Pass. Wish he'd never left, but no value in having him back now. Got to move on.

His best game in 3 years but it was only against us!

Bottom line, if he wanted to come back and the FD thought he'd be valuable I'd be happy for us to try to get him. When does he come out of contract? Surely he'd be frustrated at being constantly played in the VFL and he'd want top level exposure.

If we can get him cheap/PSD, I say why not. If we have to chase him/lure him/sweeten the pot for Carlton, no. He would have to come back on our terms.

Who here thinks on current form he wouldn't push the likes of Sylvia and Moloney out of the team?

While we're at it, let's bring back Ben Holland, Nathan Carroll, and perhaps we can dig up the corpse of Norm Smith?

The only way is forward.

Forget Brock McLean and that entire way of thinking.

1) Brock Mclean....lol

2) VFL only.

3) Overrated

4) Absolutely no speed for the modern game.

5) Lost the plot at Melbourne & cant get a game at Carlton unless someone is injured. Not favoured by two AFL teams says it all.

6) I used to like Chooka... but he is a dud much like Morton has become. Talented to useless in the space of two years.

7) Stick him with the John Howat/Brent Grgic pile. Finished due to being useless.

8) Invest in the future only for me not the past.

He's hardly played any footy in his three seasons at Carlton, yes I liked him for a while with us but he's past his time, he'splayed his best footy of his career with us. Even though he had 33 possessions he still looked slower than ever

IF and when a guy some may remember, Jordan Gysberts, gets back on the field and hits anything like the firm of his first few games, people will stop this sort of talk.

stuff his first few games, he got the ball heaps but didnt use it, i think it was in the middle of last year where for 3 or 4 games in a row he had probably 20-25 possessions but he used the ball so well, had much more time to targets and was alot more valuable, injury has set him back again so probably take a few games to get the speed back again, probably struggle with structures at first too considering he hasn't had any before.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
