Interesting to note the ex-Scotch and Oakleigh Chargers boy, Ben Sinclair has been snapped up low in the draft by Collingwood.

He's the son of 1960's Demon, Peter "Porky" Sinclair, now an eminent dermatologist. Interestingly, he's a half brother to ex-cat Will Slade, so has connections to League footy on both his Dad and Mum's sides. Apparently he's a real goer.

Dammit that's two blokes I'll be hope do well for that mob,Simon Buckley and Ben Sinclair. I hope the rest of them suffocate on their Malgaigne's bulges.

    bp said last night his dad was absolutely mad Melbourne and in meetings was so red hot for his son to play for us. Ben apparently also wanted to play for us.

    On the topic bp said he also got a call sat night from Liam Patrick saying hawks had said they were goin to take him in the draft. He was anxious and told bp he really wanted to come to Melbourne.

    i hope in the next year or so its our turn to be flavour of the month with players of the afl, they all line up to play for us. it'd be nice to not be the bridesmaid to carlton or anyone else for a change.

    and also i really hope meesen or newton get picked up in the PSD... would love to add somene that may possibly play afl football for us.

    Benny is a great bloke, I was hoping in some way we could get him as a rookie. Such a shame he is at the filth, maybe he can lay low for a while and then make his way over in a couple of years.

    Any idea how many games his old man played for us?

    • 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.
