I don't think PJ was brought in for his list management expertise.

And the last time our CEO got overly involved in the football department, it didn't turn out too well

    We should be a top five team! I'm sick of MFC supporters who accept the past fifty years of failure. When I was a little kid we were the top team and had been for a decade. Since norm smith was sacked we've been a bottom feeder club and everyone is surprised when we win a game or get into a finals series, let alone a grand final.

    Viney and Tyson can't get to 100 games fast enough

    That is a good point. Both look very tired and are pushing through their first full season as midfielders. It's a long season for our young blokes and they need help.

    I agree with the original post - it is really, really important that our CEO, as head of corporate decision-making, involve himself more in the football-specific decision-making at the club.

    Because it has worked out so well in the recent past.

    Sigh.

    I thought you were being serious until I read down.

    In 2014 if you are getting smashed in the midfield it is going to be a struggle.

    Peter Jackson and the recruiting staff can't just click their fingers and improve the list overnight.

    Generally the last 2 draft/trade periods have been an obvious improvement on what went on before that. Can't see that Todd Viney and Jason Taylor have done too much wrong.

    Why Peter Jackson?

    We don't need our CEO stuffing around with the football.

    Non competitive , can't run, do not spread, lazy, cannot kick goals!!!!!!

    Sub standard bunch of footballers......with big pay packets

    How the hell do you expect people to turn up to games?

    How the hell do you expect members to sign on again?

    Stuff me...this is farcical for supporters of this club.

    Not sure it's up to PJ. He's gone and reshaped the FD. It's now up to the FD to shape and reengineer the list.

    Young guys should have more energy. Being younger is no excuse.

    Being young is a very valid excuse for fatigue late in the season. It takes years to build your fitness to an elite level not one pre season. All our younger players are feeling the pinch. Viney,JKH,Salem and Tyson can't keep it up all year. Viney touched on this in his interview after the game. Viney at 25 will destroy the viney that ran around today.

    Ill-informed comment.

    Not sure if you watch the Tour de France, but the young rider classification is for riders under 26 ... that's about how long it takes.

    Trade Watts. He's our past and if we can get a good up and coming midfielder for him then adios.

    Exactly ... Remember what the last CEO did????? This is why our list & culture was screwed!

    Jackson has got the right people in place for the long term success... As frustrating as it is ... It's the list Roos inherited & his team will sort out who can stay & be developed & get the right players in.... Will take more than 1 season to fix a 6yr train wreck!

    Yeah right on. I have only just realised that i have accepted 50 years of failure. My god what i was thinking!

    Thank you so much macintosha for helping me see the light. Now that i have i expect that from here on in we will rarely be beaten and the flag that is rightfully ours will happen in 2015. I'll book my tickets now.

    Thanks again macintosha. Keep up the good work (by the way i do wish you had told me earlier as i would have loved to have seen a flag this year)

    • 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.
