    Oliver/Brayshaw/Viney/ANB/Petracca/Gawn - Brave

    Petty & May : Damage done on way down but Brave

    Lever : Truth is a defence in a Libel suit.

    Sparrow/Rivers : work on skills

    Salem : NQR (Physically)

    Spargo /Kossie: increase involvement

    Hibberd/Melsham : Buy a watch (Their time has come)

    Jackson : not our worry it seems

    Brown : needs another forward

    I love the joeboy 3 words every week, so I won't criticise, I'll just give an alternative and completely fail at the three word part:

    Gawn - hampered, tried, taps still sucked

    Petracca - hampered, still a gun, moments of brilliance

    Oliver - tagged out of it, dug the terminator eye

    Viney - as joeboy said, had no influence

    Neal-Bullen - good first quarter, then standard nibbler

    Harmes - good overhead, but in the wrong place too often

    Brayshaw - one of the few contested winners for the night

    Petty - my man, superhero effort

    Salem - why can't he kick anymore?

    Hunt - missing too often, not a great defender, not enough drive

    Jackson - love him, but was wearing Chris Dawes gloves tonight (I also love Chris Dawes)

    Langdon - tried, honestly was decent

    May - just a gun, spent all day angry at his teammates though, wasn't the defence's fault, guy needs to chill

    Lever - 50/50 game

    Brown - yeah, that was pretty bad

    Pickett - love him, one of the few highlights for us, constantly dangerous

    Melksham - garbage

    Sparrow - just horrendous

    Fritsch - gave no pressure, reliable set-shot, unwilling to put his body on the line, disappointing overall

    Hibberd - was ok, couldn't expect miracles with the rest of the mess

    Rivers - messed up pretty much every opportunity, but he'll be better next year

    Spargo - too slow, can't kick 30m, not enough pressure, missed opportunities

    team overall - not enough pressure, too conservative, hella banged up

    coaching - what the hell is our attacking structure? We're so conservative that we're unable to score, reliant entirely on moments of brilliance from Kossy, Oliver or Petracca. Way too focused on not being scored against that we're completely unable to move it forward. Horrible to watch all year, even when we were winning. Sort it out. Lots to work on over summer.

    Don’t use tht phrase. Annoys me no end. What on earth makes winning the premiership last year any different, other.than the disappointment of diehard fans not being able to attend? Finals played in front of crowds. Full length games. I really hate this notion that last year was some sort of undeserved premiership.

    It was 1000% deserved but it plain sucks that they won a flag when we couldn’t see it. 

    And then a year later we get dished up a woeful finals series at our home.

    Yeah I agree, was using it in jest, but also to highlight the rubbish that gawn and co continually spewed earlier in the year about the drive to win it in front of the fans.

    • 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.
