Just now, whatwhat say what said:

he doesn't provide the defensive pressure

laurie will either make it as a mid at afl level or he'll have a long vfl career a la mitch white

Have to disagree re defensive pressure.

He's had 7 tackles in a half so far and had a good 1minute late in that quarter where he had 5 or 6 repeat efforts scrapping at the lose ball to cause an opposition turnover. His game against the pies he had the most pressure acts of anyone on the ground despite only playing 65% game time.

Nothing at all weird DistrAction.  Par for the course.

Lackadaisical surely??

Yes lol


McAdam kicks his second! 

Casey up by 6 points at the start of the third.

 

Blake Howes has been solid

Really hard to read what might be AFL-relative footy in this wet slog.

Jefferson a standout for the way he is presenting and looks a dominant point in the forward line.

I feel sorry for Laurie - far too good for VFL but can't quite produce it at AFL level (going in and out of the team isn't helping).

Sestan and McAdam playing like average VFL players.

I wish Mitch White was 22-23 yo. I would roomie list him in a heart bit.

Casey defensive and effort is outstanding.

Composure inside F50 an issue (sounds familiar).

Playing well but not capitalising.

Kynan Brown and Blake Howes getting amongst it.

Howes looks classy. Hopeful future. McAdam staking a claim. Not Jefferson's conditions but still competitive.  Laurie nearly double figure tackles.

2 selfish incidents from McAdam.


Fullarton and Howes looking very good this quarter.

Yep, and he was similar for the past two weeks at Casey 

Wheres Jeffo??

Howes is dominating this 3rd quarter. Very steady influence. Unlucky to have that beautiful goal cancelled by a free against McAdam. Laurie our next best.

McAdam has played his role well but we can’t afford that ill-discipline at AFL level. Wouldn’t mind seeing him as sub soon.

Impressed with Jefferson getting in the right spots and using the ball well.

Brown has had some really impressive moments and also some really bad.

Hunter and Billing’s have been deplorable and so hard to watch. Almost as bad as the umpiring.

We should be way further in front but very wasteful in front of goal.


I know it's wet, but to be 10 points up with 10 more scoring shots is criminal. Surely Choco moves on at the end of the year

Time and time again we have free targets inside 50 but players electing to have a ping from difficult angles. Frustrating

 

We are slaughtering the Bullants, only to play country style footy inside F50. Very frustrating.

he has a lot of tackles as he's second man in at contests

chandler's frontal pressure is much better

  • 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.
