    I don't know about the team as a whole, but apparently Jack Watts was quite ill in the week leading up to the game.

    Not great for Jack obviously but if true comforting to me, gives us a genuine reason why his stella form didn't continue. Would be hard enough running around up there losing Kgs let alone being sick the week prior.

    I'm glad it's a comfort to you...

    Apparently Jack's was a chest infection.

    If Jack had a bout of Gastro, i would very much doubt he would be drinking Powerade. But that said, if he had a chest infection then it may explain why he was knackered in the second half.

    82% humidity with a chest indfection/Gastro would be Hell to to deal with.

    All power to you "Charlie" in at least taking the field....This weeks build up to the Hawthorn game will be a great test for this club.

    I'm not arguing with you, but why was he playing if he'd been sick? I would have thought 'Watts (ill)' in the team list on Thursday night would have been the way to go. And then perhaps Bate (someone else?) could have played. I guess the club thought he had recovered sufficiently to play.

    You said it...with Bate as the option...

    What the?? I know this, however if he was sick in the lead up to this game it may not be just that "kids have bad games" He looked sluggish from the get go, not just from the heat.

    Here he is on the flight up to Darwin, applying medication to get to the game.

    I'm a bit disappointed that after clicking on this thread I wasn't presented with an even wackier conspiracy theory.

    • 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.
