Maybe I will understand this more if you explain to me who you think we should be trying to recruit. I expect that you will struggle to come up with some realistic options. I am not saying dont bring in mature bodies but not the expense of using our top picks to overpay for players.

i am not talking using high picks....We must be the most aggressive user of the Free Agency rules this year.

    We are in agreement then. Based on who is available under free agency who would you target? I dont think there is anyone on the list restricted or unrestricted that fills our need that is a realistic get ie: I dont see Mitchell or Goddard as realistic gets.

    I do not have the info to answer that BRFE. That is for the club to sort. But it is what we must try and do. Priority one.

    People are starting to turn sour on my club.

    Be that right or wrong, it is happening.

    People have been sour on our club for some time. Now is not the time to make rash judgements. You stick to the plan that you think is right and if you see an opportunity to accelerate your position then you take it ie: Clark in the previous off season. I trust we will look at all options but I hope we do it with a level head and dont just push change for changes sake. If there is no good mature mid options at the right price in the offseason then you stick the course and keep developing from within.

    Agree with that. But our needs are so obvious...i hope the research has already begun.

    Matthews also said, they trot out Gary Lyon to do figure head works as well.

    He said that a couple of weeks ago. I don't necessarily agree.

    Matthews talked about our structural and ball use problems directly after the game yesterday.

    Well done genius. You don't think Neeld has been teaching that?

    I would be surprised if he wasn't teaching that.

    Who is mentioning "stop gap??" This old club needs to get out of first gear...recruiting more kids as long term prospects is not what we need.

    Interesting that Malthouse made some honest comments about the club, rather damming i heard..Trying to find a Podcast.

    Would be interesting if Neeld or Leigh Brown have been chatting?

    Here is the link:

    Its rather savage assessment over the current administration you might not like it.

    • 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.
