    joeboy - keep on punchin’

    A consistent and fair appraisal overall. Goody in his presser seemed pleased that Sammy Mitchell persisted with his master tagger. Just leaves the hawks one short offensively at the centre bounces and ball ups. The Demon onball collective appeared to enjoy an even team orientated performance. Clayton Oliver contributed manfully with 23 possessions despite quote ‘couldn’t shake opponent’ and being the focus of some extracurricular physical attention. With 14 disposals in the Round 23 clash last season that triplet would fit. Given the coach’s tactical response and the fact that #13 had an over 60% improvement in possessions this time.

    Oliver - cunning plan gazumped 

    Ed watch 26 disposals at 76.9% DE 4 tackles at 92% ToG%. 

    Langdon - kicks klicks quick

    Young Caleb’s GPS data must be impressive considering his youth. Great addition to the Winger’s club.

    Windsor - has the tank

    Nice on Fritta - loved it when he outbodied Sicily to mark and goal in the last qtr, who went down like a sack of spuds

    Good to see him back to his best.

    As much as I don't like Sicily I can see why the Hawks fought to keep him in. They would have been beaten by another four goals.

    And I reckon if the paid even a quarter of the incorrect disposals against both teams the game would have flowed more and we would have scored more.

    With three talls playing Fritta is at his best. Admittedly Bbb was down, Petty moved back and Jvr in the ruck may have given him more room.

    Also since the inclusion of more talls, Chandler, Kozzie and Nibbler are kicking more goals.

    I'm sure the Hawks threw extra numbers around the ball after the first quarter and it became a bit of a bog fest.

    I'm wondering if Chol has form for using knees and feet out. Was all legit against Maysie but still punishing. He also led with his foot out in the ruck and clipped Jvr on the head. Very dangerous. A touch of Toby G perhaps.

    I've also thought Hawks are a dirty team and the way they went after Oliver confirmed my beliefs.

    Anyway, for so very long we have been their bunnies so I'm revelling in the amount of wins we've had over them recently.

    Petracca - laser like bullets

    van Rooyen - our 2nd ruckman

    Petty - versatility is gold

    Howes - most improved player

    Windsor - pace to burn

    That was right in front of me and i had perfect real time view. I will hate anyone for life if they wrong a Melbourne player. May was flying back like the clappers at an angle courageously, Chol had every right to do what he did.

    Having seen the replay, I suspect the damage to May's ribs was caused by Chol landing on top of May who was partially lying sideways on the ground. I doubt it was the collision itself (and even if it was, Chol did nothing wrong).

    • 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.
