One thing we can be sure of in life, every year all AFL clubs are thrilled on draft night, with the boys they drafted.

That is true, or at least what they say. But more importantly, I think we can feel a lot better so far this year than after the draft period last year.

Yeah nah but how long is the coach going to be around to DEVELOP them ?

 

Yes it's true that every club thinks it did well in the draft but one of the most idiotic exercises is the one where so called "experts" rate the clubs on a scale of 1 to 10. You can only really do that if you look at the totality of a club's recruiting efforts - trades, free agency and all of the drafts.

In that respect, I think we're tracking well because we've made significant changes to our list and addressed our most glaring weaknesses. Now it's up to our coaching and fitness staff and the players themselves to put the icing on the cake.

Agree. And most of them were lamenting Brisbane's loss of five players, most of whom struggled to get a game or had made little impact. It was the death of their club. Now they laud them for having a strong draft and getting Aish, Taylor and Cutler and Co.

  • 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.
