Nuh mate ‘Straya Day. 

I really hope Melbourne Storm aren't training tomorrow. Demonland will go into meltdown.

    What a great country this is?

    I've been away for a month and I come back, work for a day and then I have a long weekend.

    I'm sure though that the club used to have training sessions on "Straya" Day in the past. I remember dropping in a few years ago to watch them at Gosch's Paddock so it wouldn't have been all that long ago.

    It was to ensure the players/coaches and support staff had a break before Maroochydoor, from what I have been told it ain't gonna be a holiday

    Sue, just wanted to clarify that this isn't a blue at all.  More a discussion than anything else, although I must admit much of what I'm 'discussing' has been done before.  I should know better.

    If you had read what I posted you would quickly realise I haven't picked a fight at all, merely questioned an assertion you made re: selection on an earlier page.  Where have I picked a fight?  I haven't been rude, mean, derogatory etc.  I haven't even gone off topic as a large part of selection is based on training.

    It just goes to show that you won't partake in a proper discussion with anybody, you would rather hide behind your 'opinion' argument than actually do it with maturity.

     

    You go on ignore after this, a discussion is not where you say a persons opinion is completely incorrect and yours is right

    I’m as bullish as anyone about our chances this year but that list doesn’t scream midfield dominance  over too many sides.

    Jones, Oliver and Viney are a good starting group but after that young blokes with potential who are yet to prove themselves as full time mids (Petracca, Brayshaw and Salem), old blokes who are past their prime (Lewis and Vince), a few who are unlikely to be anymore than midfield pinch hitters (Hogan, Bugg, Baker, Maynard, Stretch, Melksham and Hannan). Then there is Tyson who can get the ball fine but would have to be one of the worst left foot kicks in the game. 

    Across the 3 groups (backs, fwds, mids) it is the midfielders that concern me the most. 

    Your definitely on drugs if you dont think we bat deep especially this year 12-14 can go through the guts.

    • 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.
