    I like Jack Viney but it neatly sums our forward woes when the coaches think our most reliable set shot is a dodgy left footer who struggles from 40m+. 
    He has kicked 32.29 from his 120 games

    Around 40m or closer i’d go T Mac. Over 40 I’ll choose Hunt, he holds the clutch award from 2019.

    I'm going Salem within 45m.

    Outside 45m I'd go a bit of a roughy and say Steven May who has a beautiful and long kick.

    My future up and comer however is Trent Rivers and I think he could quickly become the best kick in our side.

    For set shots he’s one of our worst.

    He is a bit like Maxy in so far as you put him within 15 - 20m straight in front and he gets the yips.  Further out than that, or hard up against the boundry right in the pocket, I think they go all right.

    If it's from the boundary, then Maxy is Da Man.

    I can't work out if this clip shows a replay or the second of these goals that Max kicked from the same spot in the space of about 5mins.

    The spray he gives the Bombers fan afterwards is gold and would be worth while setting up Max to kick for goal just to get up opposition supporters.

    Those stats say Weideman and so do i. If he gets a go this year it will become obvious....

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
