I really like Roo as a 2nd ruck. It's no conincidence we got flogged when he was out of the side.

Oliver having a blinder, zero possessions, given away 2 frees and a 70m penalty. 

Useless.

Petty doesn’t want to be there 

Certainly looks that way.

Bowey hasn't been the same since his injury.

If he isn’t up to it he should not be playing. Pure and simple

I may be wrong here but perhaps they’re talking about the principle? Particularly as sub. That is, if you’re good enough for the firsts, you can play a full game. OTOH, someone has to be sub.

I personally don’t really have a strong view on debutantes starting as sub - as long as they get a run in the game. 

The other thing with this is that I am pretty certain Goody or someone within the coaching group, or Richo has said publicly that they wouldn't play a first gamer as the sub, as it's a special occasion, they look after the family, fly those from interstate etc... 

PS,... Tholstrup looking lively

    Good start.  4 goals a quarter wins games 


    Finally a replay of Max being clobbered. 4 [censored] didn’t see it??? 
     

    But good attack chin and finish

    Dissapointing turnout from the fans.

    May has started better 

    Oliver more focused on fighting with phillips.  You're the better player. Use your skills


    Liking Tholstrup getting more of the ball. His belief seems to be rising.

    • 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.
