Congrats to CiP for breaking the story from inside Wagamamas.

    It's very clear to me now what Neeld is doing.

    He wants hard strong bodied midfielders that train hard and are hard to play against.

    If you dont have a big body then you better be quick , a great runner or very skilled.

    The plan also needs big bodied forwards and some clever crumbers.

    It's pretty clear to me now.

    Morton and Gysberts didn't fit into this. Apparently Gysberts application preseason was dismal, and Morton will always be beaten by a strong body.

    Keep the faith.

    Morton for Rodan. Unbelievable...

    Someone teach Harrington some negotiation skills.

    That's a good deal!

    88 is akin to delisting him. The only upside being a vacant spot on the list.

    Upgrade a pick!

    Says more about Morton than Harrington.

    This si the thing that worries me the most - are we behind the 8-ball again? I want our coach to be innovative not just copy something that worked for someone else 3 seasons ago. In 2012 3 of the top 4 teams played a highly skilled kicking game slicing through the zone/press with short accurate kicks. Kicking long to the boundary was made redundant and is too easy to defend against.

    I have doubts also, but I am keeping the faith and certainly won't dismiss this approach until I've seen it. I'd much rather play like Geelong to be honest - there is no way to beat them in full flight, gameplans and all.

    That Kick against The Filth stamped his papers. He could no longer be trusted by coaches or players.

    Neeld wanted him out obviously.

    1) He was contracted so we couldn't just delist him.

    2) We want extra spots on the list.

    3) He obviously wants out and wants to go home to WA.

    4) We have to have "something" in the trade paperwork for Ken Wood to sign off otherwise the AFL won't approve the trade.

    If we could have we probably would have just delisted him.

    Odd hoax, this one.

    Maybe we need a hoax about Cotchin coming over to us.

    Hes gone now, lets move on. I expect demonland to become a lot quieter now

    Mark Neeld, the Coach wanted Gysberts & Morton out, at whatever cost. It's obvious.

    Get over it guys.

    Just came on trade radio Morton for pick 88 according to that source!

    If we end up keeping guys like Bate after we threw away Morton for nothing and Gyberts for not much more, I'll spew.

    I was starting to warm to Neeld...

    Lets put all of our talented, underperforming players into the too hard basket and ship them off to other clubs for trinkets and baubles.

    Lets not put any work into developing any young players on our list, even though most of them have shown plenty of ability at one time or another.

    Lets bring in a bunch of Z-graders to ensure that we are competitive next year and that Neeld keeps his job. God forbid we might have another 4-18 season next year, but actually do something to move us closer to a premiership.

    Let's just be negative at every turn. These guys have had their chance. They have held back the development of the team and now it's time to start afresh.

    Go Dees!

    Could not agree more - absolutely pathetic trades - pick 88 FFS !

    And let's remember - Pederson played 2 games this year - 2 GAMES ! And we let Rivers walk ... plot lost !

    Well done to snapparrazi CIP, who postponed a punt on the Geelong Cup to take the pic of Morton.

    Jay Clark owes him a night out on the town.

    • 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.
