    I just heard Andy Maher on SEN report that Jordie has been granted 'Legend' Status by the AFL..

    Sorry Lou Richards, you just don't cut the mustard mate...

    I'll never take a "training the house down" rumour seriously again after the John Meesen debacle.

    well... from training this morning, he's looking very competent, with good all-round skills, as been reported before. Can take an overhead mark, but still is pretty skinny. Will be a good midfielder, and even had a little run off a forward flank today in a drill. With not being all that developed yet, I can't see him taking this season by storm, but you never know.

    I hear on the street that when Gysberts finishes his AFL career he wants to work in an office.

    RE Demon Dan:

    Yeah that's true. But 'Gys's 2nd placing in the kicking test was 'far superior' to the others that finished 2nd.

    Don't forget that he also won the AIS/AFL Academy's 'B.O.G.' in their game against a bunch of South African school kids who'd never seen a football, let alone played an AFL game in their life..

    fwiw, I think he'll be a gun given time.. Nice one Barry Prendergast!!

    I cant tell if the last part is sarcastic or not...

    • 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.
