I am sorry guys but I am also a supporter of MacDonald. He is a hard at it type and has a good presence. I personally consider that he has more consistency about him than Sellars and we must remember that the other two were first round draft picks.

His turnovers kill me. Will never be a supporter while that continues and it will. Not up to AFL standard. The day he goes will be the day you know MFC are starting to turn into a real AFL team.

    Bartram's retirement has probably saved one of MacDonald/Sellar. I really hope they now sign Jetta.

    I don't really think it was better than any other season, but whatevs. Each to their own.

    I detest the disposal efficiency stat, so I see nothing in that.

    Its a horrible stat - inside midfielders get crueled by it as they are always getting possies in tight and need to dispose quickly and that can impact the number. To me a backman's disposal efficiency ( especially since most teams play the extra man down back) should be better than an inside midfielder.

    good to see these 3 re commit to the club. I think Sellar definitely has his best footy ahead of him as he was gaining momentum and more confidence in his body the more he played.

    Dunn is a good role player and has his games where he stands up really well. Macdonald is a back who we need imo as he is a big body and has the needed experience for the team.

    2pm tomorrow we will know the fate of davis and jetta pre the draft.

    then I believe we can delist again before list lodgement 3 if we want to participate in the PSD so they both will probably be sweating until the 29th of november...

    Agreed.

    IIRC, a kick which misses the target but is later recovered by the target is also effective. It's just mindboggling.

    Pretty much all depth players, Dunn may have a permanent role but Sellar and MacDonald should be stop gaps.

    = I'd rather stick to my subjective opinion and ignore the facts??

    we have pick 3 in the psd so will are likely to use that in preference to a high pick in the national draft.

    well list lodgement two is up.. now If i am right, we are unable to delist any players until after the draft up to list lodgement three (23rd-29th of november.) if we use all four picks 4.49.53 and 70 in the draft we may still see one of davis/jetta delisted to make a spot for pick3 PSD

    • 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.
