Congratulations on apparently being the only person to think Nathan Jones would be a good player and captain one day.....

Also, just wondering how your more recent genius predictions have been going? Like these ones you made for season 2013...

Grand Finalists: Sydney vs. West Coast

Premiers: Sydney

Wooden Spoon: Gold Coast

Biggest AFL Story of the Year: "Lance Franklin Rejects Hawks; Heads West to Fremantle"

The Biggest Improvers: GWS, Richmond

Most Improved: Sam Blease

Final Ladder Position: 11th

    Even the best of us are wrong sometimes, Stuie. That must have been on one of my very few off days...

    When I saw the blue star next to the title thread I thought this would have been a thread where I queried Green's captaining...

    Don't want to go back there...

    To those that didn't see Jones as Captain in 2011 (I was one that would have overlooked him) the difference between the Jones of 2011 and the Jones of the last two years is quite stark.

    Thanks PJ, I've always prided myself on my modesty. It's probably my fourth best trait after intelligence, good looks and athleticism.

    hey... let's not overlook the fact that in your prediction you stated that he will "thrive under Neeld..."... so, are you crediting Neeld with his rise to the captaincy? ;-)

    Haha well Jones did excel while Neeld was coach. Whether he excelled because of Neeld's coaching or because of his own hard work though, is difficult to know ^_^

    "Green named Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove, Nathan Jones, Daniel Nicholson and Rohan Bail as players to step up their leadership"

    Impressive effort from a player still on a rookie list.

    We need his style of play in our team so hopefully he continues to develop.

    I laughed.

    • 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.
