Increases the chances and currency for Warnock to Carlton

    Something is not right down at Carlton. That is the 5th player to ask to be traded. I understand why younger guys want to jump ship from Brisbane (5-6 requested to leave) being that they are in for some dark years, but the Blues made the finals and are still a top 8 team. Something is really wrong down there, and I think it may have something to do with the coach...

    Must be some sort of competition going on between Vossy and Rats to see who is the most unpopular

    As long as the Dees are tight, I'll just sit back and enjoy it

    Wonder which club will implode next?

    The Blues must see their Window is out of kilter with their list, & seem to be rushing hastily to fix.

    instigated by Thornton apparently

    Not really any worries for them though.

    Thornton is dead wood.

    Griggs is decent but certainly won't be hard to replace

    Walker is injury prone, poor disposal and is on the borderline of there best 22.

    Jacobs is good but is third in line for the ruck.

    Anyone I miss?

    Can anyone think of an AFL player in recent times that has had more goals kicked on them than Brett Thornton?

    Just a general question rather than a criticism because its not entirely Thornton's fault. He has played as key defender since 2002 for a club that has (for the most part) been sitting on the bottom of the ladder. And in that time the Blues have been given some real hidings.

    My brother is a Blues supporter and raised the question with me and I can't think of anybody.

    Your right.

    Depending on what they might gain in exchange it could work in their favour.

    I certainly wish them nothing but failure though.

    • 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.
