    It was good to see Jayden playing some decent football in patches, but it still feels as though he is capable of so much more. I'm not sure that he is best 22 in a full strength forward line playing his current role.

    Jayden's gamestyle does not go well with the modern high possession game.

    As a forward he is a stop gap for players like Melksham when injured.

    Another project for the coaching team to work out how to leverage his skills.

    Perhaps something as revolutionary as leaving a fast forward around the 80metre line so Hunt can kick to space for the forward to run onto.

    As a fwd he's hard to stop on a lead and he can lay a tackle. The fwd pressure was sadly lacking this year from most but he equipped himself quite well.

    He's a small forward with ability to jump for marks.  Our fastest small forward to create pressure, and kicked our second most goals.  With a better forward line he could boost 20 goals to between 30 and 40.    That's our problem - where do the goals come from.  He's a necessity.

    I thought he was the best of our experiments as a non key forward. I'd like to see it continue and have him specifically trained & coached in that role over the pre-season. We may have only scratched the surface of what he has to offer there

    Quite apart from his attacking roles as a forward and his ability to kick goals, his run and ability and willingness to chase defenders is really important.  The more he works on this the better he will become.

    • 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.
