when you dominate a quarter and a half and only kick 4.10 it's going to come back and bite you.

    Mcpherson a nice specky in the pack and kicks truly.  Three in a row for the Doggys now.

    Hibb with 20 disposals putting his hand up for the job on Paps this week

    Hibberd with 13 possessions in the 2nd quarter. Making a statement.

    I love Hibbo. He only knows one way. Straight through.

    For who though Chook?

    Dunstan is more likely for Harmes.  Getting a fair bit of it so far.  Needs to clean up the disposal somewhat

    Melksham. Can’t see why Jordon couldn’t replace Harmes either. Also Hibberd for McVee - going well at Casey. Schache for Max.

    Great to see several players putting their hands up and keeping pressure on the seniors.

    Jordon has been quality and  should replace Harmes.

    Hibberd had got a lot of ball sweeping but I am not convinced anymore on him defensively. McVee would be very stiff to not play round 3 being Cameron took one mark and kicked 2 goals on a night when our backs were massively under the pump.  

    Schache has not hurt his chances but interesting that JVR seems to have been preferred to relieve in the ruck behind Bell. Whether to play Schache, JVR or both is still up for grabs based on their second half output.

    Jordon completely dominating in the midfield. Direct replacement for Harmes thanks.

    Hibbo still got it. You'd think he'd come in for McVee who I actually thought battled well. Another senior head down back won't hurt.

    Schache the dominant forward so far. Has already taken 5 marks in the first half and unlucky not to have a couple of goals on board.

    Special mention to Bailey Laurie. Looks complete different player to what he was last year. Class, poise and distributing well.

    Rough end of the half losing some centre clearances and getting beat by some good efforts by the Dogs forwards.

    JJ’s been impressive with his ability to cover the ground and contested work in important contests. Whether he’s truly an inside mid just yet is another question but he’s certainly pushing for a spot and they can move wingers and find room for him. He’s kept it simple.

    Dunstan’s been Dunstan.

    Hibbo’s had some good moments, he’s certainly still a star at this level.

    Howes flashes brilliance just needs to get more playing at half back. K Turner has more work to do on his kicking than I thought previously but he’s very willing 

    Scache’s been the best of the key forwards taking marks and drawing free kicks. JVR’s best has been enticing but he’s made a few unusual errors with his kicking. Has been involved though which is good.

    I’ve really liked the game of Max Gregory aka Fake Bowey.

    Hannan having a pretty mad third term.  Him & Mcpherson bringing the Dogs back into it.

    Holding call against the Doggys in the Square sees JVR get his first to get one back

    • 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.
