Just had a listen to Captain Jack's 3AW interview, The boys just seem so much happier and more relaxed. It certainly looks that way a training.

I agree with Gerard Healy's comments introducing Jack that he played a great game on Friday against the Tiges. His defensive work was first class as was his run out of defence. He seemed to be moving freeer that in the past and had more zip about him than I remember.

This may be the year we see what this young man can do, I certainly hope so.

    I liked his game also. His ability to think his way out of trouble is top notch and i love that Roos has him back where he plays his best footy.

    Good interview, sounds pretty relaxed and very positive. Talked about the game plan and it seems that the players get what Roos is after. Said Roos had taught it to them in blocks.

    Also was asked about trenners and says he is fresh and in great space.

    I'm loving how positive everyone at the club sounds. I'm feeling the love!

    I thought his run from defence was great, especially through the centre square early on and delivering inside 50. I don't remember him being so quick!

    Big year ahead I hope

    Yes, Jack is a beauty! Just hope his body continues to hold up so that he can strut his stuff. He's had a horror run with injury. Would be so nice if that could all be behind him.

    I have been saving for two years he is a great Half Back.

    Not a Mid fielder, I know we had no one but he was crucified in that role.

    If they leave him at HB there is a lot more of that to come in 2014

    Agree OD. Love him running out of defence. Hope he can play a full season though - he's had some shitfull injury probs.

    If most improved is the difference between last year and this years impact excluding injury or first year at Dees then Trengove and Strauss for me.

    should be healthy competition for the small defender/half back with Strauss, Terlich and Clisby

    Don't get me wrong I love Grimesy and have everything crossed that he has an awesome season. But his clangers and turnovers are holding him back from being the elite player he should be. I just hope, hope, hope he can grow out of them.

    It's interesting that we got him at pick 14 because of his back problems and without them he was touted as a top 4 pick. It looked like a steal if he could come good physically. It looks like he has come good, I'm really looking forward to seeing the pick 4 performance we are hoping to get from him.

    I'm with you.

    Love lots about his game - just needs to tidy up his finish.

    • 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.
