    Brayshaws 44% disposal efficiency wasn't overly classy...and I say this as #1 ticket holder to the Gus fan club

    Hey, hang on.. I thought I was the number one ticket holder of that prestigious establishment! I demand a duel at dawn!!

    But like you, I could not give him votes for his game last night - his disposal was poor.

    It looked to me like Max was putting his arms up to mark the ball but not really trying to grab it.As if he is tired of being thumped in the contest week in week out

    I love him but have nightmares about his left foot 😂

    It's pretty unlucky to not really have any frontline midfielders who are great kicks..  Brayshaw hasn't exactly raised the standard there, efficiency is probably his biggest weakness.

    If our kicking skills in the middle were just a little better we would absolutely dominate teams.  Jealous of the Hawthorn and Brisbane midfields in their special eras, they were hard as nails but nearly all fantastic kicks too.

    He was carrying a minor injury apparently.  There was some thought that he might have been a late out.  He seemed to mark ok once the game went on but his mobility was definitely not at its usual standard. Fortunately Jackson stepped up and played one of his better games for the year.

    It does not matter ,getting it/making sure the other mob do not  is the first step, the rest is icing on the cake !!

    Is there a league wide stat for the player who kicks the ball out on the full the most often?

    Joeboy: gets it 100% right when we win by 10 goals and 90% wrong when we loose by two goals.

    • 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.
