You'd have to laugh at Collingwood supporters wouldn't you?

I remember when the trade happened they were all saying we were delusional for trading pick 20 for him which ended up being Tim Broomhead and now with Cloke struggling, you'd know they'd like to take that back wouldn't you.

    Broomhead has been BOG a few times in the VFL. Missed a lot of last year I think with glandular. All expectations are he'll be a player.

    Dawes benefits from being an important leader and player with us. His replacement, who was cheaper in terms of money and draft pick has been Jessie White. Not to mention they have Ben Reid injured.

    It's a win-win trade.

    The question for Collingwood is whether they should've kept Dawes, Wellingham, H. Shaw, maybe even Jolly just for finals and gone after winning a flag this year. Hawthorn are faltering, Sydney are looking good but not amazing, Geelong look a bit past their prime, Port need a year or so more. Collingwood fans must love that their rebuild is looking good and that they'll be a competitive side for a long time and build under Buckley. But there must still be resentment that after winning a flag with a really young list they only tried the next year before tipping themselves out of the premiership window.

    They've pretty much said to Swan and Maxwell it's unlikely you'll win another flag and to guys like Reid, Cloke and Pendlebury in their prime that they will go backwards before they go forwards.

    Not a win-win trade until Broomhead plays a game and makes an impact. They could certainly use Dawes in their F50 atm.

    I would say they swapped Dawes for Lynch who they brought in to play the same role. Sure, the picks don't align, but that's what they did. Hasn't exactly been a great move so far for them.

    On draft night I thought the pies had cleaned up with Broomhead.

    It's a sweeping statement but wouldn't the pies have been better off using Broomhead early doors to add youthful vigor in replacement of Chris.

    so the pies aren't swept off their feet ?

    I don't know what it is for the Pies, but it is a huge win for us. Neeld was a horror and some of his moneyball recruiting was way off, but as far as the major/central part of his recruiting strategy he did get a few things very right.

    • 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.
