Yep gave pies 2 direct goals and fumbles alot. 

Doesn't like body contact much I don't think 

Couple of coach killers but still played part in team defence.

    Tomlinson reminds me of a Neeld-era player. Can't see it.

    Agree but has a role to play. It’s not on the wing.  Can fit in at CHB imo

    Im hoping he gets better with some continuity because he wasn't like that at Adelaide, at he's best he was backing into contests and taking intercept marks, still young enough to build on, although we payed through the roof for him

    He doesnt like front on contact, not many players do, but he will avoid it. He is a handy third tall. Not much more or less.

    I would give him a whole preseason of boxing, has to learn to play dirty, you can't have defenders who are scared to get hurt in big finals. I appreciate he may be a great 3rd tall, intercepter, but he can still learn to hold he's own in a one on one.

    I’ve seen Lever commit to a number of courageous acts through the last few weeks, even in the Port debacle.. so I think it’s a bit unfair to say he shirks contact.

    Everyone can have off games, think he’s coming along nicely.

    Brayshaw - an important connector

    Salem - possessions finally effective 

    Langdon - just keeps giving

    Petracca - excellent, not elite

    Oliver - prolific and vital

    May - a solid rock

    Fritsch - better second half

    Viney - normal bullocking performance 

    Hibberd - continued solid form

    Preuss - was not disgraced

    Melksham - took his chances

    Lockhart - brave and smart

    vandenBerg - glad he’s ours

    Jones - cunning but slow 

    Weideman  - making an impact

    Harmes - disciplined team first

    Spargo - great first half

    Tomlinson - was rarely sighted

    Sparrow - better each game

    McDonald - fumbly but improving 

    Lever - not his best

    Pickett - couldn’t get going 

    Spot on Joeboy however I would have put in for Tomlinson - "Did his job". Was at ground and his defensive positioning was good blocking paths where the Pies wanted to go. Plenty of defensive punches in the packs.

    Wouldn’t listen to Garry Lyon to much, we have to win by over a hundred points for him to give us any credit 

    the time when Gary was going off and giving it to Lever it was actually Hibberd that gave away the holding free kick. He blamed the wrong Mustachio brother

    No one saying he shirks contests.

    @praha - re: Tomlinson.  He certainly hasn't set the world alight since coming here, but I feel for him a bit.  Was recruited to play on the wing, which we did for a few rounds before we forced him into a back up ruck role.  Got dropped, a bit unfairly if you ask me but to each their own, and has then been brought back into the side as a key defender.  

    Poor bloke hasn't had the opportunity to settle into a role yet.  I haven't seen him make any glaring errors and he was part of a back six that dominated last night, so I'm happy to give him more time.

    Joeboy - good summary this week!

    He was the number 1 intercept marking player in the comp and had just played in a GF when we got him so of course we payed alot. 

    It's gonna pay off though, our backline is the best its ever been

    • 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.
