To continue what has been a great thread...

Chapman withdrawn from the Geelong side this week with a calf injury.

Calf injuries are generally a sign that the end is very near...

    The Leadership Group are top of the tree...Why?...Because they are involved in the battle..hands on.

    The Club is important, but i believe the leadership group drives the players

    The Geelong Culture is strong due to a good deal with the AFL over their round as much as it is their excellence on field .

    We cant replicate their off-field bonus every home game but we can try to emulate their belief and attitude in big games .

    Buying some of their retirees as on field player-coahes is a low percentage move in my opinion.

    Just get them in as mid-field coach as soon as possible .

    True.

    The calf is often regarded as an "old man's injury".

    and we signed Jamar to a 3-yr deal.

    Chapman as a free agent, at $300-$350k over 2yrs is a good option. He showed agst the Hawks that he has the toughness, skills and ability to be at top of the game. We missed him in 1999 draft.

    Culture, and inspiring to the young group. Can you imagine Chappy leading Viney, Jonesy, Jordie Mck etc into battle

    Absolutely can. I think he'd help Jonesy's game to a higher level. Would be exciting for the young uns coming our way. And as has been suggested, entice Ling too as midfield coach.

    • 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.
