I feel little sympathy for a few posters who are posting here in the present tense rather than the original threads intent. 
 

Sharp as bowling balls. 

Not interested in him but very interested in what approach Eagles will use to get out of their present doldrums. My guess is that the Eagles Board will have set finals in three years as the minimum measure. Like Geelong they are not used to losing year after year.

Trade season could be very lively this year

    It reminds me of our 2009 draft with Sc##%y and Trenners. 
    ….

    had another blunt and can’t recall my amazing analogy whatever it was.

    Such a classy move by the AFL to sell the sponsorship rights to player retirement announcements.

    Maybe I should do the same thing on Demonland?

    Yep. Insane thing to do, and all the more nuts because he was an otherwise very reserved AA wingman. He might have even qualified for the AFL “Good Guy Pass™️” if it was seven years later.

    Bradshaw was 18 years old. Smashed jaw and dislodged teeth, in tears with so much pain he wouldn’t let them pull his mouth guard out. Poor Mrs. Brayshaw has had to deal with a lot watching her sons play footy. 

    I read an interview with Andrew Brayshaw, who wanted it known that he’d forgiven Gaff (who incidentally grew up a Dees supporter). In a very eerie coincidence, Andrew Gaff arrived at Andrew Brayshaw’s house with an apology and a bunch of flowers. 

    At least he wasn’t mentally-busted enough to bring wine though.

    If a Pies player retires can you make it 1 ply please?

    Yep. A shame. Dominated the wing like Langdon picking up 30+ disposals every week for a decade but will be remembered for one terrible moment that he clearly regretted instantly.

    I still maintain to this day that he was kindly trying to remove a bit of fluff under Brayshaws chin

    He was probably genuine ….and wasn’t just  trying to avoid suspension.

    Brayshaw was being a pest & illegally holding onto Gaff & stopping him going past. Not an excuse of course but I can understand Gaff's frustrations. If Brayshaw had done that to Ray Biffin or Ditterich things would have been really ugly.

    Yeah, I’d say a busted jaw and several dislodged teeth fits the description of “really ugly”.

    Gaff barracked for the Dees. Unfortunately we lost him to the eagles and somehow couldn’t get him back to the MFC.  Overall he had an excellent career at the Eagles.

    Indeed he did. His mother was a Demon, father a Tiger.

    FWIW my son + Andrew were friends at primary school. We (me + son) went to many matches at the G with Andrew, his younger brother + mother. He was quiet, nice boy. He was (and still is presumably) intelligent, so will no doubt have a successful post football career.

    I tend to agree (and would like to think) that the hit on Brayshaw was an ill timed whack. Cost him a premiership medal.

    Heard exactly the same stuff Winners. He went to my secondary school. Unassuming and a good lad.

    • 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.
