DL has got a banner with  lot of our favorite players featured. 

My review of the banner performances Round 2 below.

Petracca - An excellent game with power, balance and vision. BOG. Banner place justified

May - Just a game. nothing to do for a quarter and a half and when the pressure came on was part of a disorganised defence.

Oliver - A good game from him he does what he does and does it well. Banner place justified

Jetta - Not a good game. Has it passed him by or is it just a form slump?

Gawn - A very good game from him but do I sense a bit too much arrogance in his game. Want to see how his leadership progresses. Banner place justified

Viney - Loved his tackling. when he gets hold of someone they do not get away. Banner place justified

vdB - Would like to see him fit and in the team. he need his hardness.

TMac - Turning circle of the Queen Mary and out of form. Or maybe it is a lack of fitness standards he had in 2018.

Goodwin - Calm in the box but he seems reluctant to make changes during the game.

    May was horrid on the weekend.

    We’re entitled to expect much better from him.

    His kicking was way off and a costly marking attempt resulted in a Carlton goal.

    Gawn's performance was underrated on here I reckon. I know it's a flawed ranking system, but 185 supercoach points in a shortened game is a phenominal effort. Seemed like half our scoring chains started with a clean hitout to advantage from Maxy - proved that a dominant ruckman can still be an asset in modern footy.

    I do not underrate his performance against the Blues at all. However, he is now the Captain of the team and his on field leadership needs to be evaluated on a game by game basis. While he may have been leading by example, he will need to do more in the future to try and change things on the ground as the situation requires. I did not see that on Saturday.

    • 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.
