Brayshaw is the more well rounded player/midfielder

Viney is the better fit

    I'll have Petracca Oliver Pickett thanks

    That's the most attacking combination. I loved it, because Kozzy can still defend and attack.

    But you can only use that combination for short periods because Pickett is needed forward.   I'm talking more about the best midfield combination for the bulk of the game.

    Oliver, Petracca plus any one of Viney, Brayshaw, Harmes.

    Clarrie and Tracc are fixed.

    Come finals Viney is very important because defensively he’s the best of the lot. And he gives Trac and Clarry a lot of protection to get first use of the ball.

    People really underestimate him.

    What I dont want is Ollie and Kozzie sitting on the bench at the bounce

    Viney plays the defensive cog allowing Trac and Clarrie to hunt the ball knowing if the opposition get it they have to contend with Viney.

    This is like asking which one of your kids you love more.

    Does anyone else often recall the first bounce of the 2021 Grand Final? Viney absolutely hammered into Jack McCrae and set a standard for the entire team for the rest of the day. 

    Brayshaw is my favourite Dees player, but the mix of Gawn hitting it to a combination of Petracca, Oliver and Viney covers every possibility, and has excellence in every department. 

    The fact that we can rotate Brayshaw, Kozzie, Harmes, Sparrow etc... through there as second-tier options is mind blowing.

    Iput Brayshaw down as he is better at clearing the ball, Also Viney tends to get done for holding the ball more. Having said all this I would take either.

    Fully agree- couldn’t say it any better ….but, I would like to see Sparrow get a better go, especially up against lesser teams, needs more action in the guts.( experience).

    'Often' would be an understatement...

    In other words, Viney does what Libba failed to do.

    Oliver, Petracca and Kozzie will be our starting and best combination by years end. Mr Pickett is ready to absolutely explode as a player

    • 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.
