He might be open to a sleazy three way deal.

    Being a bit harsh on Nicho, he was actually a lot more effective than people think, just didn't look glamorous. He dropped away in his latter years, which is what people tend to remember.

    James Frawley's another good example of a full back who's athletic ability outweighs his football ability.

    Don't know enough about Tippet....is he strong enough? That would be my concern.

    bit harsh on terlich and jones

    Appalling. In fact I'd go so far as to say disgraceful given their loyal and effective service under great difficulty this year.

    Who's to say they won't improve further with a second preseason under their belts and 20 games experience?

    Jones & Terlich were inspired pick ups given how quickly they transitioned to the AFL.

    It also highlighted just how bad our midfield/side was.

    Magner was our best player in the first three games he played for us. I have nothing against either of them I just think if they're in our best 22, then we are going nowhere.

    You don't get games because of loyalty you get them because of ability.

    Says zilch about his footballing ability though, doesn't it.

    He's been delisted by two clubs.

    No.

    That was a few years ago. Not saying you're wrong, but he wouldn't be the first person for whom the penny dropped once they reached 25.

    Did he even get on the park? He was fairly injury prone. But seems have got it together last few years. Our KPD stocks are low, so mature backup required

    i have a suspicion the club is going to go shopping for KP's next year, supposedly more fish on offer.

    This year is about taller , bigger runners.....theres been a theme

    It's not like we are St Kilda of 2013 and devoid of KPP. So no need to take a substandard one if there is better other types of available. You're right in saying there's plenty on offer next year KPP wise.

    As for this year it's been about midfielders and about a spread of types.

    Taller - Cross, Tyson, Hunt

    Stronger - Michie, Riley, Harmes if he fills out

    Faster - Hunt, JKH, Salem

    More skilled - Vince, Salem, JKH

    Experienced - Vince, Cross

    Ready to break out over next year or two - Tyson, Michie, Riley

    This years draft was about making sure that each and every week for next year and beyond we have some options to play different roles within a much better midfield.

    Maybe Tippett would've been great defensive cover but as it is we can ask Dunn or Garland to play tall, bring in Pedersen for the right match up or even move Hogan to CHB which I think for a short period of cover would be very good for his footy education.

    at the risk of going at a tangent I'll just say theres a theme.. Roos et al have taken a few taller mobiles .

    I tend to agree with The Master in that we have looked to ensure a certain level of ability takes the field each week.

    • 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.
