    Dawes CHB? Really? Backline suspect? I think it is the midfield, fwd line suspect which have both been bolstered.

    The last thing I want is someone we recruited as a forward being used in the back line.. (:P)

    Any chance that the blue shirts ARE the probables and that say Joel Macdonald is really in there and the white shirts with Watts and Dunn really are the possibles?

    Any chance that who is in what colour changes every training session, you even have blue with blue sometimes as well, maybe the match simulation will show something, but even that is usually evened up

    I'd guess it's probably based on a competitive points system, like other drills.

    The best performers in other drills win the coveted spots on the A team.

    I remember something about a depth chart being used (at least certainly when they were in Darwin). Be interesting to know if this was being continued as a method of motivation during training.

    There'd also be a chance that in certain drills you'd put your A backline against your A forward line and A midfield, to give them a tougher workout. Chip Frawley should practice against the best we can muster, know what I mean?

    Makes sense, but wouldn't you also want your A backline delivering to your A midfield?

    • 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.
