I dont mind th eidea/concept of a Byrnnes type. I think too many people are shooting for the moon.

Currently we're just the other side of crap. We arent going to turn into a take-on-all -killer type for a few seasons yet. Theres a path to this and it will be paved with many a 2-3 year stint of deccent capable journeymen types. They will fill a role, then move on...and the next comes in or is developed from within etc.

This cat could do a role quite well. Certainly combine well with a few others to fire up the middle and get some good decisions happening out of the midfield.

He's not stellar....but hes pretty bloody good on his day

    Bit like Scotland at Carlton, not a star but they certainly got a lot of value out of him since he crossed over from Collingwood. It's amazing how a change of scenery can make a player perform so much better, especially if he is a bigger cog in a smaller engine.

    That's the one, where Murphy finished around 5th having missed half the season.

    Scotland was 23 when he went to Carlton, not 28. Hardly apples and apples.

    Byrnes!!! Sneaky goals!!!

    Sweet, he will add sorely needed experience and make a big difference to our side in the short term.

    Finally landed a 28 year old forward pocket that wasn't in the best 22 in a team that finished 7th and no one else was after them. What a steal.

    If I may balance post, I'm happy enough because he'll play that position better than anyone we currently have.

    Happy with this pick up.

    Experience, pace and comes from a good culture.

    Just the type of player we need n the short term. Look forward to what he can bring to the table!

    Yeah, he will play it better than no-one.

    Because that is who we have had play small forward this year.

    he will be an ideal pick up for us as we don't have any small, fast, crubing forwards and he ticks everyone of those boxes :) he brings a large amount of experience (dual preiership player) and he is also coming from a winning culture which is an invaluable trait and he can hopefully give our young players an idea of what they have to put in to make it at this level!

    He's like an un-freakish Moorcroft. Oh well, didn't lose much.

    we didn't lose anything, unrestricted free agent

    • 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.
