I'm quite an old fellow (52) and I'm certainly a pathetic tragic (my wife tells me this constantly). I know that I'm surrounded by other pathetic tragics I on this site so I'm among friends. But I've never been so excited about the prospects of the club as I am now.

I don't know if its the threat of extinction, the prospect of a backs to the wall fight for survival, the cleanout of the place, the arrival of Jimmy, the exciting crop of recruits including the young Messiah, the influx of indigenous players, the prospect of an 193cm quick forward with huge mits from the NT, or a combination of all of the aforementioned. I'm telling you, my blood is pumping and I am AROUSED!!!!

We have a potentially wonderful mix of height, speed, skill, grunt and smarts. They will mature as a group in about three years. Its a very exciting era to witness. Yeah Baby Yeah!!

    I'm of similare vintage btdemon but your "arousal" should be kept in hand.

    We have been excited before, we have been the Jan Feb stars on the track before.

    We will turn flamboyant footballers with a natural instinct for the game into meaningless running robots who seek positions where neither the ball or an opponent exists

    The only thing that stops us year after year is the rubbish we have to beat.

    At the start of every seson I pick us to win the flag. I'm gettin [censored] tired.

    Well I am 23 and a pathetic tragic, but I feel the same.

    With 34 players 25 or younger, we have set ourselves for a tilt...if we're patient.

    And with 22 players on our senior list 21 or younger at the start of next season we have to be very patient...

    Still, there is excitement in the development; 2008 had Buckley, Garland, Martin, Warnock, and Wonna.

    Who will step up in 2009?

    I look forward to finding out.

    2009 - Grimes, Pettard, Spencer, Martin - These are the ones I'm looking forward to watch. ignore the high profile recruits and take enjoyment out of some of the others developing.

    I don't like naming 1st year players but for me spencer is shaping up as one of the most important young players on the list.

    Does anyone have any odd's for the Dee's making the 8?

    Whilst I'm probably just as excited with the turnover of our list, I also think you need to keep your "arousal" in check. Smaller portions of Viagra recommended.

    Arousal isn't just sexual you know. Just a general state of exitement.

    Haha........yeah i know....I was being a smarta%$#!!! Don't get too excited is what I meant. Keep a lid on it. :lol:

    I too am excited about our future. But then again, I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. These players we've drafted will take a few years to develop into AFL players. But I can see a core group of exciting young talent that will take the first step towards success in 2009.

    • 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.
