westrup to debut

Really a leaps and bounds project.

Mostly backwards.

    Do you want to elaborate? Agree JKH couldn't make an impact, but it wasn't from the lack of trying

    Unfortunately, yes it was.

    He looked like he didn't care a lot on the weekend. Disinterestedness was plastered across his face unless he was able to get out in space and present. There's more to AFL than that, especially when you're playing against the best of the best.

    I'm not advocating dropping him as I think (hope?) it was an aberration and that, usually, he makes us a better side.

    Grimes as a Co - Captain will come straight back in if fit to play so there will be one change at least.

    Our turnovers just went up by 25%

    I really think Grimes needs to earn his spot back, before he was injured he was playing terrible footy.

    I really would love to see Watts get dropped, so sick of his lack of desire for the ball, it's getting worse. But sadly this will not happen.

    And people are saying M.Jones is tired, didn't he just get back into the team? So he should have a cup of warm milk and a lay down for a weekend? WTF?

    Leave the team as is, have JKH as the sub.

    Out: top deck of all the stands at the G

    In: plenty of car park spaces

    In further positive news for the Demons, young midfielder Jimmy Toumpas is also expected to return for the Scorpions this weekend.

    Hoges and Toump both back

    Hope they play well and come into the MFC team for the final 2 games

    I reckon JKH might possibly be showing the effects of long hard season on a kid playing against men for the first time. Nothing more!!

    you almost won the Tattslotto?

    No, he didn't.

    That's the joke...

    No, he didn't.

    That's the joke...

    I think he got the joke and was making one

    I know, and I then did the same, and then allowed someone to make a joke on my joke thinking it was a non-joke.

    Apparantly according to the radio, BOTH Melbourne and GWS are desperate to lose this game, to get Petracca. They're obviously speculating but it's interesting that people still perceive us this way.

    Whose "the radio"?

    The Saints have last spot all but sewn up. It's very difficult to see them winning any of their three remaining games.

    Both sides will be out to win. People who say anything different are simply pot stirring.

    The worst thing about the whole tanking situation is that from now on any time a team might conceivably benefit from a loss, any loss they actually DO have will be looked at suspiciously.

    • 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.
