A bit surprised that the highlights package on the official website for mature- age Rookie, James Magner, consists of little else than perfectly executed sling tackles ( Trenners to note ? ). Obviously one tough unit, but can he play ?

    I don't know how to post it, but if you go to Dee TV on the club website and scroll through the videos there are highlights of all the new recruits.

    I'm not that savvy........... but where you see the three thumbnails on the MFC site under the DEE TV screen just hit the arrow and it's the very next one to slide across.

    Here is a longer highlights reel of 'Mitsubishi' someone downloaded on Youtube.

    Solid meat and potatoes grunt midfielder ... Likes a goal, too.

    Just the man we need to tackle (pardon the pun) the likes of Swan and Judd.

    Ok...really like the look of this guy. Contested mark or what!....Tackles, good in tight, reads the play very well, can even ruck and likes a goal.....more of this please.

    When Magner tackles they stick don't they! Will have to watch those sling tackles though. No use to us in the Grandstand.

    Will be good to see how he goes in the NAB cup... Reserve judgement until then...

    He will need to watch the sling tackles though. Other than that, he's got good ball-sense around the stoppages, breaks tackles and can kick goals out of traffic. Slight question for me on pace. We'll find out next month.

    The sling tackle is an umpiring mistake just about every time- think about the rules .

    "that is desperation" we have needed this for so looooooong.........it would appear this kid can go very nicely, now for the next level, I certainly hope he can.

    Thx 4 the clipz ppl

    • 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.
