    Gee. Has his limitations, but thought he was one of the Weagles better performers in the second half of the season. Bit rough on him.

    Just goes to show that winning a flag doesn't necessarily make you an elite player. Armstrong was one of a few plodders on the WCE list found out this year once the cream had been scooped off the top.

    Armstrong performed admirably against us a couple of weeks back. Would of thought it would be enough to earn him another year but I guess WCE are going with a youth policy.

    I'm glad we got rid of Armstrong when we did. Never had it in him to be anything more than a decent player.

    Did anyone else see the interview with that Dalziell bloke crediting Woewodin with helping him get to AFL?

    No but they both played for East Fremantle, Right?

    Whats this got to do with Steven Armstrongs delisting? :lol:

    Unlucky given his second half of the season. He was one of their best.

    Yeah, I would have thought there were worse players on their list than Armstrong. Oh well. At least he has a premiership medallion.

    Lets get him !!!

    Are you serious?? With Maric, Wonaeamirri with a season under their belt. Armstrong has been around 7 years. He is not going to improve...

    List clogger.

    He's kidding.

    He forgot to say that we would get back Shannon Motlop at the same time and give MFC real premiership experience in 2009. :rolleyes:

    he is still only 24 and has played decent footy in the second half of the season...

    good luck to him finding a new club... always had a soft spot for him at melbourne just never delivered

    I guess I know nothing at all about football, cause I thought he was doing ok over there.

    Maybe Suzanna, he doesn't tell lies. That would put him diametrically opposed to the coach. Please don't tell Demonlander 'swampfox' I said that.

    I don't know - Shane Wakelin was de-listed from St Kilda (dead last) in 2000 and drafted by Collingwood (2nd last) in the National Draft at the end of that year.

    Would be pretty harsh (and unfair imo) to say he hasn't been a very good player over the last 8 years.

    Yeah, and lets get Godfrey, Ward and Bizzel back too!

    Spot on Nasher. Which is why it annoys the crap out of me when posters make statements like "He'll never be a premiership player" or "How many Melbourne players would get a game at so and so?". It's the elite players that make premiership teams, and any player is capable of playing in one if they can play a role in support of the champions.

    • 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.
