Is this even a possiblity? When is he out of contract?

On the idea alone, I can't see how someone could be all for keeping Aussie and Maric but against Alwyn Davey. Even with his iffy form and body, I'd take him over either of them at this stage.

    Robert Warnock is a perfect example of looking past the fact that we have a player's brother. Look at the player's ability. Alwyn Davey had one breakout year. He was dropped from one of the 4 worst teams in the league this year. He doesn't get enough of the ball, and isn't damaging enough with it.

    We have Wonaeamirri, Jetta and Maric who can all play Davey's role, but better. And the potential cost of getting him just makes it totally unworthwhile.

    Joel fitted into our teams needs?

    He has added experience to the backline and that's it. We have plenty of backs? Rivers playing for Casey this week is proof.

    We got him because he was the only worthwhile pickup in the pre season draft. A number of positions? Where else could he play?

    On Joel's form last year, nobody would have said he would get a game at Melbourne !!!! Nobody !!!

    It's not about current form jayceebee.

    Joel has played fuill back, chb, hbf, wing is that enough..

    He played 22 H&A games in a team that was an AFL finalist in 2009. MFC were a bottom dwelling underperformin side.

    On this site it was aptly recognised by a number of posters that JoelMac would add something at MFC. He would have clearly been selected for MFC.

    You do love the melodrama to cover some gaping holes in your argument.

    Rubbish. He played the majority of games last year; and okay too, until Voss left him out of the semi, with everyone scratching their head as to why. Including Brisbanians.

    Brisbane had plenty of options down back/half back.

    In any event, all the points made above are valid and true. MFC & Aaron tried hard to get him across a couple of years ago and he turned us down. Now he struggles for a game in an ordinary team and we have Aaron, Jetta, Bennell, Wona already.

    We have Wonaeamirri, Jetta and Maric who can all play Davey's role, but better. And the potential cost of getting him just makes it totally unworthwhile.

    Agreed ID & Titan.

    • 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.
