Not De Boer. PLEASE not De Boer.

The guy is a battler, not a talent. He isnt quick, his disposal is poor. He is exactly like Jones. We dont need another slow-ish mid with questionable disposal. We need some outside pace with good kicking skills.

Pick up Blease or Zaharakis.

I think the draft camp will determine Swifts fate. If he manages to test well, then he wont be around for 17 onwards. If he doesnt, then he will be, but you'd have to worry <_< Wouldnt mind taking him though as he is a super talent and was absolutely murdering it before the knee went.

    I agree with this summary of De Boer. There are others that are better and quicker.

    Pick up Blease or Zaharakis.

    I'd be over the moon with getting both. But that would be highly unlikely to nab both in the draft. However, give me one of these and I'll be a very happy camper.

    Mitch Bannar would be a nice pickup

    Good goal sense, alot like Maric

    would be handy, Blease and him or zaharakis and him or all 3. or one.

    where is bannar meant to go in draft does anyone know?

    and also- angus lapin for a smoky with one of our later picks. watched all his games for mgs this yr and he had a ripper year, absolute class when it comes to skills. freakish pair or hands. lanky but good frame and moves well.

    Maric is classier than Banner. He doesn't OOze class, but he finds the pill in truck loads.

    My source says about Banner that he was by far the best player at the Jets this season. In relation to the draft : - Where or when he goes -its open slather. Could go anywhere from 15-50 basically on a needs basis. Has played really well of late at Jets. Is considered lazy on the track. If he worked harder he could be a pretty handy type I'm told. He can find the pill plenty but his disposal lets him down. He's not classy, he's a "blue collar worker". If a team is after an in and under type, he's definitely an option.

    In summary of Banner: He's your Matty Priddis type if you ask me.

    yeh his last 2 weeks for the jets have seen him get 45 possesions in one game and 25 possessions and 4 goals in another. i do like the look of him. tough as nails.

    • 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.
