Errrr, bump.

Have opinions changed from people after the carnival?

Jarka, can you now see that Rich is far less risky than Naitanui?

You missed my point. Rich is still a risk, every player drafted is, but my other main issue was not making a decision too early. I've always said that it's best to wait untill the end of the carnival and season was over before deciding.

I haven't seen all the games yet and I still want to see how they play for the rest of the season before deciding

    Nicholas Naitanui shows clubs he's a true thoroughbread

    "It would be good to stay home," Naitanui said. "I will probably get homesick if I go somewhere else.

    "But, then again, I don't mind where I go because to get the opportunity to play at an AFL club is my main dream."

    The fact that being homesick was even brought up makes me a little concerned.

    Interesting comment by ex-filth captain Nathan Buckley over the weekend.

    By his reckoning he would place NikNat around # 5 in the draft.

    NikNat paddy-whack give a dog a bone!

    Interesting comments by Dennis the menace on the telly too. He seems to have the Vibe clubs arent exactly lining up for him.. Im not sure that its Naita not being good..as much as it is Rich, Watts and a handful of others are coming on quicker....all things are relative arent they ..

    Yeah definately interesting listening yesterday. Ox seemed convinced West Coast would jump on him, but there certainly have been a lot of doubts raised about how much of that potential will be realised. Brucey seemed to echo Cometti's thoughts that teams were hoping that someone else would take the risk first. Watt's and Rich are starting from a good football base (awareness-wise) and Nick Nat has been playing catch right from the start. The big question is will he catch up to the rest, and if he does, wil he surpass them. High risk, high reward? I'm still leaning towards Watt's.

    Having seen the game, and taped it, I plan to watch it again by the way, Naitanui does look a top 5 pick. Geez he can jump! He is a goer, and plenty of upside in him. The game didn't allow Watts to have a great game. But that's how WA planned it anyway. But what Watts did, he did do well. Mitch Banner looked good. Rich was lively, but not prominent, but credit must be given to his opponent...

    Look, this year's draft has great depth. The top 8 are all good.

    NikNat is a mad Filth supporter !!!

    I'm sure if there was a chance he could play for the Filth he would take back his homesick comments....... :rolleyes:

    • 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.
