yes, he really is that slow

his kicking is up and under and he doesn't hit the scoreboard

he wouldn't improve our side one iota

Fair enough, we don't need poor users of the ball.  Thats why Tyson is out.

    Whats Anthony Miles like, anyone been watching?

     He's in an age bracket that would suit us.

    Two things for me, Danger is a terrible kick, even Crows fans will say that, and Jones' 2m handballs out the back of packs normally go where they're meant too.....:lol:

    hell no to armitage. injury prone, slow and poor skills.  no to gaff as well. I'd be all up for bringing in aaron hall. His best is very good and was leading the brownlow last year (or the year before) after the first 4 or 5 rounds from memory.

    i wonder if weitering is worth chasing as a kp defender ? i'm sure with a better structure around him he could recapture his debut year form. is still only 20

    Would be nice dc, but can't see him leaving the Boos

    they have dropped him a few times this year and they are looking at a big turnover this year so might be interested in some ready to play players plus a pick

    I'd like to see the club target Jane Bunn. Seeing we are now struggling to play the MCG and our game plan is more suited to Etihad I think Jane would be quite helpful on getting first hand info and long range weather forecasts, helping us prepare for the wet and windy well before our opposition. She could also be quite helpful in ways to prepare and recover from our NT games, particularly Darwin if we continue. Another advantage would be knowledge of destinations and changing weather patterns for interstate games. IMO she should be our first priority over Gaff.

    Looking at the background, she may have already joined the Bombers. An experimental drug injection program would actually explain a couple of.... things.

    Zac Jones coffs it up as much as Tyson. Hopefully he can clean that area up like his brother did. Gaff is the only one I would go for.

    No he didn’t. Nathan Jones turns it over all the time.

    Would be interesting to talk to Anthony Miles. How much does he want to prove the tigers wrong, that he can play in a senior 22 squad, or has missing out on a flag and playing VFL killed his spirit?

    if he still wants success he could be a gun recruit

    Fascinating. I wonder if it's a comparable situation to Schache for the Dogs second round pick. Or in our case as they don't need picks, for a comparable player like Tyson

    Brian Wilson not unlike Miles and look what he became.... A Brownlow Medalist and integral cog for John Northey in the late 80ts

    Go Get

    Miles is another NQR I reckon - not sure he’d replace anyone as an inside mid for us

    Haven’t seen enough of him to know exactly. But if he is close to selection, but not getting there, he may be a good senior recruit who has a point to prove. 

    Stephen Powell comes to mind, no one saw his 2000 season coming...

    carlton wouldn't get rid of weitering.. he's gonna be a pillar and leader of their team one day. but, in saying that, i would trade tyson for him every day of the week. win-win for both clubs.

    • 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.
