Here's a few...

- Our win against Port in South Australia early in the year for Viney's 200th! My first foray into SA to watch us play was a good one!

- Caleb Windsor immediately looking at home on the Robbie Flower wing at the MCG

- Ed Langdon returning to 2021/early 2022 form late in the second half of the year.

- Our thrilling win against Geelong and Bayley Fritsch's potential GOTY match sealer.

- Disco Turner showing promise as a third tall in the forward line.

- JVR's first half against the Eagles at the G. Overall, another great development season for Roo.

- Max Gawn with another AA quality year. Should be named on the bench at a minimum if not ruck

- Trent Rivers in the midfield.

- Kynan Brown's match winning tackle against the Roos on debut.

- Jake Melksham's return from an ACL.

    One positive is that we all have each other...

    Or is that a negative?

    • 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.
