    The day Petracca joins Brayshaw (and Stretch) in our side is hopefully the day that we see the end of Ollie Wines threads!

    I would now like to update last year's post to draw the comparison from last year's draft when we picked Oliver in front of the highly fancied Parish. Surely this is the comparison needed to silence some of the annual adverse draft commentaries posted by rear-vision Demonlanders ever since the drafting of Watts over Nick Nat. It now seems slightly ironic that PA have now traded with us for Toumpas ( who they would have selected over Wines had they had the earlier pick ), effectively giving us a chance to see if they both can star in the same team. Personally, l suspect that both will feature in PA's B&F in 2016.

    Back to original topic.

    It is a bit of a worry that he still has been unable to join in full training yet, but he certainly is starting to clock some miles and we still have more than two months and three AFL practice games plus maybe one with reserves for him to get himself right.

    What's disappointing from my perspective is that I want Angus to play half back (left side), where his ability to tackle, kick long both sides and mark courageously make him perfect in an Easton Wood type role.

    But I accept that he is running out of time to do all the defensive drills (switch-play practice), so unless he's completely over the hip/OP injury soon, he may have to remain as a wing/half forward early in the season.

    As a result Bugg or Grimes or even White if he excels early may get the half-back gig for Rd 1. Note: I have Melksham as a dead-set cert for other side (right-footers) half-back.

    Lumumba now is looking very doubtful to be available for Rd 1 based on his inability to do running drills yet, but you can't completely rule him out yet.

    • 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.
