Fritsch - had more involvement 

May - reliable and impressive 

Pickett - exciting first half

Sparrow - had some moments 

Melksham - experience added dimension

    Question mark on May’s assessment. He wasn’t great and looks very stiff and sore. Very lucky to be playing on a player who was clearly injured (Waterman) who still ran him around and kicked a couple.

    Sparrow offers nothing.

    I agree; May was often a metre or two behind.

     You are harsh on Oliver. He combined with the others to keep Reid to minor impact.

    I want him to start running assertively with the ball when he gets it and put the defence on its heels.  I understand he is playing to instruction however too often he gets it and stops.  Its hard to offer damage when doing that constantly.

    Lever :Needs to contest marks, rather then talking about it.

    TMac : Thank heavens !!!

    Yes  (May) he was then he jumps up and takes a couple of impressive marks. With a pass to milkshake for a goal ( I think)

    thought Clayton played within himself and his ability. But we won by 54 points. Round 10 they beat us by 35 points.
     

    pretty good turnaround.  Go Dee’s

    joeboy - brevis  Sporting Globe

    Ed Langdon - mojo magic working 

    Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out?

    Steven May - keep Petty campaign 

    Tom McDonald - best tall defender

    Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward 

    Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up

    Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

    Think we need Petty at Casey to find some form, Disco down back and JEFFO to debut!

    Which forward are you dropping for Jeffo?

    Chandler, to Sub, Jeffo to debut. Chandler has not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough for a small forward!

    I thought Lever was pretty poor. He struggles big time when he’s one-on-one against a genuine tall.

    Mat is a metre or two behind every week these days.

    If he wasn't so good he'd be finished.

    I have to agree, I think Mat was more than a meter behind his man. He must of been in the stands. I did not see Mat all game. 
     

    Hands up all Demonlander’s named Mat who attended today. Get in front FFS 😳😳🤩🤩😆😆

     

    Oh, you need a referral to the Physio too 😬😬

    With respect mate, you’ve been a tad obsessed with this Jeffo talk of late Picket. The kids finally finding his feet & starting to play some nice consistent footy. Why the rush? & especially how the forward line seems to be functioning the past couple weeks.

    The only time is see Jeffo debuting is if & when we’re out of the finals race. & the longer he’s not in the one’s the better it would seem we’re going.

    All things going well, he gets to build his case over a strong pre-season with a chance to impress for an early debut in 25’

    Lever was absolutely terrible. I'm guessing he was directly responsible for about 8 shots on goal, mostly to Allen. He is tall, but he's not a genuine tall defender.

    Funk and Wagnall was I believe made popular by frequent references in Rowan and Martin's Laugh In

    Fair point but if Sparrow's career ends up being 50% that Melksham's I'll be rapt. I have my doubts.

    • 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.
