It's clear to see the path the club is taking to maximise draft picks this year, but today just sucked!

Sitting in the crowd surrounded by those arrogant, moronic, pathetic human beings that are Carlton supporters, I wanted nothing more than for us to [censored] their joke of a team, but I knew before even turning up to the game we were never serious about winning.

Every time Judd came to the bench, it was almost a standing ovation by the morons around me.

I know the path we are taking, and the need to land the top 2 picks in the draft, but I would have given that extra pick up today to see us beat those clowns.

Very, very tough to sit through and watch, and little wonder so few of us actually turned up to cheer us on!

Um, they are a sh!tload better than us.

We didn't need any incentive to lose.

We're crap.

Agreed they are at present a better team, but we weren't without a chance of winning that game under normal circumstances.

We go in with 3 ruckman, McLean plays forward for most of the game, Frawley comes off for a break to give McNamara experience on Fev..........all fine for development, but not going to win us the game.

One of those ruckmen, and it was 4 ruckmen if you count PJ, kicked 5 goals and Martin and Spencer weren't given a bath.

And McLean couldn't have been a huge loss - we won the clearances.

McNamara on Fevola is an interesting one as I only saw a couple of Fev goals that were kicked on him.

What I am saying is that some of these supposed 'experiments' actually worked in our favour and we still lost by 10 goals.

We are awful. We let in 64 Inside 50s!

This tanking/experiemental/list management debate ended after the NM loss. The PP has been ours since then.

If you thought we had a chance against Carlton because we beat Freo last week you are setting yourself up for a fall.

Yeah, we might do them over next year but we will need a summer in the gym, a suitable amount of skill work, and Scully, Trengove, Watts, Blease, Bennell, Maric, Grimes, Wonaeamirri, Garland, Warnock, Green, and Bruce.

Amen to that! This season has been most unenjoyable and needs to finish! Plenty of good signs - grimes, jurrah, frawley etc etc, and a nice new set of draft picks - but i hate losing

I thought we played alright for the first 2 and half quarters we didnt have our best side in and we nearly went goal for goal. Frawley was great on Fev early, but i think Morton was on Garlett and he tore us apart.

We were never going to win but was great to see Nev Jetta run around the middle, and any game with Jurrah playing always gets me excited

The experiment is worth pursuing. Good for today and next week as well. The season is well and truly munted so why not see who can do what? Even if we had our best cattle on the park it would have been a stretch to believe we could beat Carltons mids. I don't like the tanking stuff (aka the Richmond game) but against teams we will lose against why not see who can do what - and more importantly who can't - so we can delist those that have obvious flaws or are too one dimentional for this ever changing game. I hope we give people a good chance to show they can play different positions next week for that reason. Imagine uncovering a kid that can tag a Del Santo or spoil a Riewolt? Worth the pain I think.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
