Didn't see it - was it in play?

Who could fill his rôle?

    Good opportunity for Oscar Baker to show his wares. Langdon is among our best but with the system we have I reckon Baker can step up.

    Super important player. guessing Baker comes in. big shoes to fill

  • Quote

    Baker has not shown anything and does not run as hard devensively, I’d give someone else a go.  Push ANB to the wing and bring in Bedford

    You've got system but Baker can't cover the K's Langdon does.

    Not many can, a huge loss...

    This is probably the go if Lingers is out

    Nibs the only one who can match his coverage of the ground

    not for mine - gus is playing the defensive wing role brilliantly, and i wouldn't want to change that

    A few options here but let's be honest, none of them are good and losing Langdon against a Brisbane side featuring McCluggage is a major loss.

    Gus was great tonight, he is probably a defensive player though and shouldn't be disrupted from his natural game. The amount of times he stopped their releases from the backline was fantastic. A real finals pressure player. Well done.

    Can't replace Langdon though, hopefully Sparrow gets a go, Brisbane have real grunt players and Sparrow is a big boy.

    Why make 2 changes when you can just make 1?

    McClug playing a lot of centre square. Harmes to him. 

    Zac Bailey equally a threat. As are all of Brisbane’s mids, they’re super deep.

    Baker’s clearly improved his tank, expect he’ll get a chance.

    He will need a rest at some stage anyhow ... happy it's not soft tissue 

    Yeah, I agree. For such a running machine soft tissue injury can ruin your season. He looked bright enough after the game so hopefully not a bad concussion.

     Was starting to think he was becoming dangerously irreplaceable he was playing so well, so it will be good to look at a plan B for the odd occasion he gets stopped. In fact I think they must have put work into stopping his play because he was nowhere near his influential best tonight.

    ANB is too important and is also a see ball get ball player, I don’t think he’ll hold a wing or compete well in the air.

    It’s either Baker, or go with Sparrow on ball and JJ wing I think. JJ’s doing alright from what I can tell as the 3rd wing.

    Makes winning tonight so important and such a bonus - given we’ll be missing such an important player against Brisbane.

    The best sides in the business can still win without 3 of their best 22 out.

    I think it will be Baker that comes in as he’s the closest thing to a winger. We don’t want to be throwing around the magnets too much.

    Hope this game doesn’t end up being in QLD.

    Reckon it'll be Jones.

    Could do,  but would be a waste of an opportunity to use Sparrow and Baker to find out more about them. I wouldn’t mind holding Jones back to later in the year for another chance. Unless we go a double change with someone else who doesn’t play wing and doesn’t pressure.

    • 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.
