Chandler is solid, plays a great second fiddle to Pickett in the small forward pecking order. Don't think we need to change anything there.

 

Really liked his game yesterday. Kept working hard up the ground and took a career high 8 marks (the late one on Reid was a particular highlight).

Lines up for game 50 against the Bombers this weekend (alongside Kozzy for his 100th).

Absolutely.  he played tall again at times yesterday showing his ability in the air and his body work at a couple of critical times.  I like the mix too with Kozzie.

 

Tracking along nicely. If any criticisms at all I'd love to see him snag more goals with 'half chances' but he's doin alright.

He also gets in a lot of good goal scoring  positions but is burnt a bunch too.

This is true.

I read somewhere (I think) that he was leading the comp in tackles inside forward 50.

 

 

Ranked 2nd behind Switkoski of Fremantle 

 

I prefer Spargo at his best as our 2nd small forward, but his form is a long way in the past at the moment. Goodwin and Co love effort-based players and Chandler is definitely that. He has periods of improvement followed by periods of stagnation but all things considered it has been a constant increase in output, form and effectiveness. I would like to see him kick more goals, especially those he shouldn't be missing, but love what he brings to our team. Glad to see him re-sign.

Could he become a wingman? I think he uses the ball better than Langdon and he has a high work rate?

BUMP!

I thought he was very good yesterday and has been much more consistent this year - last year, he ran out of steam by this stage. He seems to be Nibbler-esque in his team first mentality and a couple of the younger guys have mentioned him as a role model.

His contested marking is excellent for his size: there was one that he took at full stretch on the Shane Warne wing, where he beat a much taller opponent. The highlight, though, was in the final couple of minutes, when he sat Harley Reid down in a crunching marking contest (I’d love to see a replay of that!).

Well done Chin - keep it up son.

Didn't just get Reid. Got McGovern a beauty in the centre of the ground half way through the last quarter. Gov still in hospital from that one:

Defensive forwards are the cornerstone of all good sides and are worth their weight in gold. If you have one, you keep them. If you don’t, you pay a fortune to bring them in. 3 years is I small contract in todays game.

  • 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.
