Lot of luv for Clarry’s game here. I thought it was a huge improvement from him. But if I’m positioned to be a tagger, but my “tagee” gets 30 possessions (7 more than me) and only one less clearance than me, have I really done a good job?

2 Trac - leading possession getter for the game but appears so low in the votes? Maybe we expect too much of Trac, but he was great again.

Not for me my good man, I can't speak for other voters but I thought he was sensational.

7 x I50s

8 x Score involvements

9 x clearances (the game high) and 7 of them from the middle

His best game since KB for mine, he also attended 29 centre bounces and played extensively through the midfield so that was extremely encouraging. Had he kicked that goal at the end he would have banked a Brownlow vote for sure.

Definitely his best game since return.

And the thing is, this is what should have been expected from him in the first place - that after such a significant set of injuries, it was always going to take time for him to find his feet, form and trust his body. I dare say he is still near the start of that joruney.

He's only going to get better.

Probably not a true tag, as the stats show. And that is also likely because Clarry was given the freedom to punish the other way, too, and still play his own brand - 7 clearances, 5 score involvements and 1 goal. They are not tagging stats, but I would say his impact on Neale curtailed his influence, not necessarily his ability to get the ball (which as a dual brownlow medallist, is going to be a given). Neale was certainly around, and got the ball, but did not have his normal impact on the game, which goes a long way for Brisbane wins. And that's thanks to our boy, Claz.

But you're right, not a true tag haha

  • 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.
