A bit of hysterics happening here, I clearly remember him getting bagged by a lot of posters last year blaming him  for continually slowing down our ball movement.

    I don't blame him. He's a talent and wants to play at the highest level. Doesn't mean he's not a team player he's most likely very frustrated. I think he is better than the 2 players you mentioned.

    Clearly the coaching group don’t think so. The right call to omit him for Pickett.

    Absolutely but I just thought on current form he's been much better than Sparrow. Pickett was always coming in.

    As a player, I like Jordan, think he he has a lot of upside. I also think Sparrow has far more potential as our next inside bull. I just don’t see where Jordan fits, and maybe neither does he

    Sam Weideman had plenty of potential

    Sam Weideman had 3 more years in the system. Please, do you really want to go there?

    I've put a calendar reminder on for April 2026 - I'll get back to you after I review Sparrow's SANFL game then

    Think that'd be more dependent on Melbourne the side rather than Sparrow the player

    Quite amazing, as the Coach describes JJ’s game as “ exceptional “ and then drops him.

    It’s still early in the season, but I am starting to get a Scott Thompson feel about this. Hope I am wrong.

    i'm tipping jj will be the sub.  makes sense.

    Me too as Melksham has been named for Casey.

    Not the first time he's been the sub at Optus and that game was pretty special.

    I thought JJ was more than decent in our win against Sydney last week. He did very well in the middle imo, I would’ve kept him in.

    lol. he is no scott thompson

    it was either him or sparrow. JJ unlucky.

    He had a great game, and is super stiff but when I look at the 22 it's really hard to drop someone ahead of him, with Sparrow being the only option.

     

    With Gawn a walk up start to come back in, I suspect that a small forward (either Spargo or Chandler) will make way as well.

    Salem is going to add significant pressure to Hibbert, Bowery, Rivers or McVee as well.

     

    I do think it is particularly important to make sure that the young guys get as many games as possible to ensure we keep the depth and the list profile/renewal. Sparrow and JJ in particular need to play as often as possible so they are there and ready. Losing them will put a hole in our list profile long term.

    Don't think we're comparing players, more circumstance

    While I’m against him being dropped after last weeks performance, bumping his MFC welcome thread as a morbid representation of his foreseeable departure is a bit dramatic isn’t it? 🤔

    Why is everyone getting a Scott Thompson feel? He played every game in 04 until he got injured.

    Maybe good for a first round pick swap plus player next draft ......with a really low Team.

    Goodwin says a lot of strange things in pressers. The two recent ones that come to mind are:

    1) adamant rather than confident that May would play in round 2.

    2) continually and supremely confident Jackson would stay -  “loves his footy club”

    I wouldn’t be surprised if JJ does suit up Sunday whether it be sub or a late replacement for Hibberd. I don’t recall an MFC player to ever be dropped after the level of output that JJ gave to the club last week.

    He will be the sub. With Kossie back we have another forward option so Melksham probably won't get the gig.

    • 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.
