Time to play the young bloods?

Judd = 23

Nick Stevens = 29/30 and overweight

the rest of Carlton's onballers are as young, if not younger than Melbourne's (ie Bryce Gibbs, Marc Murphy etc)

Fat Nick took three bounces down the members wing, ran hard, looked around at least four times and kicked to a target. Goal at the Punt road end.

Credit where credit's due. The guy's a very good footballer and he was instrumental in a lot of centre clearances.

When we have an overweight midfielder with the same skills I'll be celebrating.

    Frawley did some nice things and HE CAN HIT A TARGET OMG!

    I felt so sorry for him when he outplayed Fevola only for Fevola to kick a miracle goal off the ground. Poor kid.

    He has to stay in the side without a doubt. Reminds me a bit of Rivers with some of his spoils.

    I was actually wrapt when he was given a run on Fev late in the game. As much as a I hate Fev (totally unlikeable human being IMO) I can not fault the example he set today for second efforts and backing himself (i.e. makes his own luck).

    And how well were they going before Judd came along to take the heat away from them?

    At least they have Stevens and Judd in there helping them along, as well as Scottland.

    Besides, Murphy and Gibbs hardly play at the bounce for the whole match and they are not the main ball winners.

    You're arguing in Jaded's favour there, not against her. Judd and Stevens are their #1 and #2. The likes of Gibbs, Murphy et al get the luxury of playing "secondary" roles. It allows them to learn their craft and play good footy (very good in the case of Murphy, the guy is an absolute gun) without being 100% in the cauldron. McLean and Jones are our #1 and #2. If they have poor games, then we lose in the midfield. It's a lot of pressure on two young blokes and IMO they do a good job under the circumstances.

    mclean outplayed judd today

    Sorry, no he didnt, he played well, and had more touches, but sorry to say Judd was far more dangerous..

    Considering McLean was playing as an offensive opponent to Judd (i.e. going head to head as opposed to tagging) I thought he was pretty good. He was easily our best player in the middle, and at least made Judd work for a lot of his possessions, particularly in traffic where Judd excels. Offensively he was not as good as Judd, but that's because he isn't as good a player as Judd.

    Saying he "destroyed" Judd is absolute rubbish, but so too are the claims that he had a poor game just because Judd had a good one.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
