What a nightmare - over the next 2-6 weeks there are players at Casey that might by vying for promotion:

Rivers

Johnson

Wonna

Watts

Morton

Bell

From last night, Bail and further down the track, LJ Cool J.

Anyone I've forgotten?

Solutions? I suppose the 'cheap' game has disappeared from Bailey's agenda. Looking forward to watching the juggling act.

 

Don't bother with Johnson or Bell.

Rivers is going to find it hard to crack back into the side the way we're going.

Wonna will take time, as will Watts, and Morton is still a few weeks away, but will get back in straight away I feel.

Bail deserves his spot back but might not get it just yet.

injuries and form will give every one a go.

I hope Bailey coaches in such a way that the differences are minimal whoever plays.

We need a Team standard-whoever plays. A standard is set.

 

injuries and form will give every one a go.

Everyone?

Yes, we have to assume that injuries and lapses in form will create situations where players not currently in the 22 will be called upon.

But the names Strauss, Cheney, McNamara, Maric, Watts, Wonaeamirri, Jetta, Blease, Spencer, Gysberts, Bail and then later on Morton, Jurrah and Tapscott all, for mine, come before the names Bell, Johnson and Miller (and, for that matter, Newton).

I don't think there is any future in Bell, Johnson or Miller, and, if the necessity arises, there are others I'd like to see in the team before them.

A nightmare? I won't be losing any sleep over this sort of scenario.


I think it's important that they keep the same players together as long as they continue to win, you have to reward the players for effort. Unless there is a really poor performance put in by any player I would expect the team to stay as is.

Your right Titan, but its got to be, Like for Like. Mature player out,,, mature player comes in. Kid comes in,,,for a kid going for a spell.

If we don't keep the ratio for experience & inexperience in the team balance this year, well, we'll just fall over like Rnd1.

  • 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.
