I agree Mr lose, Ricky has dancing feet and I great to watch. Having said that I think he’s a work in progress and others are well ahead of him at this point. 
 

@Gator, was Spargo doing anything but running?  

No, just running.  Mainly with Reece Conca.

    Wrong thread. I assume this should be in the Lookalikes thread comparing these two with Mick Martyn and David Neitz (the post-retirement version)

    Not a bad call.

    Spargo is a NQR. He will struggle to get games from here on.

    Does anyone know who Cambell was competing against in the ruck battles? 

    How did they go? Were they able to give a genuine contest?

    Curious as to why you say this (honest respectful question), NQR for me means a temperament, skills or endeavour issue and I have never thought that about him. I think like many small forwards his moments are brief and errors magnified, but to say NQR am wondering if I missed something. Personally I hope he is one of many that keeps selection pressure up, and I always thought he was a thinking footballer. If others have gone past him I won't complain though.

    I always thought he lacked a bit of pace and depth in his kicking. I would personally say he has limitations rather than NQR.

    • 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.
