Why play a couple of kids for JUST ONE GAME. And don't trot out the 'experience' line because one game in a dead rubber match in the last round of the season, isn't experience. Why not just wrap them in cotton over summer and unleash them next season, Round 1?

If you cannot see the importance of giving the young boy Grimes a game today, then you don't have much of an idea about football IMHO....

Grimes has busted his gut all season, to come back from injury and climb his way to the seniors at Sandy.... He has obviously got the talent and is hungry for the ball, not to mention leadership qualities.... The club benefits from playing him against the Tigers, in that they see how he handles the ferocity and pace of an AFL match.... And Grimes himself will get a massive boost from playing on the MCG before he puts his body through a FULL pre-season! He will learn more about what is needed to perform on the big stage and he will gain a number of ideas on what he needs to concentrate on over the off-season!

Please, if people cannot see this, then they really need a good hard look at themselves! Have trust in Bailey and Co.

This season we may finish bottom..... But this season has gone a long way to shaping the next 5-10 seasons..... More than some people realise I think! ;)

    • 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.
