Will having Jack Grimes as my Supercoach CAPTAIN this week pay off?

After careful consideration, I decided that Grimes will absolutely dominate GWS today and make a good Supercoach captain, is this a wise move Demonlanders?

Put your vote in and your life on the line!

    Would be nice if he finally hit the scoreboard.

    He has 0 goals for season. Not that anyone's complaing.

    It's just awesome to see him out there and it looks like he will play 20+ games for the first time ever.

    I think Grimes will kill it today, I've overlooked Watson and elected Grimes as captain.

    My finals hinge on it.

    All you dirt bag Demonlanders should be voting on my poll, your all 'arm chair experts' at everything else,

    but when it comes to putting yourselves on the line - your all scared little b*tches.

    you think he will be the highest scorer in your supercoach team?

    if you are right, it is a unique choice and will do you well.

    most likly (and all respect the grimes) you will regret it. (not saying he wont score well, but there will be better scorers. even from melbourne i think, remember franklin is playing against gcfc)

    I was worried they will sub him early... Plus, Clarkson cost me my first final last week when he made Suckling the sub and I lost by 10 points.

    Not sure I understand the logic ? Are you saying you dont have a Swan, Ablett, Pendles, Boyd or Cox in your team ? If you do - you are expecting them to underperform compared to Grimes ? I have Grimes in my team but would not make him Captain or even vice captain.

    If you need to jump in supercoach or dreamteam the risk you take is for instance - swapping out Pavlich and someone else and getting Buddy back in because you think Pav is gorn and Buddy will tear it up.

    My big risks were in my initial selections - I picked undervalued injured players from last year and in the main they have done ok - Hayes being the standout, Lake, Porplesia (cant be bothered looking up the spelling), Cooney(meh), Clark ( coming back from O/S).

    • 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.
