Seriously not enough love for this guy. Throws himself at every content's and won some genuine won on won's down back. Loved his intercept mark in the first quarter also.

He shows a lot of traits of Jetta when he was at his peak.

Fantastic game tonight.

 

Yes he brings a lot of pressure and mostly solid with his disposal, good overhead as well, fits in very well in the back half and deserves his spot every week.

 

Am I right saying he is equally adapt on either side?

Yep.

Can just as easily play as a small forward and play it well also.

Remember his Freo and Hawks game last year?

I love Jetta ,but Lockart is his reincarnation . SImilar traits insofar as Courage, Toughness  and "Teamness". HAs been  extremely solid . Notice the other wekk when he appeared to fighting outside his weight range and May came in to help him out. Back six is gelling.

Love this guy but needs to check his stops. Slips over at crucial moments, that is his only downside. Otherwise he often attacks from back pocket to set up plays the opposition never saw coming. 

 

SOLID.  Better kick than Jetta too, more accomplished than I thought..


yep good game

just sometimes he puts a little too much mayo on his kicking, need to cut that out as a backman and take the easier kick option

agree about the stops

I’ve liked him from day dot. He’s a proper footballer. Will be around for a while to come.

Really excited by his development. Well done, Jay and Matty Egan.

He did slip a bit too much for my liking tonight, but he's got courage, he's got nice agility and is neat with his disposal. These are traits of Nev. Perfect replacement.


What I like about Lockhart is he's cool in a crisis. Oh and he has a red hot go. Compliments that backline well. 

Uncle Nev is gonna have to do something special to get back into this team.

He's the new rubberman, he's so energetic, never understood the dislike for the young man, paid his dues deserves respect from all now.

Just a point of order... there are some things that Jetta brought that Jay may develop.

Jets is really annoying to small forwards (and others). He has a nifty way of holding on without being pinged. I have heard, first hand, team mates complain about this in pre-season simulation training, to the point where Dunny once advised his team to, "just hit him"!

Jets rarely panics... if he is beaten he just fronts up for the next contest.

Jets knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.!

He's a beauty and can see him being a really important player for us heading into October.

Noted this. Always seems to slip over

You taking the [censored] with the spelling in that quote?

Loved the moment when he sprinted back to the goal line to contest a ball and cannonned into the point post. Great closing speed.

Can he and Rivers play in the same team? I know they have different attributes, but in terms of experience level for the lead in to potential finals.

Harmes to fwd/wing rotation at the expensive of Jones, Rivers to half-back (not talking about for next week, as Jones was good, but that'd be my idea, considering it looks like Harmes will never be dropped).

I'm about half a slab deep

Always been a fan. I was very vocal on him not being in the team earlier this year. He’s far from a finished product, but he’s exactly what we need in the back pocket going forward. Quick, tough, aggressive tackler, takes the game on, good kick. 

With Jetta on his last legs, Lockhart should be a mainstay in the back pocket for the foreseeable future.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
