The "any number" was simply a reference to the the mount of rumours circling a coaching appointment. But I suppose it could reference any number of things !! :)

    You know we have a game on Sunday does anyone care?

    For the seventh year in a row August's only attraction is who is the coach and what draft picks will we get.

    Pretty much over this crap.

    First time in a long time, in the aftermath of a game, that I've we've been well coached strategically. And what McKenzie has been doing languishing at Casey and playing as a defensive wingman, for god's sake, is anyone's guess.

    Not sure about the well coached strategically. Certainly an improvement and some flexibility but watts in defence in last quarter when suns kicked around him and we needed someone to finish in the front end was an obvious fail.

    On the other hand the treatment on Ablett rotations and constant niggling by all players was a master coaching tactic.

    At least and at last some positive signs

    Could be an interesting night Redleg

    Asking constantly while all the time we get worse on the field might be starting to wear a little thin with people who have given a lot in the past.

    Perhaps the new President announced tonight?

    Always wanted to go to Liverpool but on the two occasions I was in England could never convince my wife to visit.

    May be I been under my lilly pad for too long but surely there been some good players who have been shafted by the Club lately?

    My suggestions would be B Green, Robbo, J MacDonald, A Yze, C Bruce, J Rivers, B McLean, B Molony to name a few.

    It really depends on how you define "shafted". All players reach a time when they have to move or be moved on. James McDonald had reached that stage a few years ago at the age of 33. Problem was the situation was badly handled by the coach and the football department. Perhaps it was this that ultimately sowed the seeds of discontent that came to a head with 186.

    Robbo spoke at last night's Foundation Dinner and while he conceded he was upset when told it was the end for him, he recognised that the time had come.

    I don't think many of the above names were really "shafted" but some, like Moloney, played a part in their demise.

    • 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.
