    Tomlinson - just too slow

    Trac - looks totally off

    Brown B - really quite embarrassing 

    Max - did everything possible

    Salem - rusty but ok

    Harmes - not very effective

    Jackson - just a game

    Viney - tried very hard

    Lever - struggles without #1

    Spargo - had little influence 

    Brayshaw - not worst defender

    Bedford - better than BBB

    Oliver - tried but ineffective 

    Langdon - still looked injured

    Bowey - becoming a worry 

    Jordon - lacks the polish

    Hunt - stick to basics

    ANB - some good things 

    Fritta - flashes of brilliance 

    Sparrow - very costly errors

    Pickett - very rarely involved 

    M Brown - not AFL player

    Well, some of these comments make it clear who opted for the comfort of the lounge chair last night!

    Jordon - 4 qtr contributor

    Pickett - excellent solo efforts

    Oliver - finds a way

    Just had a laugh with my son (who also attended) about having a crisis meeting when we are top of the ladder! My spin is that we just got beaten by two late (dubious free kicks included!) goals by a potential top four team when we have injuries and out of form troops. We can afford to do some creative thinking. This is what we came up with in our morning after analysis.

    Jackson plays key forward (BBB to find form with Casey - a bit like last year! M Brown or Weid to the bench)

    Majak plays from the bench to give Max a rest when needed ( this could be as low as 45% ground time. Majak won't be embarrassed in the ruck contests!)

    Rivers in for Hunt (been steady/consistent but dropped off in the two losses when we were scrambling for backline cover)

    May comes in for Tomlinson (or Petty if he is injured). Salem, Harmes & Tomlinson will be better for the run. Hibberd not far away)

    We have become too predictable! Time to show we have a few new tricks up our sleeve.

    On yesterday's form, too soon for JVR (yes we also watched the entire Casey game). Turner close to a call-up.

    Could we try Tomlinson forward?

    Can’t be worse than current occupants lately.

    Not saying he wasn't good, but there's no va va voom, x factor, call it what you want. I call it vanilla. I'm concerned about our up and coming midfielders.

    You have to remember that Sparrow & Jordon are following instructions and playing a role within the team, there role is to help our va va boom, x - factor stars shine. Their time will come just as it has for Harmes.!!!

    • 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.
