Ask for a trade? You're jumping at shadows.

You've been spooked by that ridiculous post about Sylvia hypothetically asking for a trade due to the "disrespect" of not being put straight back in the side.

As if half a season of good form has earned it.

You are aware it has now been revealed he had 'carry-over' points with the leadership group after other indiscretions, similar to the tribunal?

Yes, I was well aware that the reason Sylvia was sent to Casey last weekend was related to the carry-over points issue.

I never said anything about him missing last week. He has to wear that, and I have no issue with that decision.

My point was, that I cannot see how the selection committee could justify not picking him 'this' week. Some have suggested that he may not be selected this week, and the fact that he's only on the extended bench leaves it an open possibility.

Not picking him simply because we don't want to win the game, as someone else intimated, would be ridiculous. That's what concerns me...

    If the MFC as a club panders to players whims and is not willing to leave a player out for one match for fear they will leave, then we will truly be in a lot of trouble...

    The club is bigger than any one man and the tail does not wag the dog.

    You're not reading what I said.

    I had no issue with the one match ban imposed by the leadership group. I'm worried that he might be named as an emergency this week and there'd be no justification for that...

    Is that true? Where'd you hear that from?

    No mate I understand perfectly.

    He's done his time, he was one of the best at Casey on the weekend, he deserves a recall. I just would hate to see him ask for a trade now, after all that's happened...

    We can't keep him out of the team any longer. Collecting a bloke behind the play isn't a capital offence last time i checked....

    nupp ..you dont... youre still thinking in a week by week /this year mode. Playing out the rest of the year has to done with care and candour...and all players must do whats right for the right outcome. Simple as that

    hahaha how did i know you were going to say that. Might Warnock actually have an injury? Its not that much of a help, I mean kangers don't have the biggest forward line. McIntosh might sneak down there for a bit but will be doing 70 - 80 % of the ruck work.

    HF: Matt Campbell, Corey Jones, Brent Harvey

    F: Leigh Adams, Drew Petrie, Lindsay Thomas

    Folks...you have a simple choice..you can let it get to you and you end up with yor grundies in a twist and feeling bitter towwards this game/club etc ..or....you can embrace this farce for whatit is... A set of circumstances thrust upon us and not entirely in our control and one that we must make the bestfist of for our own good. Its a game within a game. So far.so good B)

    Well said.

    Shitttt I just read the last few posts. Far out we have been very unlucky this year, probley a good thing though. I wonder if he done this on the w/e or if he has been carrying it and they have decided to send him off to surgery so he can get right for next year?

    • 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.
