While we’re there, Hogan can line up at CHB and Garlett can assume the role of lock down defender in the back pocket.

TMac is now a forward. A gun forward. 

Yep 0and 3 v a schoolboy side

    We need to be careful not to go too tall and slow against the swans.  Moving  Fritsch back is a good idea can mark and has some pace. Pedo would be a mistake (as would introducing Weid).  Frost has the speed, body and aggression to go with Buddy and Omac is more than a match for Rohan.

     Didn't you know OMac was Polly Farmer and Leigh Mathews reincarnated?

    He should be. Hasn't played since rd 16 and only acted as the runner in the reserves game last week.

    How did Bugg play over the weekend? Would be ironic if I’m the same week Gaff gets a huge suspension for an off the ball punch that Bugg returns against Sydney! 

    Really hope Melksham is good to go, our distribution into the forward 50 suffers without him.

    Wagner for J Smith

    T Smith for JKH

    Oscar Baker must be close and then we would be the only team with two Oscars

    Not gonna happen. OMac is in the team, he’s not going anywhere. 

    Wagner for Smith

    Melks for Vanders/JKH (either one unlucky)

    For info:  Tom Morris 'On the Couch' just said words like don't be surprised if J Hunt lines up for the Dees against the Swans.  Roosy broadly concurred with this approach, saying something like Hunt for Smith speed for speed makes sense ....... followed by the qualification if Hunty's had enough time in the VFL.

    I'd be hitting the Swans with speed this week.  I'd risk a rusty Hunt.  

    In: Hunt and Melksham

    Out: Smith and JKH 

    Bernie is the other who is in trouble.  He was poor against poor opposition on the weekend.

    Not fussed about Hannebery or Rohan.

    Both were stinking it up before their respective injuries. Hannebery hasn't had time to heal his body, the Swans have admitted they're going to effectively rush him back into the seniors because they want him there and not playing NEAFL.

    I reckon on Peddo or maybe Weideman and Macdonald goes down back with bro. We have the scoring power with Hogan and Weideman......... 

    Something for all of us to say “TMac isn’t going down back full time, TMac isn’t going down back full time, TMac isn’t going down back full time...”

    He might be used as a lose and sneak down occasionally when needed to clog up space but he is a full time fwd now.

    Yes and yes

    Rohan would be the danger man if he was available 

    To the Swans? He fluctuates between mediocre and deplorable for fine, with these tiny moments of decent.

    Rohan and Henneberry definitely back this week.Grundy possible. Add that to recent incusions of McVeigh and Jack and the alarm bells are ringing.

    McVeigh and Jack played against Collingwood and if Collingwood had a key defender to play on Buddy Sydney would have lost. Plus both of them are past it.

    Rohan and Hannebery were both woefully out of form before their injuries and they're going to rush Hannebery back into the seniors on their own admission because they're lacking leadership (which is covering for the truth, which is their kids are faltering).

    Sydney deserves respect, but in context.

    • 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.
