Haven’t heard much lately about what the leftover players are doing while the team’s playing. Is it all too hard with the compacted fixture?

    Egan’s standouts from Round 11 practice match

    So 12 Demons plus a Kangaroo joined forces to take on St Kilda plus 2 Kangaroos in a 12 v 12 match.

    Highlights -

    • Braydon Preuss in his first game back (explains why he wasn't really an option for Saturday's game) dominated around the hit-outs.

    • Mitch Brown scored five of his side’s nine goals.

    • The delivery inside 50 allowed Brown to do his best work.

    • Jayden Hunt was excellent – presented at the ball really well.

    • Joel Smith was probably the other standout down back in the wet conditions.

    • There's also an update on some of Melbourne’s other young prospects in 2020.

    No mention of Baker or Dunkley. Are they in the hub?

    Good question!

    I was happy to hear that Hunt was delivering the ball well into the F50 (to Brown), as I've always imagined his spot to be high Forward Flank or wing if he can learn to use his pace an deliver to lead up forwards on the burst.

    Sounds like they are developing him to play that role, and he's coming along.

    Bedford has had quite the fall from grace after an excellent pre-season, round 1 start and a decent game. To my knowledge, he's not been named Emergency and hasn't genuinely come into the selection discussion despite some forward line injuries.

    Egan is pretty glowing on the depth on our list. Hopefully he is right and it is not all propaganda.

    Agreed. Think Hunt should be retained due to versatility and that he can offer something going forward.

    • 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.
