    A very encouraging 4th quarter for Kalani, this should give him a lot of confidence going forward.

    Some nice taps in the ruck.

    Really solid mark and goal by Jeffo.

    He's had a great game

    Good to take the marks and kick the goals, but loved Kalani chatting to Lauri before a ball up and then tapping it straight down his throat. Kid's got tap skills

    Gotta think this will be a close one.

    Really disappointed with our hacking kicks out of defence last quarter.

    I reckon we're kicking to the scoring end this quarter and we need to be 3 goals up at 3 QTR time to hold this.

    Is there a a bit of a breeze to that end?

    Not even an ounce of breeze all night. Perfect conditions just cold. Great last quarter

    Another example tonight of the common occurence in football games where a team will jump their opponents in the first quarter, have the other team claw back the deficit then run out of steam in the last with the final margin similar to what it was at quarter time.

    Kalani showed enough to make me think he definitely has a future at AFL level. Choose wisely young grasshopper. Choose Melbourne!

    Glad I posted that I'd been underwhelmed previously when watching Kalani😊

    Fantastic to see that performance.

    The highlight for me was Verral coming of age in the ruck. He played a great game and has learnt from Max to pluck the tap and kick the ball. Kalani's last quarter was fantastic. 2 goals a few marks and some great taps. Don't show too much form, otherwise the other buzzards will put an early bid in on him.

    7 goals 2 to 2 goals 1 in the last quarter was super

    stats as follows:

    i mostly saw the second half but i thought el jefe looked like 'the man' as the target i50 while cross was superb at ground level i50

    laurie's last quarter was huge

    bonner stated in the post game interview that he is the manager of our nga, maybe thats why he didn't get picked up in the mid season draft and likes what he is doing now.

    Highlights for me were Kalani White, Jeffo & Verrall. Love seeing the big men play well and it gives us hope at AFL level post Gawn, and for marking forward inside F50.

    Jeffo played a very mature, contested game as the key focal point forward. His last few VFL matches have shown he can learn and grow.

    Is my vision bad or did Kalani tap one over his head to a team mate that didn’t break stride? He looked to really grow with confidence in the last quarter. For a skinny 17 year old ruck/forward, he looks likely.

    And Verrell looks to have come on in leaps and bounds when given primary ruck duty. Great ruck craft at times tonight.

    He did late in the game, a great blind tap to a team mate at the centre bounce

    • 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.
