Not how it works mate. Clubs work a fair way out with their key targets, they don't just randomly pop up in trade week and go 'oh hey we wanna trade for Petracca...'

Wonder if bottoming out was in their their player acquisition strategy. It must have been ! They know what they’re doing !

    Outstanding game of footy by Petracca yesterday and clearly one of the best of his career. Looked "on" from the first minute.

    Listening to him in the Ch 7 post game interview, and I know words aren't everything, but that appeared to be a player that is heavily invested in his footy club and won't be going anywhere else anytime soon.

    the whole group look happy and engaged - amazing the therapeutic value of a few wins. Long may it continue.

    Great call Chook, i went to the footy, noticed how engaged they are with each other, but it was my wife and 14 year old daughter who said out of the blue when i got home and we dissected the game that the "Demon players actually look like mates and that they like each other.."

     

    It shows and that's a really good sign.

    The more we win, the happier the players are, the tighter the group becomes, the less chance they'll want to leave. 

    Pretty simple really. 

    Trac is keen for his pay day, but the only reason he and any of our other stars will want to leave is because they see team success elsewhere. 

    This year was and is so important for that reason alone. Couldn't ask for a better start. 

    Next 4 week block is super important without May and with the hopeful inclusions of BB and Weed. 

    Two wins and two losses is my prediction and that's okay. 

    Let's keep rolling.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
