Tomlinson. Wow. He disappeared for most of the night. 6 kicks. 

Did the job on Hogan though.

    Hogan had a shocker. He fumbled about 7-8 marks and slipped over many times and gave away the ill disciplined 50 penalty.  Not great conditions but others did mark the footy ok. Hogan only had one good moment in the last minute.  Tomlinson was not terrible but had no influence or sight on the game.

    Having watched the game at length now, I'm happy to go with:

    6 Rivers - yes he's a kid but he really tried to take us forward all night. If only he converted his two shots. 

    5 Gawn - Yes he was involved in two of their goals but still a massive presence which we all tend to underrate.

    4 Viney - our hardest worker, but like his midfield colleagues missed targets so his intensity, not his influence, gets him these votes.

    3 Fritsch - our cleanest marker on the night and hit more targets than others.

    2 May - how many did Taberner kick? Our three talls down back kept their three forwards goalless.  May did more offense work than Lever and Tommo, hence his votes.

    1 Petracca - brilliant third term but unlike his hot spell mid-season, struggled to be clean with his disposal in the conditions.

    6. Gawn - again comprehensively beat his opponents, some big marks on a terrible night for marking.

    5. Viney - an excellent effort, with some effectiveness.

    4. Rivers - a steady and sometimes brilliant game. A big future for this lad.

    3. Fritsch - wish he went a bit harder but he is a genuine talent.

    2. May - although not up to his recent high standards he did his job and kept the Freo key forwards quiet.

    1. Petracca - toiled hard and kept himself in the game.

    I have re watched the game and Gawn made a couple of bad blues but he is held up to such a high standard.  If any other ruck in the league played that game in those conditions they'd be lauded.  Against a couple of decent opponents too. Very impressed with Rivers.  I think he beats out Jackson and Pickett as our best first year player.

    • 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.
