I've kept an eye on him in his first few games with the Blues, and hardly anything to write home about.

Is doing no more or less for them that he did for us when he got a chance............but he's only played two preseason games for them.

Some of their posters are right on the money.............when a few of their better running defenders come back like Scotland, and Walker, he may find it a bit harder to get a game.

Good luck to him though................he left for his own reasons, and I wish him all the best.

    I couldn't give a rats about CJ, i'm not massively bitter about the way he left. There was a better opportunity for him at Carlton and i don't think many at the Dees rated him, personally i didn't.

    Certainly hope that his pockets are loaded.

    Unfortunately for us, I think diamond Jo nearly went broke.

    In the North Melbourne match, did a few good things, kicked a nice goal, and then turned a simple ball over for a goal, and let a 5 year old girl run around him and kick a goal without offering more than a whimper.

    Hope he proves e wrong, but I don't think he has what t takes when the going gets tough

    will be lucky to play 10games a year without injuries to other players. If carlton fans rate CJ then that sums them up!

    Yes - fancy being optomistic or supportive of a new player.......

    What they're saying about CJ is less optimistic than some of the stuff I read about Meesen a few years back. By the way, how's Meesen going? How many games has he played for us? Or for the Crows, for that matter?

    i saw him turn it over a few times on the weekend with passes to spectators two rows back..

    good luck to him but think we have better optiosn and he was never going to the difference between us winning and losing!!

    I consider CJ a traitor to leave the way he did so i don't care what he does or how well. i just expect melbourne to play him hard & tight when we play Carlton

  • Quote

    Was the public face of the CFC on the TV news last night and aquitted himself well. I don't mind him but I think he had no future at the club and made the right career move.

    Can we move on now please?

    Too right.

    CJ would struggle to get a game with the D`s by midyear if he was still with us anyway. Get over it people. Didnt we get an extra pick out of it in the PSD as a result!!??

  • Quote

    Yep, because CJ left it meant we had room for Jarah.

    I am happy with that and wish him well.

    He is not a bad player and I am sure Carlton would be happy also.

    Your right Jack, lets all move on.

  • Quote

    Exactly.

    I think in the long run we've actually done pretty well out of being screwed over by Carlton.

    Instead of Judd - we have Morton, Grimes and Maric,

    Instead of R. Warnock - we have Strauss,

    Instead of C. Johnson - we have Jurrah.

    We won't know until about three years from now, I guess, but I think the five we got are 'more likely to take us to the top more often' over the years than the three the Blues got.

    Besides, the Johnson and the Warnock we still have are better anyway ;)

  • Quote

    I add also that Instead of R.Warnock - we also have Spencer, in addition to Strauss. If we took Warnock then I am not sure we would be trialling Spencer now. Whatever Warnock does he would have cost $400,000 a year. We would be paying Spencer a pittance, he is performing and he is not injured ATM.

    But your right about the time frame - at least three years.

    FWIW, I dont think it was a case of instead of Judd. He was always going to Carlton.

    Out of respect for Chris's father's contribution to our club and the fact that Chris is a young man who was neither a star or a regular team member, I suggest we wish him good luck and end this thread.

    PS. We as a club have a lot to look forward to with all of our young players.

    I wasnt happy when he walked out but now couldn't care less. If CJ couldnt get a regular game last year with the state Melbourne were in then i think it was in his best interest to move on and wish him all the best. I think we has handy last night for the blues and deserves a chance to be in there best 22. In the end it i hope its a win for him having a long career with Carlton and a win for Melbourne picking up Jarah. I am still very dirty on Scott Thompson leaving the club i love the way he plays his footy and he would be real asset on and off the field which is what we need. Anyone remember who or what we got for him?

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
