Because he's not coming, it's quite simple really. 

People need to actually start accepting that he's never coming to us. He's hellbent on Carlton and that's it.

Off to hell it is!

    Well it is relevant its the new age of player power. When they saw they want to get to a certain club then they will get there. Rarely do they EVER have a change in mind. In fact last I can think of is Mitch Clark putting out a statement requesting a trade to Freo only to back flip and sign at the Dees for bigger ??

    He'll be at 2 clubs next year and it will be either Carlton or the Suns.

    It's time to really knock this on the head and move on.

    He doesn’t have to have a change of mind though, we can just take him prior to Carlton can’t we. Assuming it wouldn’t completely stuff up the salary cap for one year, I’d take him and sit him out if he didn’t want to play then trade him

    Why on earth would you do that? Weird.

    He actually plays as a small, tall forward, not a tall, small forward.

    Could not agree more. No way we want Martin with his price tag and really just a player for that price. Whereas Bennell at peanuts and get him fit will be a huge bonus for us.

    Why worry about the price tag?

    We have a min cap that has to be paid. If there's space, I'm all for it. The cap can be reshuffled in 12 mths tome to accommodate new contracts with others. I don't know why posters are concerned with contract amounts when we have no real idea of our position.

    Having said that, I still think he's off to the Blues.

    The problem is not spending the cap, it is telling our players we can only pay them so much, because of the cap and then offering a large amount to a player from another club.

    That breeds mistrust and disharmony.

    Or then there's the Richmond model where players openly say it doesnt concern them what others are paid as long as there is success. I heard Jack Revoldt say that very comment about Lynch coming to the tigers. 

    I highly doubt the club would openly use the SC as an excuse for not signing an existing player. That's just flat out poor contract dealing (I'm looking at you Adelaide!).

    If Martin was to turn around and agree to come to us, which is very unlikely, the FD should absolutely do what they can to fit him in, short of a breach of SC. All clubs would have a Plan B for such events. 

    Players sook about what others are paid in clubs with poor culture and poor communication. If that is us, then we get what we deserve. I don't think it is though, or I bloody well hope not.

    • 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.
