Gawn - superlatives are insufficient 

Brayshaw - team before self

Fritsch - was probably hampered

Hibberd - licence to attack

Hunt - continued backing himself 

Jackson - our impressive wonderchild

Jones - was just going

Jordon - important in close

Langdon - all Australian form

Lever - playing impressive rebounder

May - our miracle man

McDonald - creating selection dilemmas

Melksham - was rarely sighted

Neal-Bullen - rough but ready

Oliver - prolific and impressive 

Petracca - sublime ball handling

Pickett - rarely got going

Rivers - boundless youthful energy

Salem - Outstanding all game

Spargo - impressive aggressive efforts

Tomlinson - reliability a feature

Viney - great tagging game

    Shock horror but this is the first Joeboy three word assessment I agree with!

    Then again I don't know if Hibbetd had a license to attack!

    Gus started poorly.

    Finished on top.

    Hibberd....back to best.

    Melksham....not top 22.

    May....showed Anzac spirit.

    Salem.....super super skilled.

    Trac...  move over Marrin.

    Gawn...still number one.

    Jackson.....now number two.

    Anb....most improved player.

    Kozzie....will win games.

    Langdon....just so reliable.

    Hunt......turbo still firing.

    Lever....Mr rock solid.

    Oliver....our duracell bunny.

    Viney....there when needed.

    Jones...a true servant.

    Tmac.....better than ever.

    Rivers.....wise for age.

    Christian Salem - The Perfect Game.

    Watched the game with a bunch of Tigers supporters who didn't know anything about him.  They sure do now.  As good of a game as I've seen anyone play in a Melbourne jumper.

    Even though he is not kicking many goals Pickett is still a major contributor and second only to Petracca in score involvements.

    Very important linkman

    I was at the ground and then subsequently watched the replay. What I noticed at the ground but what isn't noticeable on TV was the hard work Brayshaw did running back to help the defenders. Each time the ball was on the other wing, Brayshaw was on his man. The moment it looked like Richmond was going to go forward, Brayshaw had to make a judgement call as to when to leave his man and run hard back into defence. I assume doing so helps free Lever up to play the intercept role. Brayshaw did it excellently all night. It's this sort of team-focused play that makes it really hard when watching a game on TV to know who is playing well and who isn't. It's also a lot of exhausting work, unrewarded by statistics and Supercoach points.

    That's a tad harsh.

    Won some crucial contests, went back with the flight. He isn't a 25 possession player now.

    • 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.
