Looked more comfortable than Tyson playing on a wing / out of position.

His game was OK and unlike others, I expect him to take a week or two to adjust to AFL level.

He 's a smart footballer with neat skills and maybe just bought himself another game.

Good luck to him.

He tackled strongly and he was quite neat with the ball at times and quick to release.  Had some poor moments but worth another chance.  Probably playing in a position not suited to him as well (wing).

He played a game like this earlier last year too, where he tackled really well and that was about it. At least, he had a couple of good disposals to go with the tackles today.

Not sure he has the tools to make it though. This off season will be interesting. There are probably 4 or 5 in the gun to be delisted and Jay is one of them, although judging by Goody's bear hug on him after the game, he liked what he saw of JKH.

I actually thought he played well? 9 tackles and 15 ddisposal. He can build on todays game..

He did a lot of unrewarding running and i hope over the next few weeks he's rewarded more.

Keep it up JKH!

He's very soft when the ball is in the air. He got beaten a couple of times in the air today and at least one of them resulted in a Bulldogs goal.

Was ok. Got better as the game wore on. Very good defensive pressure. Gets another chance. 

Vince and Lewis are destroying my soul

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Vince in particular, with Jones not far behind.

JKH definitely gets a game next week. He must deliver again next week otherwise his time might be up.

He was ok and deserves another chance, but I don't fancy the second half translating to playing against good teams.

 Didn't see much of game on iPad/Foxtel but saw one passage of play in centre where JKh had some very quick hands to one of the other mid fielders . Certainly better than Tyson . Worth another week.

I watched the game from my phone in North Qld and saw this too.

I actually had him mistaken for Jetta a couple of times going for a spoil. Was then surprised with the lack of physicality in the spoil attempts and realised it was JKH.

Thought he deserved his game and he worked into it well enough.  Needs to work on a couple of things, I think he has something to work with at AFL level and offers a point of difference.

 

Team high tackles, Goodwin was pleased. He's playing nest week.

Agree, he has the run and skills to play wing, but it's going to be hard to make sure the match ups are right because wings will get kick to 1 on 1's at some stage so they better make sure he's not matched up on a strong marker.

Worked himself into the game in the second half. Looked off the pace in the first. His tackling pressure is something we need more of. I hope he continues the way he finished this game next week. If conditions are not ideal it would suit him.

I personally just think the kid needs some credit.

Hasn't set the world on fire by any stretch of the imagination. Makes mistakes but is still a young player.

Im really glad he has put together a couple of games and I hope he can build on it again today.

GL JKH keep up the good work

On exposed form at senior level = not up to it by a fair margin. 

I will have to watch it again.

I thought he did a few very nice things.

  • 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.
