Interesting to note that Jobe Watson only played 13 games in his first 3 years at the club.

Trenners (as noted in the latest article on MFC website) has so far played 47 games in his first 3 years and at times has played some damn good football.

And Trenners cops a lot of flack from many demonlanders on here.

I think taking this into account Trenners is really on the right path.

I'm not saying he will ever win a brownlow I'm just saying that in comparison to Jobe at the same point of their careers he is leaps and bounds ahead. The kid will make it.

Jobe Watson likely would not not have been drafted by anyone if he didn't have a famous football father. Was too slow and lacked basic skills. Could barely kick the ball when first recruited. The Bombers were very patient with him due to his pedigree and gave him time. But full credit to him for rising to the challenge and working bloody hard to make himself a real champion.

Als congrats to Nathan Jones for being our best performer in the Brownlow. Another example of hard work and perseverance.

    spot on Mate, and most are Hawthorn Supporters so i really want the Swans to POUND THEM on Saturday.

    After '87 i do not understand how you can cheer for those putrid stains that cover their jumper.

    It is a complex store wyl.

    one element is that I look at Hawthorn and see everything that the MFC is not

    And should be.

    I admire 40 years in excellence of results.

    I dearly wish we Played like Hawthorn both on and off the field.

    They play to win and take no prisoners.

    I wish we were hated by the other fans like they are.

    Slip on Red and blue jumpers and there is my dream team.

    Maybe sad but that is the way I see them.

    Hope that explains a little.

    PS they are even coached by a Dee.

    How bloody sad is that?

    understood & i agree. But i can never cheer them. I just can't. But i do wish our club would learn from them, as they learnt from us in the 50'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.
