Emergencies are Bedford, Sparrow, Weideman and J Smith (i.e. Sparrow, last week's medi-sub, is "out").

    Dogs have gone tall, bringing in Schache to play alongside Bruce and Ugle-Hagan (and Naughton, of course).

    Dogs going all of Naughton, Bruce, Ugle-Hagen and Shache.

    Looks potent on paper, if the latter 2 snags some goals along with Naughton and Bruce.

    Interesting call given it is likely to be a wet night

    Dogs clearly want 1 on 1 in our backline to stop lever intercepting, expect shache to try and play a negating roll on lever

    English too.

    I wonder whether this is a ruck issue - they don't want to be too small when Bruce is in the ruck giving English a rest, so they want to ensure that at any time they have Naughton, Ugle-Hagan and one of Bruce/Schache forward to keep May and Lever honest.

    And our weakness down back is covering mid size and small forwards

    More fool them. Lever prefers summer rolls

    Interesting calls all around. 
    Don’t know that Vanders did much wrong and Harmes is in luke warm form at best. But he’s more attacking which we need as I think Viney makes us too defensive.

    Vanders didn’t do a lot wrong, but he is way to slow. And his disposal isn’t great. Harmes is an upgrade. Reckon that’s all.

    Happy to see Harmes back, but disappointed to lose AVB

    Was far from our worst last weekend.

    Weather is wet and windy, the nemesis of a tall forward line... bad call by Bevo i reckon unless he thinks we are playing under the closed roof of Marvel Stadium.

    Trying to stretch May, Lever & Petty. Could backfire if wet.

    It is the blueprint to beat us, so not surprised at all. Just have to ensure that the midfield brings an extra level of defensive intensity and sustains it for 4 quarters.

    Bevo still having nightmares of may and Lever obviously. 

    Hilarious selections.

    Shache in screams late out. Although Jamarra is good at ground level.

    This his to be the reason, Bevo is out of his mind if he thinks that could work on a wet MCG

    • 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.
