    Everyone - Happy playing role

     

    Some roles mean you get 6 disposals and run to clog up space all day. Some mean you get 30+ and kick 3

    Some take 10 intercepts, some just defend space.

    This is a team that understand what they do for each other. Nothing proves this better than Gus Brayshaw. Drafted as probably the second best midfielder in his year, finishes third in the brownlow playing as an inside mid. And now asked to run lanes up and down the dead wing as a defensive mid. He, or more importantly his attitude, is the reason we are winning. 

    He should be very proud.

    Petty - his breakout game

    I've been very impressed with Petty lately. I was initially concerned that Tomlison's injury would have a negative effect on our backline, but Petty has covered him perfectly.

    Umpiring was amongst the most Biased I have EVER seen incompetent, inept and kept Port in the game!

    Of all the umpiring we've seen this year I didn't think last night's was anywhere near the worst.

    Yes they made some errors but if you're expecting flawless umpiring you're watching the wrong sport.

    The 50m penalty for Pickett against Jonas in the second quarter was a decision that, had the shoe been on the other foot, Demonland would have erupted over.

    The umpiring wasn't that bad. You sound like an Essendon supporter!

    You would never ever expect anything other than what Angus is doing coming from his exceptional Brayshaw family background.

    He is a most underrated player on the wing and knits up the defence and forward line well with tough competitive football which helps our team keep control on the non Langers wing. Can't remember any game this year our wings have been beaten (except Vs Pies) badly.

    Plus we can play Angus at HB or on the forward line or on the ball if need be also. 

    Champion human being is Gus much like     Previous Capt. Jack Trengove.

    • 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.
