    Disagree.
    We are not a quick side and have even said we were looking at outside run and identified Smith as a possible, for a 3 year contract.

    Just because we had a purple patch in the second half of 2018 doesn’t make us a quick side.

    I think most would agree that Blues and Saints are quicker sides than us and they keep loading up on pace.

    Carlton are not quick just Bs with no proof what so ever, neither are the saints.

    I don't know what planet you are living on if you think Carlton aren't quick? it's about the only thing theyve had going for them for years.

    When did 31 or 33 become third round?

    My bad.

    I saw a whole lot of 3s in the picks and told myself it was a third rounder.

    Point remains: Brown for pick 31 or 33 is a good result (assuming the only other net loss is a slide back from 26 to 28).

    We did, but we’re riding Anthony Van Dyck

    I think North are probably wanting to do the same and have more to offer?

    I am now looking forward to see what we do with the rest of the picks?

    Happy with that. Package up 31 and 33 for the bully's 1st rounder

    Hope you're right and it makes sense as they only need picks for value to match Ugle-Hagan bids. Pick 14 = 1161. Picks 28 + 33 = 1240. Maybe they've agreed to whatever the deal is going to be in consultation with Doggies on what they will accept. This would leave us with 14, 43, 50, 68, 69, 89. Sounds like there will also be some late pick swaps. So a reasonable hand at the draft. Obviously must have someone in mind to get up to pick 14.

    One can only hope on that result. Would be great to land Brown and get back a Round 1 pick.

    with the compo picks, f/s picks and academy picks, pick 31 and 33 will definitely end up 3 rounders

    That is a very good deal - essentially Brown for a late second round.

    The forwards coach is not the only coach that has a BIG job in 21.

    The entire coaching panel do.

    Anything other than a first round pick was always going to be an absolute steal.

    The net trade of Preuss for Ben Brown is the most outrageous piece of swindling since that Canadian bloke traded a paperclip for a house.

    it's not QUITE one red paperclip, but it's not bad!

    to go back seven or so years... josh kelly + jarman impey = christian salem, jayden hunt, marty hore, and ben brown

    The Dogs will want more points premium than that - they're currently 600 short of a bid for JUH at pick 1.

    The best bet for them would be 14 + a fringe player for the 1800 pints they need.

    For example 14 + Ed Richards for 28 + 33 + 43 + 50 would get them there.

    • 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.
