I hope Toumpas and Trengove get along well, because they will be in very similar headspaces with very similar missions from now until the start of next season.

Tapering form beforehand, and an injury layoff that ends their chance of putting things back together this season.

I'm setting my mind to the idea that, come next season, we will have two fresh, motivated, determined midfielders ready to contribute. Not necessarily stars, but functional parts of the midfield mix that bring us that much closer to fielding a 'complete' team each week.

I choose to be optimistic about it all.

I dont!! Bad bad selections at the time IMO it will cost us but you are entitled to be optimistic if that is your style I hope I am wrong

    surely evans will be moved on. I thought he was going to turn into a really good midfielder.

    Unfortunately, I tend to agree.

    At the start of this year, I had thought Evans, Michie and Toumpas would have really good years this year. Was obviously on the money with that prediction.

    I had also thought Jamar was finished. And that Pedersen, whilst having some talent, was never going to make it at AFL level. On the money again.

    I was surprised Jetta got elevated. I now think he's our next Matty Whelan.

    That said, I have always rated Dunn.

    ... plays each week against tradies and blokes that train 2 nights a week ...

    Think you'll find VFL players do quite a bit more than that.

    Laying into JT already??? Really??? Bit early don't you think? Evans yes but not Jimmy.

    Get well soon boys.

    No - you consider them bad selections NOW not "At the time" - please post any past reference to where you suggested that either were a bad selection "at the time"

    • 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.
