    Pretty good this week joeboy.  I think you're a little harsh on Jetta, only because I think him being unsighted is a good thing.  It means he's playing his role down back and doing it with minimal fuss.

    Otherwise it's pretty much spot on from the snippets and highlights I've seen and read.

    Frost still turns it over. He’s looking pretty good but next week will tell a clearer tale

    Didn’t see anything get past OMac so not sure what you’re saying there

    Please back this up with a Qtr and approx times. I did break the seal but I only saw the JL momentum killer that ended in a Dogs goal.

    Omac- Strong and Dependable

    Punched well, bodied well, I thought he played well. 

     

    Frost - Disposal lets down

    Used his pace well and strong in the air but very sloppy by foot.  Hope he improves in this area because I'm a fan.

    I agree.  Frost does turn it over.  But I am comforted by the fact the Frost can get back to the goal line to pressure a certain goal.  He will improve with continuity and faith.  More important than that is Frost is essential to our team that presses, yet needs to get back to goal when the opposition cut through.

    That is Frost.

    Maybe TELL HIM to kick it to them ( opposition ) ;)

    That's a fresh interpretation of the word surpassed I'm assuming?  ?

    Lewis - stop falling over

  • Quote

    Bernie has been a great contributor during tough times, but he’s rapidly declining now. Lack of an obvious replacement at Casey is his best hope for continuing this season. What’s his contract situation next year?

  • Quote

    I have not been a great fan of Frosty, but have never ever doubted his efforts. He has been better since returning because he provides abig strong bloke ib defence. However his disposal does leave a little bit of improvement. Maybe we learn to use his good points and cover for any deficiencies

    Take exception to the above. Applaud your 3 word analysis with the rest who aren’t quoted. ??

     

    Mine on these:-

    Jones - perhaps his worst

    Vince - kicking was inefficient

    Frost - doesn’t think ahead

    Hibberd - Few deplorable/costly decisions 

    JKH - One good tackle. (Fullstop!)

    Oscar - Only one error

    • 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.
