Mostly agree but thought Riv was pretty good. 23 with 8 contested at 74% and 5 clearances. Max was fantastic but as you say, not quite fantastic enough. Too much left to too few.

Thought Lindsay was very good. Hawks wings aren’t mugs and he held his own and looked every bit the player I was hoping for. Won some very creative possessions.

Turner went forward and the flood gates opened for them. I like what he does up forward but until we have lever back we need him in defence.

Another great game by Gawn. Cherishing every memorable performance I get to witness now.

Last quarters against good oppo. -

Our bloody Kryptonite

Oliver - salary dump incoming

Windsor - ceiling rapidly lowering

JVR - not the answer

Jefferson - words not required

Tholstrup - draft position unwarranted

Langford - enhancing his reputation

Lindsay - unassuming yet reliable

Windsor was fantastic today

He killed Ginnivan and had a lot of the footy.


Fritch Never select again
Play at Casey

JVR - great backup ruck

JVR - Not a forward

JVR - only hope backline

Langford - star in making

X - incredibly clever player

Bowey - obvious connection solution

Kozzie - keep all costs

Yeah, he looks done as a player.

Lindsay had IMO the best individual effort of the season for us and it led to a goal, so I definitely noticed him.

That kid is all class. Footy IQ off the charts, so much time and space with ball in hand and super competitive for a slight player.

To think he missed a big chunk of his first pre season with a PCL injury and is able to play full games on the wing, is pretty phenomenal.

He will be a star. It was written all over him from his very first game.

Windsor - limited preseason base

He'll be ok but was gassed at the end and at his age missing key parts of preseason is going to do that to you.

Many great pretenders

JVR - use two arms!

My father always said to me as we watched the Demons from the wing on the MCG in the sixties

That Brian Dixon is never beaten one on one and is a great mark for his size

Xavier is the closest I’ve seen since those days

Great observation - has long arms like BD, though XL is a better kick and one cannot even try to compare athleticism from those days.

  • 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.
