Petracca - dynamic and prolific 

Oliver - outstanding first half

Gawn - tried when required 

Harmes - prolific but wasteful 

Jackson - impressive first half

Neal-Bullen - grunt was important 

Brown - rewarded for effort

McDonald - quietish before injury

Brayshaw - impressive gut running 

Pickett - some cameos only

Fritsch - had limited involvement 

Hunt - run was important 

Rivers - was rarely required 

Sparrow - tough but limited

Viney - great tagging role

Lever - was impassable again

May - destroyed his opponent 

Salem - efficient but quiet

Spargo - had limited involvement 

Langdon - another quiet game

Bowey - a promising debut

    Pretty good summary. Appreciate your recognition of Brayshaw. Was a big part of our early dominance.

    I love Salo, been a fan for a long time, but I wouldn't call 7 turnovers and 3 clangers from 17 touches "efficient".

    Agree 100% I hate his little dinky kicks and handballs. He needs to deliver long 50 yard kicks to someone in a good position. He has the kick in him to deliver longer. Just wish he would.

    I don't rate the assessment of Spargs, who I thought was at his excellent best.

    Far too generous on Viney. He was horrendous. 5 free kicks against! I repeat 5! Many of them holding the ball.  

    Must be close to getting dropped now. He plays dumb football.

    Viney - Thinks he's Judd

    Harmes - Thinks he's Dusty

    ...bit harsh as they had their positives but this is what I was thinking when watching them overdo it.

    An otherwise pleasurable game to watch apart from these brain fades and a period I think at the end of the 2nd (maybe 3rd) where we went into luxury (s...a...) mode.

    I was born in 1980 my first words as a baby were mum, dad and Robbie Flower.

    Let's see how the finals play out this year.

    I am hoping Oliver goes to legend status at Melbourne

    If we win( or when we win) the 23 plus all the balance of players and  coaches and FD and Board will all be legends!!

    Then the status can be apportioned in sounder and saner times!!!

    If we make the GF I'd be recommending to every single Demonland poster and reader to back Oliver for the Norm Smith.

    • 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.
