    The way Selwood, Dangerfield and now Ablett in the twilight of his career play for frees really is tiring. Umpires don't play into it anymore like they did in past years. Compare Oliver, Viney, Harmes, the way they play and just get it done. Dusty is similar, Mitchell at the Hawks. They just get on with it and win the ball. Selwood has made a career out of buckling his knees and throwing his head back. Nothing sweeter then seeing him flattened like that.

    There is a changing of the guard not just at Melbourne but across the league. These stars of yesteryear are being found out. More cameras and eyes than ever before and they can't get away with it. These days you have to win the ball the old fashion way. And we are primed for it. I don't think I've seen Oliver carry on the way Selwood does and has his whole career. Hogan is probably the only player in the team that seems to expect a free ride from the umpires.

    Oliver had 3 moments were he went in so [censored] hard and won the ball each time. I think all of them were against Joel aswell.

    Now all the casual AFL fan's who think teams like Geelong are good just because of the names they have can see the new breed. Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Viney, Trac, Vanders, Hannan and Weids all had moments tonight.

    • 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.
