Langdon - too many turnovers

Viney - take first options

May - fought the fight

Rivers - a better performance

Salem - had little influence

Turner - a solid game

Oliver - disposals were amateurish

Langford - still finding place

Chandler - another uninfluential performance

vanRooyen - better but limited

Bowey - provided customary drive

Melksham - clever and important

McVee - another loose game

Lindsay - reliable and clever

Sparrow - had no purpose

    Please don't say there is no one else by why do we play the last 4 they are not senior talents. Fritz was but a shadow now.

    Jefferson will never be ready. Struggles most weeks at Casey. Why do we keep playing Lever over Tmac?

    Two seperate issues.

    Jeffo needs to be played to give him a chance. I don't hold high hopes but he could come on with a bit of confidence.

    Lever is cooked. He needs to be played to try and get trade value for him. I great part of our premiership side but he has been found out and doesn't have enough strings up his bow. Tmac isn't the answer.

    We are talking short term if we want to wins any games for the rest of 2025 we need Tmac.

    No point talking short term. We have nothing left on 2025 besides making sure Essendon don't get a better draft pick

    I have to admit, May's positioning is still first class. If only he still had his 2021 level fitness.

    If he mellows out after retirement I reckon he'd make an outstanding defensive coach.

    Lever is 'cooked'? [censored]. (Can we put a moratorium on that stupid expression?) Played pretty well today. Had injury interruptions,and he' old. He'd be snapped up immediately by another team.

    Couldn't agree more. I've been thinking about him as a coach for a while. I love it he's so passionate.

    Get ur facts right old dee, dominated at Casey , yet finding transition tough at elite level. Needs another pre season then and only then at this same stage in 2026 will judgements be made!

    Was about to say he is not 100%. Ankle surgery in April and 8 weeks off then rushed back in after 1 VFL game.

    Melksham - five years younger

    Kozzie - no one like

    Lever - why play injured?

    McVee - night and day

    Sparrow - no real role

    Kolten - was he playing?

    Goodwin - sound bite pressors.

    He is too slow to chase and he can't play one on one with an opponent.

    He was a weapon whe he used to play loose and take intercept marks but nobody lets him do that anymore.

    He's not a great kick like May, Bowey or Mcphee. How often do you seem him kick out from full back? Never. How often does it get kicked out to him? Never. There is a reason for that

    He is currently very banged up. I'm hoping the speed is not permanent. Would never trade Lever in a million years.

    Heart and soul and leadership. Potential for coaching.

    Your track record regarding the readiness of Jeffo has not been great.

    Thanks all the same Picket but I think I’ll pass on this latest forecast.

    Correct, I thought at the time it looked too early. Tmac was playing well at the time.

    I think dominated is a bit high pf. He had a few good games. In his 3rd year he shows nothing at senior level.

    • 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.
