Gotta say while Geelong did extremely well, it still brings me joy that they got lots of aging players and lost a 22 year old superstar. 
Go to hell Geelong!

    True that, but if you thought your mate was - though great to hang out with - not much chop on the field, wouldn’t you be content just to catch up with him at BBQs?

    He obviously feels he has something to offer on field Mel.  He also might have had the inside running of what went down at the Crows with camp etc and the effect it was having on players.  Bit of a reference also to calm any concerns of the hierarchy.

    Jenkins caught up with Scott when they were both holidaying in the U.S. so the discussions were well and truly under way a fair way before draft time.

    I suppose my question would be, why weren't we having those same discussions?

    What's to say we didn't Loges?

    This is where, post the trade, i would like to see our media side get on the front foot a little more.  Connect a little more openly with supporters and answer a few of the significant questions such as where were we at with Jenkins?  Was he ever on our radar etc?  View on Martin going forward?

    Not expecting full disclosure and giving up of trade secrets but just a little more 'give' to the members/supporters with a bit of an insight into what the thinking was on some players that looked like a potential 'fit' but we didn't go after or land for whatever reason.

    The trade wrap interview with Mahoney made for a very 'glowing' assessment overall but gave us no real (new) insight into the FD's thinking/workings.  Just another fluff piece really.

    You listen to Wells on SEN this morning he was giving clear insight into their reasoning for particular trade decisions/outcomes (Stevens, Kelley & Jenkins) including details such as that i mentioned on Jenkins meeting up with Scott on holidays and his thoughts on not trading Kelley out last season, the current non-AFL ready fitness state of Stevens including his mindset etc.

    • 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.
