It’s amazing how poor a shape our list is despite Goodwin saying how good our depth was all pre season. 

Got 15-20 players not at AFL level.

    If he retires before the drafts we can replace him. Lumumba retired after the drafts that's why we couldn't replace him.

    I gather it would be a similar situation to Col Garland? But surely his salary still 'counts'. I reckon that was part of the criticism of Franklin's contract - not only that may he not see out the 10 years, but if he didn't he'd still be taking a chunk of their player payments.

    I think his salary still counts hopefully his contract was front end loaded.

    VINCE, PEDERSEN, BUGG, JOHNSTONE, KENNEDY HARRIS

    ROOKIES

    VANDENBERG, MCKENNA

    vandenBerg is only 6 weeks away so hopefully he can prove his worth in the second half of the year.

    McKenna may get delisted then re rookied.

    Good strategy with McKenna but y waste a rookie pick on him he's perpetually injured. We've never seen him play. If he doesn't play this year we must delist him, if he does rerookie him.

    • 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.
