    Tholstrup - his best game

    Very tough on Billings - 21 disposals going at 90% is a very good game.

    Good to see him back.

    Tough readjustment last week but turned up today.

    Well done.

    Tholstrup - not there yet (his decision making and reaction time isn't fast enough yet)

    Disco - no obvious weakness

    Kozzie - shouldn't have played

    Billings - experienced shouldn't fumble

    Viney - legend of club

    kozy puts in some average onesĀ  Ā hopefully a big one next weekĀ  How good to beat the filth

    By now Goodwin should now that if Kozzy is quiet in the first half he must start in the midfield ASAP, touching the leather invigorates Kozzy.

    Tholstrup - robbed of goal.

    Can we get rid of that pathetic arc?

    Once again it robs us of a certain goal.

    I would say Tholstrup - learning pretty fast

    For once it didn't cost us a game though. Ā  Ā  Ā I am sure there are stats somewhere that show how many calls have gone for and against certain teams. Ā  Cost us the final v Carlton and other games I cannot specify.

    That bloody arc has cost us games. I hate it. Donā€™t care if an umpire makes a bad decision, part of the game.

    On this occasion though I think it was the goal umpire that stole it from him.

    Goal umpire called it a point, so without the arc it would still have been a point.

    If Kolt can fix up his kicking, heā€™ll become our best young player very quickly. Runs to the right spots, has pace and loves the contest.

    • 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.
