Ok I have a draft proposal and I know it may sound stupid.

In "real" terms I propose we do nothing.

Keep picks 1, 17, 19 & 35

Anything else is minor trading IMHO

a/ Robert Warnock - we cant out bid Vizy industries lets move on.

b/ Brett Prismal - only if the price is right, cheap & I mean cheap.

Lets only target players that are 110% committed to playing for us, rain hail or shine.

Lets not target players just because they are "on the table".

We are a club that should offer "opportunities" and be prepared to respect our list.

Just a thought.

    Would you care to explain your last sentence? What "opportunities" do you have in mind?

    Sometimes its not all about the football ability. First we must seek to build a culture. We must seek players who are willing to be part of that culture. I would rather give a young kid a crack at AFL football than chase "re-cycled players" unless that re-cycled player is exclusively committed to us.

    Sometimes we can get carried away with making change for change sake, I just get the feeling this is not the year.

    Passion is very important on match days. However, lets not let it get in the way of clear thinking on non-match days.

    I like what you're saying.. i'd prefer to get players from other clubs in a few years when we are the 'up & coming club' that is seen as a desirable destination, rather than try our guts out now and get the scraps that can't get to their destination of choice.

    Its going to take plenty of time to rebuild, lets do it right

    • 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.
