Brown, Weideman and Fritsch is ideal for me, but all credit to McDonald for the year he's having.

    Not sure why Hawthorn in 1971 is not on that list. Peter Hudson kicked 150 goals on his own, so add any other two players - even the full back and back pocket -  and it's better than Brisbane's 142 in 2001.

    What's our best 3 Pronged Attack?

    Whats the criteria for that list?

    They left off Lyon, Schwarz and Jakovich who combined for 190 goals in 1994.

    Probably because the article is about forward lines with three prolific goal kickers.

    What I can't work out is the note that says * DENOTES PREMIERS but there are no asterisks to be seen.

    It's a pretty arbitrary list. Mark Jackson and Gerard Healy kicked 153 between them in 1982. Don't know who the third best that year was, but still better than Brisbane in 2001.

    I reckon our best 3 pronged attack was Mueller, Baggott and Norm Smith in 1939.

    Won us a flag. Good enough for me.

    The ol' joke comes to mind . . . what would you do if Jesus Christ came to Glenferrie Road . . . ?

    Of course.  Should have picked that up.

    • 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.
