And play him where? At half forward or on a wing? I don't see it. He's not great above his head. 

I agree that his dinky kicks might be okay going inside 50, but I think getting it in his hands is the harder part across half forward.

He played forward at the start of his career and did well. It would be a mix of high half forward and wing. He has the ability to find the ball so I’m not sure where the idea he can’t has come from. And imo we have one too many in our forward line who are low possession/high impact players as it is, in the likes of Fritsch, Melksham, Pickett and Hannan, so I think he would balance that out a bit and add a bit of calmness to our attack.

    Fair enough. I thought he struggled to find the ball until he moved back behind it. But we'll see.

    I feel that Christian actually stops our forward momentum at times. His first instinct is to stop and to look for a target whereas looking for a target whilst moving forward would be more beneficial.

    • 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.
