Angus - he was captain for the day, you can tell he is a tough, classy AFL level on baller

Daw - did ok, big frame, reasonable fitness, didn't pluck any massive grabs, ok in the ruck

How much game time did Angus play? Will he be fit enough to play an AFL game given his limited preseason?

 

Would of played around 60 minutes 

I reckon he is not 100% for yet but given his standing and the way the team needed him yesterday he will probably push to be selected

If Petty and Kozzy get through full games next weekend then they're absolute locks for round 1 imo.

I don't think they will play Petty and keep the backline as settled as possible. Sounds like Goodwin loves Petty so I'm sure hes' not far off though. Kozzie if fit will play no doubt.

Still sounds like he is 2 games away. It is already clear from the preseason games that the AFL is not for players who aren't fully fit because of the interchange cap and normal length quarters.

Biffo. I think we need to play Petty instead of Tomlinson plus Salem in for Bowey who will benefit from games at Casey. Kozzie in for Spargo plus the Mids that didn't play and we start to get a half decent side. Hibbo will need a couple more weeks. 

I reiterate past comments that I'm worried with our depth. Just hope most of the newbies get some consistent runs at Casey and start to improve.

The Dogs were on top all day but we did not stop trying it was a game played in our defensive half

 

Declase  - played well given the Dogs were dominant, took at least 5 marks, has a long kick on him, only his first game so needs time to build confidence

Kozzie - gun, excellent fitness and tremendous work ethic, tough, fast and athletically gifted, he can definitely play midfield, side steps, twists, just a ripper 

Petty - great defensive game considering under the pump all day, plenty of intercept marks, will slot straight in if May and Lever need help, would prefer him play instead of Tomlinson

Laurie - worked hard, got caught holding the ball trying to do a side step but didn't let it demoralised him, would like to see him play wing in the same game as Baker to get a read on who has more impact 

Rosman - didn't have much impact but that could be because the ball was hardly ever kicked to him

ROSMAN - Didn't have much impact , but that could be because the ball was hardly ever kicked to him

I believe he played deep forward. ( Given reports from watchers that were there)  This guy is a natural winger!! IMO, I've seen him at training and he impresses with a few tricks. YET in a game dominated by Footscray where the ball was not forward all that much , they play him there??! I say MADNESS, Can someone who was there confirm this??

  • 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.
