Richmond appear to be working it nicely - Chaplin and Knights. We could do worse than follow their model. Drafted smartly - Cotchin and Martin, traded wisely - Maric and Grigg etc, rose up the ladder looking like a club going places and now are using FA well. More Richmond, less whinging ...

Not sure about Chaplin & Knights - time will tell - but you are correct - trade for players who can address gaps - Maric in particular has proven to be a steal. I wait with interest

    When did Richmond become the model for development?

    They have had a couple of good recruits over the last few years but I think it is a bit of a stretch to imply that they are the benchmark. I hope that there are some better examples for MFC to learn from.

    I'll wait to see Richmond in the finals before I point to them as a model to be followed.

    Playing us on a break BW.

    WE are so far behind them at present we cannot hear the band.

    The Tigers beat both Hawthorn and Swans during the year

    How close did we get Hawthorn 11 goals and Swans 16 goals

    as well the Tigers beat us by 9 goals and 2 goals 11 behinds and a couple out on the full.

    I think they are way in front of us in ladder position, quality of list and Development of players.

    • 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.
