Parish set a record with the number of possessions.  Will probably get high votes from both coaches (10 will go to the Akermanis clone).  But gee Parish is a frustrating player; runs hard to get a possession but lopes around when it is time to chase.

At the end of the first qtr yesterday he had 15 possessions with distance gained:  90 mtrs!!!  Its circuit handball work for him. 

Talk about chasing Brownlow votes.

He is the epitome of an outside receiver and very very vanilla. Just a Meh acumulator thats all he is Pass

    I see Grundy could out for 8-10 weeks for the pies. If so he will be paid approx $100k a game. 

    Collingwood were always good at splashing cash around for good, ordinary players!

    When will they outlaw knees up at a ruck contest? 

    Agreed.

    Too often Max ends up with knees in his chest but gets pinned for 'blocking' if he puts his arm out to protect himself and keep the ruckman at bay.

    Draper deliberately targeted Grundy's knees.  There was a ball up after Grundy's right knee was injured where Draper stayed down, took his eyes off the ball and waited for Grundy to go up and then jumped just high enough to reach Grundy's (good) knee.  Should have been cited for rough conduct.

    My immediate thought:  thank God we have already played Ess and aren't up against Draper again this year.

    Draper is lining himself up for a suspension soon the way he plays.

    only a matter of time til the bounce is dead

    tip-off at the centre seems an inevitability

    Saw footage of how Darcy plays.  He also took his eyes off the ball and waited till Pittonet leapt before jumping in with his knee.  Pittonet out with a PCL.  Like Draper's action it looked deliberate.

    As soon as a ruckman takes his eyes off the ball at a CB the umpire should call a free.  Or do it often enough cited by MRO for rough conduct, fined and if need be suspended.  

    We don't need the better/best ruckman to be taken out.

    • 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.
