The Fillopovic reason is truly bizarre.. rest him for 2 works of not playing on the assumption that hes on a low base? Yet hes had a full pre season??

Brilliant.  We have to beat the Saints this week.. we can then get on a huge roll with gun players coming back and hopefully at or close to full strength.


11 players mentioned as injured (weeks)  provided Petracca is back and Hogan is okay. 

Of the 11, really only Viney and Salem out of our best 22.  Hoping they are only 2 weeks away and we can setup for a big run of wins.

Morris has no credits in the back at all.

Play him in the seniors he's too important to play in the VFL.

 

Don't know where he says he unequivocally does NOT want to play VFL, but I am sure that is the case and fair enough.

Will probably still play VFL i reckon

Obviously very good news to hear he isn't far off.  But i caution anyone who thinks he will return as the Viney we all know launching us even further ahead on ladder etc, at least in his first 3 to 5 matches.

Most players usually have an average return to the game (vs their usual standards) when coming off a very interrupted pre-season (or none at all) and tend to have some up and down results during the remainder of their season.  After such a long lay off i can't see this being any different for Jack (albeit his main game is a rung above most, so lessor results should still be pretty damn good).

Will be a great day when he finally runs out!  Then there's the effect on team moral.  Now that might have a substantial impact even if Jack is having some ups and downs so you might get the outcome you are hoping for Petracc!

In and of itself that doesn't mean much.

Fair enough.

We currently have 5 top 22 players on the injury list while the Saints have 2.


Too bad theres no training thread this week, would love to know how JV is looking.  Cant wait to see him back out there cracking opposition skulls and tearing games apart.

  • 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.
