Imagine a convoy of range rovers linked end to end.

You mean like Yarra Park car park on game day at the g?

Choc Williams spending a lot of time out in the middle with Jordan, Sparrow & Bedford.

Today I'm most looking forward to seeing how Bowey and Jordan go, along with the re-emergence of Harmes and Hunt back in the positions they play best.

 

*Bowey, not Rosman

    It’s on here at 1210. Funnily enough it coincided with me feeling a bit crook and having to take the rest of the day off.

    First time at the footy for a looong time. Feels great. Some  things  never change (cost of chips at Etihad/Marvel/whatever, Maxy’s ball drop). 
     

    Saw Rivers and Lockhart doing kick to kick. Instead of just kicking straight to the other (plenty of that, amazing skills, training the house down etc) they faced at right angles to the other and “ran back off the mark”, turned 90 degrees and kicked to the other. 
     

    interesting drill, an example of deliberative practice. Wonder if Chocko had a hand in that?

    i wouldn't

    he competes harder than a lot of more ballyhooed players

    He does and I would have vanders in the side mainly because he can put in the hard yards consistently as a forward (playing as a tall option) Ben Brown when fit is another.  The rest ... doesn't happen

    The rest of them are in a general sense not playing as forwards should do ... fundamentals ignored and that's why we don't win enough games

    It's fair to say the AVB is not blessed with a lot of talent but he is best suited as a forward as he often gets the ball in the hot spot (our other forwards won't venture to that area often enough - getting crunched in the hot spot probably doesn't appeal)

    People here should watch where our forwards are positioned today when the ball goes into our forward line.  Do we utilise the hot spot?  Playing in front of our opponents?  2nd & 3rd efforts?  Do we make multiple leads and present to the midfielders?  Are we capable of retaining possession of the ball in our forward line?

    Every game I watch with great intent as to how our forward line functions.  I urge others to do the same especially when premiership points are at stake

    And if we don't do enough of the above it won't matter how many touches our midfielders get.

    • 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.
