not really deezman, you f*****d up, you apologised, which was good of you, just let it die a natural death and the ripostes will cease.

Fair call.

    I some ways Deesman has done us all a favour. By commenting as he did, it caused a series of comments pointing out with reasoned logic how utterly baseless racism is. Surely a good thing, and to Deezman's credit he has apologised. Let's move on...

    On the subject of the captaincy and Aaron Davey, I'm in two minds. On the one hand, he has done an outstading job of leading and mentoring our indigenous players, and make no mistake they are the x factor which will make us a powerhouse in years to come. They have such sublime skills that it gives us that extra we will need in the future. Whether davey would have the time time continue this mentoring role as Captain only the club can judge. On the other hand, the honour we would all feel in having an indigenous Australian Captaining the oldest football club in the world and see him holding the Cup above his head in 2014 when we win the flag on the 50th anniversary year of our last flag would be quite something. There is a certain symmetry to it. I only hope that big Jimmy will be there to see it.

    The other concerning have about Daveyas Captain is the way he sometimes doesn't handle heavy tags very well such as in the first game against Carkton this year. However, he seemed to learn from that and in latter games, played very well when sides tried to do similar things to Carlton.

    On balance I think the pluses out-weigh the minuses with Davey as Captain as I think he would make a very fine leader indeed. I also think Brad Green has shown outstanding leadership in the few times he has been acting Captain in the past so he would also be very good.

    Agreed and I sure hope this is what eventuates.

    For mine, I'm not a fan of having an Aboriginal captain. It's not being racist by any means... but I do feel that Aborigines seem to stick by one another a lot more - i.e. after games when they tend to all gather 'round one another etc.

    That's just my take. Aaron is great in recognising and promoting the indigenous community and I'd like to see him stick to that leadership role (and be added to the leadership group!).

    I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a Brad Green leading the charges.

    Wrong wrong wrong - by all means judge him on his ability as a captain but his ability as an aboriginal, caucasian, catholic, atheist, etc captain is wrong.

    but you told me lately we were both "s*** stirrers"

    rather passe, I'd rather be a "provocative m****r f****r", much more new-age

    E25 makes himself a rather large target, doesn't need your assistance

    Tis the silly season, but won't last for ever

    Was that flippant enough, doc?

    Let's not get indignant, DC...

    • 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.
