Im very keen on knowing how blease and strauss are going.

Someone already has started a thread on blease wich is good.

Whats the news with him hows he been going in the twos?

FRom what ive seen our top 3 pics are the least ive seen of but IMO hoping to be the three most important players to helping us get to that premiership.

Any news would be very apreciated.

    I believe that's what they call a "knee-related ankle injury."

    Really looking forward to seeing this kid in action. From what I saw last yr, he's got great kicking skills and good pace. Exactly what we need.

    How is he struggling with the physical side of the game Mclean4Brownlow? As in he is panicking when about to be tackled and therefore rushing his disposals? Or he isn't going in hard enough himself to get ball?

    What do you mean, tackling side of things & knocks to the body? I hope not. I understand he's young, but these attributes are pre-requisites for playing AFL. Please, please, please be a good pick 19.........I'm now having visions of Zaharakis' match winning goal against Collingwood thanks to your post.

    Like you HT, I wanted us to pick Zaharakis.

    Yeah I wanted Swift or Zaharakis. Strauss has an amazing kick on him though, would have thought we would have seen him by now.

    Worth watching the youtube highlights to remind you what we are waiting for.

    Struggling with the physical side, as in, the problems holding him back are injuries and fitness.

    Even Whelan is playing in the Casey 2s coming back from injury -- does he not go in hard enough??

    • 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.
