Too fat, too slow can't kick. I'm calling it right now BUST! Drop him and trade him.

THOUGHTS?

    You can’t just single him out. 

    We are collectively woeful right now and Goodwin needs to start earning his money.

    Give me McCartin any day. Even with how rain would have given him concussion today. Still has more heart than him

    Wish I could change my display name .   Very lazy footballer with no tank.  Also cant kick.  So disappointing.

    Trade. Cut your losses. Don’t wait until he has no value like Watts.

    Bingo.

    Trac aint the problem.  He is out of form for sure, as evidence by some of his errors tonight, but the issue is so much more around how we are playing at the moment in terms of our game style.  Chris Scott out coached us big time tonight.

    Drop him and get rid of him at seasons end.

    I think that time has already passed. Only club that picks up players with no heart, no fitness and horrible skills is the one putting him up for trade!

    Dogged it a few times and gets front and centre when he is a one on one contest.. should have stuck to BBall- could be Ben Simmonds boot keeper still

    Put him on the wing and tell him to play like dipper a fat Italian who could actually play.

    Need to have football basics drilled into him. Whether that’s VFL or AFL level I don’t know. He just makes far too many fundamental mistakes with the basics of the game. His strength and power are impressive, but aren’t utilized in games and therefore become irrelevant.

    He needs to drop five kilograms and have a stint at Casey.

    He needs a stint in the twos. Needs to learn to be a team player

    He needs a genuine kick up the [censored].

    he plays like a guy who was just that much bigger then the other kids as a junior and believes his own hype in the way he gets around but has been found wanting playing in the big time amongst grown men

    seems to just wait for things to happen and doesn’t go anywhere near hard enough or with any purpose or conviction.

    a spell at Casey might do him good but a reinvention ofhis body shape could be in order.

    • 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.
