Thanks Saty.

When you say Academy, do you mean our Academy, and players we have priority access to? Or are they available for all clubs and we're just taking a look?

    If I'm not mistaken, Fritta has been near the front in many of the running drill pics that I've seen this pre season.  I don't remember that of him last year, and if he has added that string to his bow, he will be a weapon and a half on the wing.

    Interesting to see that Joel Smith played ostensible defender on Weed - he was training with forwards earlier this preseason, yeah?

    Was this due to unavailable players, just to give Weed a ‘big’ to be matched up on him?

    Similar, Greg Stafford didn't have Gawn, Preuss or Bradtke so he worked with Keilty and Weid, I reckon it will be after Xmas when most of the rehabbers will be back in action, that we will see the defined lines at training

    But then again Goody is a fan of versatility so we may see some 'interesting' choices

    I aiways find it funny at training, some wear the hats but backwards, obviously not to keep the sun out of eyes, why bother?

    Clarry, Baker and Frost wear a family tub of sunscreen between them

    And because they're too cool to wear this style:

    Based on the photos it looked like they were swapping the white "vest" indicating who was a forward in the contest. I'm quite comfortable with Smith being played as a swing man, either forward or back, depending on what's needed. Can't hurt to try him forward. He has endurance and can take a grab. If he can hit the scoreboard then he could be that third "tall" option.

    True Andy.  If Bedford is good enough, and shows enough, then he'll be rewarded with senior footy.  I feel as though he's a different player to Spargo, but time will tell!

    Bedford speed is ridiculous but has a tendency to really butcher the ball.  Hard as a cats head also

    Must have had a huge downpour at Etihad during the VFL GF.

    Didn't put his body on the line or stand under a high ball.

    He's not a "Goody-type"player.

    For Jeff's sake I hope he proves you wrong ProDee

    I'm sure you'd be happy if he did. Wouldn't you?

    Most hats have a sweat band also. Keeps the sweat out of the eyes

    Some great photos as always Saty. Just wanted to say apart from mentioning the players in your captions you can tag them in the photo itself, that way it will show up in their tagged photos. They might appreciate that more than the captions.

    How can he prove my eyes "wrong" ?

    It's up to him if he changes his behaviours.

    • 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.
