Agree DL_7. Like Blease, I hope he can progress with his performance having overcome serious injury.

    I wasn't too keen on Strauss early on but he seems to have developed a bit and was getting much more aggressive in his play before he broke his leg. I reckon he can play and could turn out to be a pretty good player.

    Needs to improve A LOT..

    Strauss and Morton are well and truly in my firing line.

    ill be zeroing in on Strauss more next year when Morton plays over in the Wafl.

    I'm sure he's shaking in his boots

    good to see Strauss back...became a fan and was disappointed when he was injured as he'd just cemented himself.

    Are those boots moon boots? Because he is pretty fragile!

    I don't get it. We have a young player who clearly has some talent but who also has had a pretty poot run win injuries, now when he's finally starting to show something Melbourne fans are sticking the boot into him?

    Jesus, we should be celebrating the fact that he's finally putting some games together and understand that he'll be much better for the run and a proper pre-season.

    How opinions change over time....

    Just another example of why a player like Cook deserves more time.

    Absolutely. Strauss = 16 games. Cook = 0 games. Next we'll be saying that Rory Taggert is rubbish. These players need support at the games, not people bagging them online.

    Congratulations. Says all that needs to be said about MFC culture.

    Looks promising and won me over with his performances last year. And in the game that he broke his leg I reckon that was gonna be his breakout game. He was killing Garlett early and was offensively good. Has come back and looks like he has potential.

    But Strauss has done more than Cook, shown more than Cook.

    He hadn't at the same stage of his career, and many on this forum were ready to delist him.

    And Cook is a tall.

    It says nothing of MFC culture.

    It says a lot about the idiots that support all teams.

    The club drafts skinny, fragile type players who break down, they are real culture builders.

    Strauss is a prime example, 16 games since being drafted in 2008.

    Take your MFC culture babble elsewhere you fool.

    Strauss was starting to look OK before his injury.

    I'm hopeful he'll pickup from where he left off.

  • Quote

    Great to see him back after that terrible injury last year. I thought he showed a bit before that and I'm looking forward to what he can produce next year after a proper pre season!

    Loved the other players contacting him for support! One of the best parts of our game!

  • Quote

    Anyone who can kick the ball as well as Strauss is welcome to get a game.

    Too many players on the list can't kick.

    Just a shame that he's only had 22 kicks this year...at a lousy average of 4 a game.

    If he can start getting more of the footy I'll be enthused, but right now we have too many

    players that struggle to break the 10-15 posessions barrier (Jetta, Strauss, Tapscott, Spencer,Bail, Sellar)

    Stick to your fantasy football. You know nothing about real football. Keeping living your fantasy life, tough guy.

    Being the sub has skewed those results.

    KingDingAling seems to think that he broke the leg because he was soft, or skinny, so WE must be wrong about him.

    Granted he did have a slow start due to other injuries, but he is now looking like he will produce the goods.

    I must say that I did have my reservations early on - mooted as an elite kick but one who couldn't get enough of the ball to show 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.
