Mick no doubt has the runs on the board. But I feel he is too consumed with the circumstances of his leaving Collingwood and in proving a point, and this will always be a negative for the navy blues. The fallout on two great clubs will be great, maybe similar to what happened to our club way back when. How the mighty fall.

    Ratts played for, captained and coached the team he loves. And then gets stabbed. Will this be referred to one day as Brett Ratten's Curse? I hope so!

    One can only hope so....they will probably sack him in a couple of years when they fail again.

    Great coaches always go bad at their last club and Carlton always knife their coach....its a perfect fit for mine. In the meantime we can enjoy watching Eddie's blood pressure readings as Mick steals all his staff........as long as he he keeps his hands off Neeld's team

    This will get interesting:

    Mick obviously under his seperation deal with the woods can't coach (or accept one) until October thus the I have left it to my Manager bull.

    Cloke will suddenly become an enviromental ambassador.

    Eddie will do all in his power to expose the real Carltank salary cap.

    Kruezer cup will be added to the tanking investigation with the hope the fallout will reveal some new information.

    Eddie is quite right to ask how the hell Carlscum will afford Cloke. Everyone wants to know how they get away with dodgy "ambassadorial " roles. Previously that dog was left to sleep, but now Eddie is [censored] off.

    This will be fun :)

    In the meantime everyones looking over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    IMO no coach is worth 1.2 million a year.

    If you do not have the cattle then JC cannot get you across the line.

    I believe MM is a good coach but he only succeeded at the PIES when he had the cattle.

    Good luck Carlton

    And as Eddie asks where is the money coming from?

    MM and Cloke leading Carlton to a flag would make Eddie's head explode.

    I'm very happy the big eye of Eddie is fixed on Carlton and their payment methods. Ever since the AFL wouldn't let us do a Judd type deal with scully I've been ticked off that what is good for one isn't for another.

    Well we simply will have to pull up a chair and watch this one . There are fewclubs, indeed individuals who can tilt at this windmill. There are stimes i want to shoot his bastard for his digs at us but then again as much as we loather to admit hes also done some decent work. He will not fear the AFL, if anything it is the other way around.

    if Eddie gets it into his head that he wants , ne demands a reaasoning as to how Carlton manage this whilst others go begging then he will pursue it. So he should, so all should. its plain and simply a crooked set up. How this 'ambassadorial' role manages to fall outside of Judds package whilst many other similalrly styled ideas were nixed begs further explanation and /or rectification

    Its time the brown-baggers came unstuck

    Have i missed something in the last 24 hours??

    Malthouse is the new Carlscum coach?? Or is it still just speculation?

    Wifi has been down.

    Likely WYL that its Malty, but a slight chance of another Big Name.

    But it looks like Jack the Ripper.... but, wheres his Cloke to come from? And where is his Top Hat?

    It's Just Another episode of Government pandering to Big Business again, with subtle differences, being it's the Footy Entertainment, rather than Mining or Petroleum Industries.

    The absolute worst thing I have ever seen written on Demonland. Unless of course you meant to insert two words in the middle and forgot, the words being " to Hell ".

    Why? do we need company Redleg?

  • Quote

    I find it troubling that after a lifetime of classifying Collingwood as the team to despise most I find that Carlton has now taken that mantle. Is this, perhaps, Eddie's biggest success?

    On topic, if Malthouse becomes coach of Carlton as the pundits are predicting and we probably all expect, does that make Mark Neeld's job harder in that Malthouse's reach into Collingwood might restrict Neeld's access? Or has Neeld already extracted everything he wants (such as Leigh Brown)?

    Oh come on OD, it's not that bad. A few good draft picks and some good trades and we will be off and running. Add a hard pre season, a decent run with injuries and natural development of some of our younger players. I am going off to book my 2013 GF seats in anticipation.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
