If Vanders remains fit, and if his form in 2’s warrants it, it will be an interesting selection. As a forward, he is a bull like Petracca, but with much more heart and a bigger tank. I think either Petracca or Melksham would make way. 

As an inside mid, I think  Vanders would force Jones to a wing or half back spot, as I think he has more to offer than Jones in the middle.

Given his pace and tank, he could play a wing position successfully, but if he comes into the side, his best fit may well be down half back. An unusual position for him, but his strength, his defensive attributes and his dash from half back could well be a welcome addition.

    Just a note

    The club has an ex player invited to every main training session now,

    The Wizard was last week

    That is a great initiative by the club, great way to build a link between the players and former greats of our club?

    Probably why it explains Anthony McDonald was down there.

    Maybe Allan Jackovich next week??

    • 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.
