    Are we sure about that ‘safe’ for Riv? 😂 Love him but he had one of of his classic brain farts

    And that is Spargo. Has never got it a lot, but when he is around the ball, good things generally happen. Underrated on here imo.

    Bit rough on Thulstrup , 14 possies, 4 tackles and 5 score involvements is pretty good for a small fwd. 0.3 hurts but still 3 shots on goal!

    Still learning his craft. Showed a fair bit of promise for me. Some bad fumbles but again still growing.

    Spargo works blo#dy hard.

    Has missed a lot of footy.

    With kozzie in the middle I would like to see Spargo up fwd a lot more.

    Tough on Spargo. But most fairly accurate.

    Thanks JB.

    Tholstrup has a 12 week injury, no pre season, and then thrown straight into thr deep end, no VFL, he’ll be fine !

    Correct

    And to expect much more than 14 possessions from a 19yo player who is playing a small forwards role is totally unrealistic

    Kolt needs to convert his opportunities but he's not alone in that dept. (from an overall perspective)

    The MC would be very happy with his development but that might mean that he could play some games at Casey as part of that development

    At a lower level, he'd be better suited as a frontline midfielder in order to develop his overall game

    Tholstrop reminds me of a Chandler 2.0. A little rough in the early stages and was up and down both in form and the main team. Another pre-season and consistent game time has allowed him to flourish. This forum lacks patience with the young kids.

    Spargo. In 108 minutes of footy… 5 kicks 9 handballs 86 metres gained, pressure rating Low, 1 tackle (when Hunt rang into him). 1 goal from that tackle !! Two missed tackles. Just barely barely a game. Lucky he got that goal in the last quarter. We need much much more from him!!!

    Agree.

    I underrate him and then I see him setting up scoring chances.

    He is one of those players like ANB, who are not always noticed by fans, but are valued inside their club.

    Can have quiet games, like many hff’s.

    • 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.
