The changes i would make for this week

In: White, Petterd

Out: PJ (inj), Bell

I think they will wait for round 22 to give Yze his farewell game in Melbourne on the 'G, White will play the season out now, and im not sure if they will give dutchy a farewell game. I would like to see Grimes get his chance but can't see it happening this year.

Thoughts?

 

In: White, Petterd, Yze.

Out: PJ, Bell, Bate.

Would like to see us attack the game. By the way, Im picking YZe on form.

Are CJ and Garland ready?

I read an article in which Monaghan (Football Operations Manager?) said that there wouldn't be many changes.

From memory, he suggested Garland and Dunn should be fit to play, while White was 50/50.

 

Winning form is good form they say..... PJ was scheduled for Operation this week.

My selections: -

OUT: PJ.

IN: Meesen

Are CJ and Garland ready?

CJ is out for the season.

May have played his last game for the club as I believe he'll be packaged in a possible Warnock trade.

I don't know why we'd give away CJ + something else for Warnock if we had the opportunity to get Warnock for 'free' (PSD) if Freo didn't want to play ball (ie. take Weetra ;)).

:huh: Haven't heard that one before.

Interesting, Western Australian? I don't rule that out as NOT happening... I just doubt it.

Pick any team that can't win (given current circumstances & injuries that shouldn't be too hard). I want the last game at the 'G against Richmond to be a live rubber, ie. we can go all out for a glorious win without jeopardising those two draft picks we've surely earned this year.

Just my prayer to see this season out :)

 

I'm guessing

IN: White

OUT: PJ

From what was said in the two Jeff White articles today, it looks like he'll play the last 2 games (or at least, he'll be fit enough to play them). No real need to drop anyone else I don't think.

In: White, Petterd, Yze.

Out: PJ, Bell, Bate.

Bate injured? Couldn't be out on form vs what Yze brings to the team.


Bate must be dropped! Cant keep him in if we a using the "picked on form" policy

he's just starting to show some form and you want to get rid of him, we don't have lose him so why do it

Bate must be dropped! Cant keep him in if we a using the "picked on form" policy

look l don't what game you were at last week but Bate hardly deserves to get dropped!! some of you blokes are hopeless and would drop everyone if you could. Watch out boys don't make ONE mistake otherwise you're gone :wacko:

Pick any team that can't win (given current circumstances & injuries that shouldn't be too hard).

So the same team that has played for most of the year then?!!!

Ok, six months ago maybe we could've talked about trading CJ to Freo, to give him a fresh start as much as anything else.

BUT, he's stepped up, is a real contributor and surely part of our youth program. Would be way down the list of priorities to move on.

And at the emotional level, with the idea of 'doing it for his own good' removed there's only the simple fact that he is the son of a Demon's champion who grew up as a Demon.

Anyway, back to next week's game.

Wonaeamirri is out of form and does not seem to be having much impact. As much as he's loved we must not forget he's a teenager and will have trouble sometimes with the week-in week-out wear and tear.

I can see Yze coming in, based on Sandy form.

Obviously PJ is out, with either White if available or Meesen... Meesen in... I'll be darned.

Possibly Garland in for Frawley.

A side note, has anyone else noticed that Cale Morton is a bit of a travel specialist?

Last week over WC was great, no doubt there, but...

Geelong at SS - 22 disposals, 2 goals

Adelaide at AAMI - 18 disposals, 3 goals

Fremantle at Subiaco - 20 Disposals, 2 goals

He didn't kick a goal at the 'G until round 17!

Good signs for saturday. C'mon Cale, get that Rising Star!

I think Petterd's a good chance. Did Yze miss for Sandy because he was the 'first' emergency, or did he have an injury/illness concern?

Possibly Garland in for Frawley.

Frawley doesn't deserve to be dropped IMO. I'd definitely want to bring Garland in, though.

Yze was listed as injured with a knee problem. If he's fit I'd bring him in for Wonna, we've all seen what he can do but he isn't impacting at all over the last month. Hope Petterd gets a go, and Garland should come in if fit. I'm not a Frawley fan at all yet, but he's shown enough to play out the year.

  • 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.
