Your grandstanding on Nathan Carroll could be interpreted as divisive. Jim also praised him for his efforts in the annual report. If I can borrow a quote – ‘The Club is proud of your petty vindictiveness.’ Leave Carroll alone Rhino, and other players you may have mocked in the past that are no longer with us, or worse still, are still with us. Don’t get too tied up in the noble cause.

Another divisive comment made by you relates to James McDonald (in which I stood up for him getting another contract in 2009). I’m sure you recall your thoughts on him late in the 2008 season. If rumours are correct he will be the 5th Captain of the Club since the early 80’s. Talk about being divisive.

I’m finished now, I can no longer waste time with the Tim Lane of Demonland.

    Surely comparisons must be made between the old and the new, for better or worse. The problem, I think in this case, is that this is for the better. By offering opinions on previous players/administrators is not being divisive it is being opionated. Perhaps I’m on the wrong board.

    Agree. Perhaps that is the case.

    Referring to them as BS artists is a cheap shot and abusive and is not a part of doing any valid comparision.

    Nice try. But it was not. My comments were in line with the the Club's assessment and treatment of the player.

    Rather than borrow the quote apply it to yourself and see where it sticks when you refer to a previous Club President as a BS artist.

    You're being melodramatic now dear.

    I said he struggled as a footballer in 2008 and thought he was finished as a footballer. Had it not been for the fact MFC are bereft of experience and midfield grunt he has got another year. I think he will struggle..earnestly..this year. But he is not a BS artist.

    I’m finished now.....

    Go and have a lie down it must have taken alot out of you.

    • 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.
