    Who is the LTI?

    Hopefully not Grimes

    Not grimes but i am led to believe it (the LTI) is correct. Let me say it is a player that hasn't played a game yet in 09. thats all i will say for now!

    So then it's out of Watts, Maric, Robertson, McNamara, Wheatley, Blease and Jurrah?

    Of those Jurrah and Maric have permission to play this weekend for Casey so perhaps not either of them.

    robbo said on saturday that he has told "them" that he was right to play last week (v bris), so I guess no.

    Well i'll take an educated guess that McNamara's groin injury has been upgraded.

    I think its a bit odd we are promoting Valenti immediately. Is there room for him in our midfield? Isn't it a waste of money unless he will slot right into our 22?

    The upside is it will create competition for midfield spots which can only be a good thing.

    if the LTI is true then absolutely it makes sense to promote valenti. Re Competition I think this answers your first question.

    But just having him promoted for the sake of competition is a silly waste of money. Keep him on the rookie list, then, a few weeks down the track if his form warrants it promote him then.

    Spencer was promoted as there was a real need for a ruckman, based on Meeson and his amazing qualities, there is no real need to promote Valenti at the moment

    Yes but in hindsight the competition element is still there by simply having a vacant spot available for a rookie to take if there form warrants it.

    The MFC have said several times that rookies and match day payments blew our budget out last year.

    We shouldn't let financial issues compromise our footy department but I don't see Valenti having any impact right at the moment.

    I'd agree that i think this is most likely.

    • 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.
