    Warnok to Hall

    Frawley to Hahn

    Garland to Johnson (if he plays, if not probably Hill)

    MacDonald to Murphy

    Rivers to FF, I'm dreaming I know!

    I wouldn't be surprised if Bob Murphy gets dropped this week. He's been well below par by his standards.

    Johnson has been ruled out, so think Murphy will get a repreive for that reason

    Chip has better pace than Warnock, and I think they both lads are similar in strength.

    Chip for me, but I can't help thinking Bailey will got with Warnock to start with.

    Who for Murphy? Could try Garland perhaps.

    Frawley has the strength & leg speed to go with Bazza. Frawls also needs the experience of playing these big boys to get further belief for himself. The time is Nigh for the Chipper to take these roles. If Bazza plays deep then maybe Warnock can take him, but further out I'd have The Chip.

    I completely agree. Your username belies itself.;)

    Interesting thought. Garland is deceptively quick, that may be a very interesting match up.

    Johnson is not playing.

    Nearly pretty much how i'd start.

    Warnock to Hall. Frawley to Hahn. Garland to Murphy.

    Don't know where Rivers fits in there (again). He didn't strengthen our backline and providing rebound with precision isn't his strength and we lost a midfield runner last week.

    Start Warnock on him but if Hall starts to get on top then test Frawley on him. We can also possibly use Rivers on him aswell even though Warnock and Frawley are better options. Our Midfield will determine whether Hall plays well.

    Given Rivers is still in the team don't be surprised if we play a loose man in defence (i.e. Rivers) who will help Warnock/Frawley out. I can't really see any other role for Rivers against the Dogs.

    • 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.
