    Swann would not be doing his job if he did not question the Frawley compensation.

    We are not doing our job unless we question the draft perks of other clubs and the fixture.

    I disagree...Only Mouse and Swine have opined. For what.

    Swanns the new boy in town trying to make a name for himself and Malthouse is becoming increasingly irrelevant by the day.

    The many said nothing and these nongs pipe up. Mahoney was nicely dismissive of both.

    correct - I am not sure why all the angst. If StKilda asked for a compensation pick would we as a club be sitting here quietly ?

    There is a formula in place for free agents but it is not set in stone and there is the facility to "adjust". I believe the Franklin compensation was incorrect but if there were rumblings that the AFL in their wisdom agreed that the formula was wrong in the Franklin case and were going to give Hawthorn the number one pick I would expect our club to jump up and down.

    When subjective decisions are to be made, and if the decision may have a negative impact on our club I would expect our people to make some noise like Swann is doing.

    ( in return - we should also be making noise supporting our case)

    Roos has not been quiet on free agency and all manner things relating to our club.

    We have been lambs in past and it is time we were lions.

    Is it weird I'd be dissapointed if he decides to stay?

    No. The hope of someone new will trump the disappointment of a known quantity.

    Which we did preemptively by appealing for special assistance without expecting to get it. Our appeal was a bargaining ploy.

    Officially gone. Just on MFC twitter.

    I am still disappointed. For all his apparent lack of endeavour this year he is one of the few draftees the Dees have managed to successfully develop into a genuine key position player.

    Lucky the Doggies and now us have had our star players equalised.

    So the reigning premiers have the best fullbacks in the comp to take on Swans again .

    This will prove be one of the best things to have happened to MFC in the not too distant future.

    Of that, I'm sure.

    Frawley needed to leave for both personal growth and for the growth of the club.

    Ok, time to clear him from the mast head. Goodbye and good luck.

    I'm neither surprised or disappointed (probably very few of us are!) ..... and we can now at least have our compo formally determined, and get on with recruiting a player who wants to be a Dee!

    No surprise in the end.

    Sad to lose another quality key player, but his heart was never in it towards the end.

    He cost us the Bulldogs game (and Goal of the year nomination against) by failing to lay a decent tackle on a 19 year old. One of the worst errors of the year. Bye chip

    Now time for the AFL to stand up and give the MFC what we deserve for losing a very important key position player. This will be a big decision in the context of the equalisation in the AFL. Pick 3 is a MUST

    • 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.
