Changes for Gold Coast

Featured Replies

Our percentage will drop below GC's. They are more competitive than us right now and it's 63 to 58 as it stands right now. Add in the fact that they could actually spank us and I believe they will finish above us. Says so much about our team that has already been said on here but I have no emotion towards results this season anymore so I'm just taking a clinical look at the drafting situation, and what will be best for this rabble.

 

GC beat us, beat GWS, go above us on the ladder- only have to worry about keeping GWS from bidding on Viney- which I'm more confident about doing.

Being able to use pick first two picks on kids, getting Viney with pick 20 something is the only thing that is going to bring a smile to my face in the season from hell!

I don't think you need to worry about us winning, it's not going to happen.

Joy.

This isn't tanking, it's pick management!

 

It's depressing, I just want this season to be over. Collect our draft picks, maybe snare somebody half decent during trade week, hopefully Jurrah gets off and Clark recovers well. Bring on next year.

Exactly. Every game now is just one step closer to draft time for me. Thinking if we miss out on Cloke we go Grundy. If GC beat us and end up 3rd last GWS take Whitfield, we take Grundy, Toumpas/whoeverthef and Viney. All of a sudden something to smile about


Really? I didn't notice .

I posted this too quickly-will watch the replay and reconsider all this .After I puke.

If you watched the game, you would have noticed Moloney as one of our best (Jones & Moloney were our best two) !! please don't post unless you watch the game

 

IN: High draft picks

OUT: Dignity (what's left anyway...)

But seriously folks...

Does it really matter? Either play some kids for the experience or play some borderline players to decide if they get another chance, hard to care anymore...

If Moloney put as much effort into stopping his opponent as he does waving his arms directing others to stop said opponent, he may have made the top 10 players for the MFC.

Can't possibly be given another game.

This sort of trash post always shows up after we have games at Etihad that aren't on TV for some reason.... Hmmmmm....

I watched but didn't SEE that of which you speak :blink:

Out Dunn Jetta Strauss McKenzie Sellar Spencer

In Watts Tynan Gysberts Morton Petterd Fitzpatrick

How does Tynan play when he is out injured?

Agree.


Anyone who thinks Morton should come in should look at the Frankston game.Then read Clint Bizkits appraisal elsewhere in game thread. Then put that into context with the contested possesion count in the North game! A stat which shows we were slaughtered!

So some want to put a bloke in who is so far outside i.e uncontested you need a telescope to see him to address our inside contested possesion problem??

The game aint won with outside runners, but with inside grunters who run and carry!

Get Real!

My Inns: Fitzpatrick, Gysberts, Couch ( wouldn't have dropped him in the first place) and Watts

Outs : Seller , Dunne, Strauss, Spencer

That's for a start

Agree.

Disagree

6 or 7 years ago it was "when sylvia, bate, dunn, johnstone and mclean get games under there belt we will be unstopable"

2 or 3 years ago it was "when trengrove, watts, straus, blease, cook get games bla bla bla"

now its "when viney, toumpas, grundy whoever get games"

Seems to be a common denominator here... hmmmm...

C'mon stuie , surely you can do better than that.

Bit like Moloney really. Make out like your doing something like waving your arms while your opponent runs right through you.

This sort of trash post always shows up when people believe supercoach or just look at match statistics.

Well Josh, it is either hope we fix the crap or give up. I live in hope.

I live in hope as well, in fact i can be quoted on this site saying that patience is key, that we have a good young core. But we have had good young cores before and nothing happened, perhapes all this talk of " not enough experienced leaders with the right attitude" is right.

Lets go get Sewell, Chappy, Black and as many seniour players from proven clubs and pay them to teach our kids in a similar way to GWS with J Mac, Brogan and Power

Yep couldn't agree more!!

i am still furious with Ryan Ferguson who cost us Sewell by refusing to go to Hawthorn. We should have threatened him with "you will never play another senior game for us if you don't go". We were weak.

I think that Morton was named amongst the better players for Casey: I saw bits and pieces only of the game and he still is, as you perhaps kindly put it, "so outside". The few times I saw him he just didn't want to contest. (weeping: and we could have had Cyril - weeps again)

Have you seen Fitzpatrick play?

Sellar is ok and will stay as will Strauss who, just in case you didn't realise it was the substitute yesterday and the previous two weeks.

Neeld has a lot of time for Strauss and considers him part of the future, so I don't think they will drop him.

Did you go to the game yesterday?

It's sure working for them....

  • 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.
