The odd splattered disposal is a feature of Hunt’s game in general unfortunately, particularly by hand. I place him in a similar category to Frost - plays an exciting style of game and does a lot right, but always a chance to do a few things in a game that make your eyes water.

Surprised at the negativity on Jones’ game. I thought he had a pretty tidy game, especially considering he was on for the entire second half without break. Where and when were these terrible mistakes?

I thought Jones was one of our best. His spearing kick to Tmac was a ripper but it bounced off Tmac’s chest it was that good.

    Agree. Really liking him at HB. His kicking has been excellent and goes some way to balancing the woeful kicking of Frost and Fritter.

    Weiderman- Nearly there game

    Fine line between a good game and bad game, kicks those 2 goals that he one in the first and one in the second he has a good game, missed both badly and it goes the other way.

    Having just recovered from wedding + post wedding "recovery" function (I can't keep up these days), I've just watched the reply -

    Frost does seriously good things when under pressure - it is a bit of a wild ride, but his closing speed and bravery are priceless, I reckon.

    Mostly agree, only ones I'd change personally are...

    Viney - Bullocking but dumb.

    Frost - Contract extension time.

    Brayshaw - Should be dropped.

    Dunkley - Coupla nice moments.

     

    I think lgical football people would drop a few before Gus. Otherwise agree wtrh post.

    Sure, finally decided to lay a tackle once he was put in the middle, but still seems to be struggling to get around to contests. 2 clearances is poor IMO, and his disposal is not any better. Just think he's been 'off' all year and if he's carrying a niggle (which I've heard is the case) he should be sent off to get right for preseason.

     

    The reson he did not have many clearances is because he is not in there as much as last year.  Pretty hard to get a clearance when you are told to be 30 m away

    Jones. You're joking. 

    Dunkley. Some good things under pressure 

    May. Saved the game.

    Petty. Shows potential 

    Frost. Starting 22 in 2020

    Neal bullen. B grade

    Viney. Not a thinking footballer

    Oliver. Leadership in spades

    Frost - B&F top 10.

    Agree with everything bar Dunkley.  Like Matthews said about Watts' first game, I didn't see any component to hang a hat on.

    Lockhart - Courage courage courage.

    We're talking about yesterday's game, and he played plenty of time in the middle.

    • 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.
