The way I see it we will need to do a player trade for either Frost or Garlett, we won't have enough picks.

Or...

23 for Garlett and 28

28 for Lumumba

Clark and 60 for 35 and 54

54 for Frost

Still have 35 in the bag after all that.

    Honestly can't remember the last time we had so many players select the MFC as their choice of destination.

    The Blues had the best small forward combination a couple of years back one left last season the other will be gone this trade period. Add Waite into the picture and Carlton has lost it's Full forward Line from two years ago.

    And so far replaced them with Liam Jones. :D

    On trade radio, Essendon or Melbourne. The problems at EFC ruled them out. BOOM!

    Yeah, us being able to field a side next year puts us ahead. ;)

    Paul Roos.

    On trade radio - Pickering (his manager) said Roos has an appealing role for him, not just as a small forward but more up the ground in the midfield also

    Our man Roos is a genius. So good at selling.

    Garlett hits me as the ideal player for the rope-a-dope style of footy, where you flood your back line to soak up and stop the opposition then want to quickly counter attack while your forward line is open.

    Garlett also offers ability at ground level if we're not playing the counter too. He's a great fit if his mind is in the game and he brings discipline.

    Ryan O'Keefe type role?

    At his best he applies good forward pressure too!

    I love that Roos brings in players to carry out a specific role in his game plan, rather than the idiotic scattergun approach Norf Melbourne take by bringing in whoever's available only to lose one of their best midfielders as collateral.

    Line-breaking and bouncing are massive flaws in modern MFC footy.

    Harry, Garlett, Varcoe (heading west?) is the injection we are clearly after.

    Looks like Roos year 1 went for inside mids; year 2 for line-breaking outsiders.

    Roosy can get the best out of this kid.

    Carlton mates used to rave about Garlett

    If we can stitch up Jeff & Harry O this week for second round picks we have done well in stage 1

    Blease, Strauss and the kitchen sink.

    We offered that 3 for 1 offer to Carlton already but the baulked at the suggestion - their unrealistic offer was a straight swap Gartlett for the kitchen sink.

    Paul Roos.

    We are seriously lucky to have him at the club but he is the only selling point we have at the moment

    Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

  • Quote

    He may have some issues but as a player geez he is talented and electric

    Just you, two players that their current clubs don't want anymore doesn't make us a top 8 team.

    No he doesn't.

    No, unless we get a decent tall goalkicker then I think we will seriously struggle to kick winning scores. I'm not letting the promise in the off season get me again !! I only see us winning 6 to 7 games but who knows really.

    Probably counting the chickens before they've hatched there

    Holy moses, it must be pre-season already.

    What happened in 2014, why is he so out of favour at Carlscum?

    I saw very few of there games this year apart from our victory.

    Just you I think, mate, but I love the optimism.

    • 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.
