    Definitely. Glad he got picked up after a really good season in the VFL last year - Pity he has to go all the way over West! Good luck to him.

    Also agree- we will need to look at our tall backline at Casey with Faulks & Silvagni now gone.

    I have mixed feelings on this. It is wonderful that he's been given a chance at AFL level, but now he has the double blow of having to pack his bags and move to Perth with the added slap of being on Fremantle's list. I would have been happier for him if he'd wound up with a local club with decent prospects. However, all in all being on an AFL list is a good thing, so well done I guess.

    Congratulating someone for being selected by Freo is just plain cruel.

    What a joke.

    The guy is a mature aged player who has been given a chance to play AFL at Fremantle - I'm sure he is devastated.   ;)

    I'm quite sure he would be over the moon to get onto an AFL list, even as a rookie.

    But perhaps not as stoked as Pods getting on Geelong's list. ;)

    A win for the player.

    Is being Picked up by the Shockers a good thing for the CV??

    Time will tell i suppose, but i know if i had to put on that jumper & sing that dreadful Song i would be feeling violently ill

    Being picked up by Freo is awesome!

    Just look at Croad, McPhee, Brodie Holland, James Clement, Peter Bell, Jess Sinclair the list goes. All you have to do is stay a couple of years and get traded to a victorian club and you will have a great career.

    What do Broughton, Van Berlo and Pearce all have in common?

    Probably more opportunity to get a chance at AFL level with Freo.

    That is true.

    Is it just me or is Freos policy usually to pick up only Bombers players in the draft?

    Is Silvagni any relation to SOS?

    A cousin.

    • 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.
