KC from Casey

Dees are dominating but not on the scoreboard.

Lever looks to be playing well.

Howes is going well also.

JVR has played well but has missed two long shots and is a very good VFL forward. (But I maintain he will be better as a defender in the AFL.)

Jefferson has one goal (after nearly dropping the uncontested mark) and missed a earlier set shot and another one kicked into the man on the mark. He is a dopey footballer.

Tholstrup just had his first kick and has been invisible.

Casey 32
Southport 27

    Mitch Hardie old fashioned quality disposal. Ollie Sestan getting leather poisoning. Jed Adams good judgement of the ball in flight.

    That play made him very visible not a hair is out of place

    Adams and Kentfield will both be good AFL level defenders with time.

    Sestan surely must get a look in at AFL level at a point to see how he translates up a level.

    JVR doing more to get on the move and play in front and is marking well with softer hands.

    Howes is doing what he always does at this level and dominating but he is just one of those tweeners where it doesn’t quite translate at the top.

    all of our defenders look better when lever is on the ground with them

    he's just such a 'presence' in the defensive set up

    Sestan, Howes and Adams all having good games. With Jake due to go off after half a game. Will watch Second half efforts with interest.

    I think Blake has been pretty unlucky at the top level this year. He hasn't struggled IMV, but he hasn't had huge impact and there are other defenders ahead him.

    I just wonder if they need to try him on the wing or at half forward where he played his junior footy.

    I reckon we're gonna be alright for tall defenders, which will enable us to play Turner and probably Petty forward long term.

    Is it just my dodgy internet or is anyone else having issues with the broadcast?

    Just the usual Smithy’s quality blurry occasionally but comes back into focus. Camera work is generally acceptable though.

    100 odd AFL fantasy points at half time is not too shabby.

    Umpiring is reliably inconsistent back to the AFL amateur standard.

    I’m sorry but for the love of god can someone tell Van Rooyan to use 2 hands to mark a football. Whoever is coaching him has what should be a very simple issue to solve - use 2 f$&ing hands.

    It’s driving me insane watching this Casey game with him trying to do the same one handed mark attempt and dropping it again and again…

    • 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.
