Jake Lever points the finger against Hawthorn on Friday night.

"See that? Right there! He threw it!"

"Yeah .... so what?  In rugby you can do that."

"This is Aussie Rules, you dumb ***!!"

"Oh right ... feet only ... but you can head it. So ... is that guy the goalie?"

    Lever was awesome. Cool calm and measured. hes back to his 2017 all Australian form if he keeps his form up.

    While May was rusty with some of his disposal, it's so good to have a big monster down back who can take the big forwards. He will be vital for is in terms of leadership down if he stays fit.

    Some of Lever's disposal was awry as well. Let's look at the final result instead of nitpicking every nuance. In the old days you went to the footy and enjoyed the spectacle as a visceral once only performance. These days every time a player scratches his head band or puts a finger in one nasal aperture and lets boogs fly from the other it's not only on camera but on replay then for years on You Tube afterwards. It's an imperfect game...

    Lever and May together down back

    Petracca in the middle and Fritsch forward

    Langdon and Tomlinson on the wings

    Jones forward, Lockhart back, a rejuvenated Viney and Melksham and Kozzie lurking in the pocket

    There is actually a lot of significant differences to last years side.

    Sorry DD, but 'All Australian squad' form.

    Same thing. The fact that he was in the initial squad alone is an amazing achievement and shows what he's capable of.

    Jeffy Garlett was in that squad too from memory.

    And so he should have been: he played great games for us.

    Also from memory, he did kick 40+ goals as a small forward that season.

    I'm sure it's already been said elsewhere, but how good was it seeing him run right through Wingard

    The kick in from May to Gawn from the goal square, which immediately led to Langdon sprinting down the wing and then delivering it to Fristch, who converted skillfully on his left, was great to watch - but, on so many levels, it also represented the significant difference between this season and last.

    That so many industry observers and commentators (most notably The Roar) fail to recognise these differences surprises me. Injuries permitting, we should definitely be in the mix this year. And a critical factor in this will be the May and Lever partnership - both of whom I’m hoping will be in the AA conversation by the end of this season.

    I reckon they’ll both prove themselves to be fantastic recruits for this club.

    I think 'balance' is the key to the 2020 team with most of the side now able to play in positions they are now suited to

    It’s Leigh Fisher in the pic. If that’s his grasp on the rules it might explain the fairly premature end to his playing career!

    Ha ha Yeah that may be getting a little carried away but good to see 'Tickets' & May show some solid form nevertheless.....Just hope they both stay injury free as that will be a major factor in our success.

    • 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.
