If E25 is filling the void left by YM and the F-word then I am all for him.

He can be a d!ck, but YM was pointless to read for the monotonous regularity of MFC-love and delusion, and the other one hasn't had a decent idea or notion or argument on this place.

But that's just me.

And, according to some on here, I am in collusion with E...

I can't be trusted at all...

    I don't think one game decides a future.

    At Least YM made the Newspaper a couple of seasons ago...I am still waiting for a WYL comment to be immortalized in Print!! B)

    There must be a few dud journalists who decipher what we write!

    I'd watch the way they print your use of capitals!

    It'd be a fair effort. B)

    I think Richmond have targetted Miller as a fantastic leader who will train his heart out to get the most out of his ability. If others on their list can mimic these attributes, the Richmond FD will be quite happy IMO.

    We mustn't forget that, despite his limitations as a player, he was voted into our leadership group as recently as this season.

    That, and the fact they have a lack of mature forwards, is what Richmond have talked about.

    As for the Miller clip, there's a good argument to be made that Miller should have been proactive, but it was another example of Watts looking like he doesn't have much in the way of game smarts (something I'm surprised by, and something that concerns me the most about him).

    I think the opposite.

    I think Watts read the situation perfectly and drew the defender to release Miller, but Miller didn't know what to do & tried to put in a half-hearted shepherd, hanging Watts out to dry.

    Ideally, Watts draws the defender, absorbs him leaving Miller open with the footy to find a decent target upfield.

    I don't remember the moment and the clip vision isn't 'wide' enough for me to see what else is going on, but what is clear is that even if that was Watts' plan, it was clear it wasn't happening well before he kept running straight into the arms of a Collingwood lover tackler.

    It's also not the only time he's been caught after hanging onto the footy for quite a while, unable to choose (?) an option.

    Nah, I'm talking about that one play and the blame does not belong with Watts in the slightest.

    Miller made an absolute meal of it.

    Heh.

    I have no problem with the vison and awareness of Jack Watts.

    (I now rock back arrogantly in my chair.)

    Seriously, there are issues but vision isn't one of them.

    I think the scrutiny is a direct result of the amount of crap I post.

    And someone needs to fill the void left by YM and Freak since they don't pop up much anymore.

    Im doing my bit :)

    • 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.
