    Sparrow - Twenty Pressure Acts

    The highest were ANB and Chandler with 22 (not exactly ā€œlimited involvementā€), but Sparrow is consistently high in this stat. I think Goodwin has him playing a pretty unglamorous role this year, and Iā€™m sure the coaches arenā€™t as down on him as a few posters have been lately.Ā 

    Oh and also worth mentioning, the other player in the top four for pressure acts was Harrison Petty, also with 20.Ā

    Salem - contest work underrated

    Put his body on the line repeatedly tonight.

    Yes he didnā€™t star but did what was needed. Ā Improvement still to be seen and he has a key role over the next 6 games.Ā

    They should give him a game next week, maybe rest Moniz-Wakefled.

    Why in the world would AMW need a ā€œrestā€? Ā He ainā€™t Joe Biden šŸ˜“

    Thanks Mel. Ā These pressure acts are mostly unseen by the fans at the ground - many of whom still want ā€œkick it longā€ - but are incredibly important in the structure of the team.

    Looking forward to binmanā€™s stats analysis tonight.Ā

    Surprised when he was ā€˜restedā€™ during the final qt Saturday night. Certainly was fully invested in the team performance prior to that. May not have the finesse of Salem or Bowey but his combative, take no prisoners attitude has been noticed. Mentioned in dispatches by the Channel 7 commentary and didnā€™t take a backward step in the contretemps V Jake Stringer.

    Good assessment JB.

    I thought Oliver was very quiet in the first half and on the bench longer than he should have been.

    But he can alive as Oliver of old in the second and it was heart warming tuff.

    He Langers, Melksham and Nibbler were back to their sublime best.

    Rivers and kozzie in the guts too were fantastic.

    I've argued all year our midfield has been down on impact this year but it seems to have turned the corner.

    Despite having no ruck we won the clearances in the wet when we have lost a lot of games on these conditions.

    As mentioned numerous times Melksham in or fwd line makes it go from average to dynamic.

    He is a super hard matchup for others and we now have an easy 100 point kickingĀ  fwd line.

    Apart from his sliding smart goal to a vacant goal square, his kick to Turner was pinpoint accurate such that Disco didn't have to break stride.

    Can't wait until Max is back and Jvr gets to play fwd with the others and not so much ruck work.

    As good as Kozzie is in the middle I'd like him fwd as much as we can spare him.

    • 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 ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ 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.
