Very interesting.

But when are those so-called media professionals who run these pressers, and especially the post-game pressers, going to make the questions that are asked audible?

    Spot on Roosy.....free agency will make the competition less uneven! Makes a good point only 2 players didn't end up @ their club of choice pre free trade commencing!

    If ant broke don't fix it!

    How good is it to have a respectable voice on all matters AFL just so happen to be a part of our club? Roos brings us relevance in a time when we probably don't deserve as much. He also is willing to have a crack at anyone. I wish I could intelligently tell people they are tossers like he does.

    He really owns these types of pressers.

    Made very sensible comments on Clark and pumped up his value.

    Was blunt about the problems in free agency - about as blunt as he could possibly be.

    Was clear about wanting people who want to commit to the club and be part of what he wants to do and essentially couldn't care less about Chip.

    Really, really good presser.

    One point that came across to me is that a three way trade between ourselves,Geelong and C'wood is very much on the cards. We get Lumumba, Geelong get Clark and Geelong gives up a player or pick to C'wood.

    Agree 100 percent - the media conference are obviously not run by professionals. Professional media would always require the questioner to have a microphone.

    Another bit of sloppy work by AFL.

    He only wants blokes who know the real meaning of commitment.

    Hope we end up with players like Jack at the Swans, ready to die for the cause.

    Viney , Salem, Cross, Tyson etc.

    He'll get them.

    Things looking up.

    Was happy to hear he wouldn't give up Picks 2 & 3 for a big fish.

    Interesting he mentioned Toump as one of the young talents on the list. A show of faith perhaps.

    I did notice that, but also that he was mentioned last and almost as an afterthought after guys like JKH, who are obviously ahead of him in Roos's mind.

    Didn't think it were possible for Roo's to go up in my books, however he just did.

    I thought it was more of a swipe at the AFLPA, BB. I think he'll be safe from the wrath of AFL House in any case.

    • 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.
