Gawn - started with him

Viney - finally came good

Rivers - some valuable interceptions

Bowey - career best performance

Petracca - provided great intensity

Salem - regularly stifled momentum

McDonald - rose to occasion

Oliver - disposals still problematic

Langdon - leadership and determination

Petty - nailed his chances

Spargo - some important touches

Sparrow - strong over ball

Howes - played important part

Langford - slowish but clever

Lindsay - same as Langford

Chandler - showed some grunt

Melksham - was rarely noticed

Windsor - showed some class

Tholstrup - useful first half

Fullarton - useful second ruck

Turner - impressive until injured

Sharp - had little involvement

Pickett - the magic man

    Thorstrup. Tired second half

    Langford Next big thing

    Agree on Salem. Cost us two goals against and then without pressure hit their player between two of ours.

    I’d drop him for McVee.

    I'd swap Sparrow and Melksham. Langford and Lindsay both deserve more credit.

    I can’t see why people label Langford slow, he’s quick to think, quick to react, quick to pick the right option, quick to get running to the right position, I don’t get it.

    Some of the best footballers I've seen were supposedly "slowish". Williams (Greg), Robert Harvey, Paul Kelly.

    Clarry had a few howlers today but he did a lot of grunt work, was pretty happy with him.

    Yes at least 3 absolute howlers. Two cost us goals. His endeavour was unquestionable, and he gave his all, but there’s no denying that his execution was often poor.

    Yeah but..... given what he has achieved for the club and himself and to bounce back from personal adversity, and recreate himself yep, at least he has done that! He may never be as good as he was but sheeiet he still is a damn fine player, a better clubperson, and I thought his last quarter was phenomenal, won Ultra hard ball, took a few massive hits and kept going. LOVE THE MAN!

    Clayton was massive in that last quarter he sure took some knocks and never faulted.

    Played his best game for the year. That's the minimum we should expect from him not the [censored] he's dished up this year. We are a lot better team when he's playing like that.

    • 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.
