Turner has been outstanding under pressure 

 

Lohman has been impressive for the Lions. Might get a chance next week with McCarthy out injured. Ooc and dogs apparently keen.

Will see what we need in near 3 quarters

Not whether he can play a full game we won’t.


Adams has developed nicely this year after a slow start from a limited pre-season. Fair bit to work with as a key defensive prospect.

 Agree, I thought Jefferson was starting to look bigger, especially in the hip area. Muscle is building well, which I thought wouldn't happen.

Spargo gone quiet this quarter

Could probably add some value with some stints in the midfield I would have thought.


TMac not applying any fwd defensive pressure. Spargo playing well for mine. Like to see Hibbo lift.

Surprised to see Pig has had some many disposals but there you go. Rate him a cut above most vfl players......

3 tackles, the second highest for the dees. has been fine for a tall forward

And had a couple of poor tackle attempts.  was very good in the first though.

Some of our poor turnovers were from senior players who should be doing much better at this level.

Only one who is putting their hand up for selection are Woewodin and Daniel Turner.

Think that is harsh on T Mac and Hibbo. Agree that the mistakes are bad (a combo of running under the ball and delivery [due to no judging the wind]).

Thought Tom is our most likely key forward replacement atm. Kicked 2 goals and contesting.

Jefferson continues to improve, picking up kicks around the ground. He is a nice mark and lovely kick for goal, as demonstrated by his his beautiful shot today from about 45 out.

Daniel Turner is so dependable in the backline. Will be stunned if he isn’t a regular in the seniors soon.

I still like Deakyn Smith and would persevere with him. Woey going ok too.

Size would help, but the two big contests he lost was he thought he had it and a smaller, quicker opponent stole the ball, turned and ran. Annoying, but not something he can’t fix for the second half 

Edited, as I was wrong.

6th guarantees a week off, as 7 to 10 play for wild card entry into finals.

Dan Turner will be the biggest beneficiary of Petty’s forward form.

Good the AFL is trialling this nonsense instead of working out a way for Casey to not have a bye every second week

Lost count of the Casey errors in that last series of plays

Same old poor disposal costing them this game which they had controlled.

  • 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.
