I think the way the game is heading with ball movement being more important than contested ball that we have a very good foursome and they complement each other really well.

Langford will be the main extractor but also has a really strong outside game (I like that they are settling him on the wing for now). Kolt will be the defensive power. Windsor the speed. Lindsay the skill.

I expect them all to head towards the centre once they get 3 preseasons and 70 games.

And team balance is a factor too, might need one of them off half back or wing and another forward. I hope we develop the versatility in these guys that our last core with Oliver, Viney, Harmes even Tracc (plays forward or mid but only in one style) have lacked.

    Windsor, McVee, Langford, Rivers, Pickett.

    Kolt hasn't shown anything to suggest he'd be up to it IMO.

    I can see why you say this VoR and I think he'll take longer to establish himself than the other names you've listed. I also think Kolt's destined to be more highly valued internally than externally. There's similarities to Neal-Bullen; leadership qualities, great attitude and willing and able to do the team acts that tend to go unrewarded and unnoticed (e.g. harassing, two way running).

    That Kolt was selected straight into the AFL after a long injury lay off speaks to how he's valued internally. Although he didn't get a lot of the ball he played with the intensity we've been lacking.

    Windsor - would love for him to remain on the wing. His two way running, and his pace are perfectly suited to this role.

    Lindsay - Salem role at half back. His kicking and decision making are excellent. It is just his light frame holding him back at the moment.

    Langford - Inside mid with license to spread forward. Potential star this fella.

    Kolt - half forward/midfield like Petracca. Loves a goal, looks natural inside F50, but can have impact with strength and power at stoppages.

    McVee - classy inside and outside midfielder.

    I thought Kolt was great yesterday

    Me to, love his strength, aggression and team play. I hadn’t linked the two but the Kolt is similar to ANB just a bit bigger and more skilled.

    or play extended minutes forward (Trac)

    I can't wait to see more of this. One of the most exciting elements of his under 18s stuff was his ability to take a big contested mark up forward.

    • 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.
