Its obviously gotten to a stage where the AFL has looked at the damage being done to their brand by us being so shiit, and has decided to fix it. CS out PJ in. I mean, its just a departmental shift. Jackson was working for the AFL before, he is working for them now. Now the next phase, where Jackson brings in his fix up crew of AFL bods, including a new coach, then maybe a few players. A good chunk of AFL cash is probably on the way too.

    We can only hope BBB particularly the cash component we are going to need tr Truckloads

    Any way the AFL stooges who take over have to be able to do a better job than this bunch who have proved to be completely shambolic

    Hooray! Free cash! Maybe that'll offset the farcical $500k fine!

    All of these things are OK with me. What's the alternative? I don't think Diamond Joe is lurking in the shadows with his cheque book out (Although with the season quickly turning into a soap opera I could actually see that being our final episode cliff hanger).

    When he was interviewed on SEN PJ said he was first approached by Demetriou to see if he would be interested in taking the job. They said that Demetriou merely suggested to the club that he would be a good fit, but we can all read the subtext there. Still, he's a very good administrator, the AFL love him and we clearly needed something to change. I have absolutely no problem with them pushing him on us right now.

    • 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.
