Changes vs Bulldogs

No change...  or will we finally see a player or two rested with a relatively short break on the return from Alice Springs?  

Next weeks games are quite interesting as it will see the top 9 play the bottom 9.

I wonder if this has ever happened before?

I think the top nine played the bottom nine last year after the first round which was very bizarre

No change.  

I know it's a 6 day turn around, but we have a 9 day break after this game leading into the Queen's Birthday clash.  We've won by 200 points over the last fortnight, no need to make changes unless we absolutely have to.


No change unless someone needs a rest. Reward brilliant form. Everyone is playing their role. Go Dees!

No changes based on form, but there's also no extra credit for naming an unchanged side for another week.

The shorter week, the fast pace of todays game, heat and the fact we're back at that [censored] hole Etihad next week might necessitate a few changes. 

 

Agree with all above. Stiil cant get over todays performance, just wow.

The only change is the narrative.  Time to take us seriously.  Cats, Hawks and Tiggers damned happy they played us before the Tsunami started.


I would give Lewis a week off, so fresh for queens bday.  Travel and 6 day break on old legs.  I’d bring in Hunt for leg speed.

When was the last time all/most of us didn’t want any changes to the side?

My how things have changed. 

Its a great feeling.

Also the Doggies played Friday night so they will have a lot of extra rest than us.  

Lighter week on the track. No one will want a rest cause they might not get back in.

After the Brisbane game (against GC), players had to catch a flight, so we’re a bit rushed. Tonight they are in Alice, so will get opportunity to recover more like they normally do after a game before flying tomorrow.

 

The boys will be fine...


Goody might do a shorter main training session this week to get ready for dogs. I think Spargo might be an option for a rest but he deserves to play against the dogs.

 

 

The only change I'd consider assuming everyone pulls up sound is Spargo.  That's not a comment on his form which has been fine, but simply that he's young and might need  rest now that he's had a few games at the top level.  Realistically, you'd think a team that's juts won by those margins in the last two rounds would be untouchable though.  Clearly the mix is right at the moment. 

The team is finally playing as that A TEAM so no changes unless someone pulls up sore.

Our best team performance for the year......LOCK THIS THREAD!!


Given the difference in recovery time we might need to switch a couple, and Tom Mac might need to be managed, but on form you'd have to stay with the group.

Almost impossible to make a case for a change .... NO Change.

Weid and Pedersen back to Williamstown.. almost deja vu save that instead of Hibberd they will have Hunt off the backline.

Next week should be a regulation win if we are the team we wish to become.

 

NO CHANGE

  • 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.
