As you said earlier rpfc, we were sold a talented kid with a bright future, and instead we received an instant gun.

    Very astute call by Damien Barrett to say we lost out in the Josh Kelly trade.

    Barrett knows what he's talking about, though, and he delivers his views in a completely unbiased manner. Just cold, hard facts.

    Yes, and I am still wary...

    I bet he is a sleestak!

    I've also heard Salem rated ahead of Kelly from someone involved in TAC footy.

    rjay what is your background with junior footy? You seem to have a good handle on it.

    Heard Robert Shaw say that.

    He coached them both. Said they would both be great players.

    Salems TAC cup strike rate for BOG was better than any TAC player last year - and by some margin.

    It read like his best games were better than others - and he could do it on a more consistent basis.

    Throw in Salems blend of skills, precision, toughness and poise, we have a very unique and well rounded player.

    As for Dom Tyson, wow. I got rid of him out my supercoach thinking he'd slow, I thought he couldn't possibly keep it up - but he has gone to another level.

    Viney played super today as well.

    He is one of the most well rounded midfielders I've seen at Melbourne.

    YOU hate to jinx him but... I haven't seen a midfielder that looks this good in my lifetime. Stynes a ruckman and Flower a wingman don't count as midfielders. Viney snr and Tingay were guns and Woey had 1 brilliant year but I think DT has all the attributes to take it to the next level.

    I noticed him a few times at pre-season training this year. He has a huge bum with a low centre of gravity so has that smooth low movement look about him. It is his kicking that is his strength and his weakness at present. This will become more consistent as he matures. But he has a huge engine, and rarely gets moved off the ball at a stoppage.

    I agree with a few people above - I can't remember a Dees midfielder with his class in a long time. Tingay maybe, before he was injured.

    He seems to have a great temperament for the game, he doesn't seem to get phased by heavy treatment and just gets on with the job. Great left foot over a distance and is getting better over the shorter distance.

    Thanks Giants.

    Why have we always done better with trades than drafts? Powell, Beemer, Bizzell, Tyson, Dawes, Clark (before injury) and many others over the journey have always seemed pretty good. The one's I was sad to see go - Spalding, Thompson, Farmer (although we got plenty of service), Rivers etc has still been below par for what some other clubs lose. The Brownlow trades (Templeton/Moore) were 50/50 imo.

    But overall so happy with Tyson.

    • 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.
