My thought was that, as soon as I saw he was delisted, there would be a thread about him on Demonland. 

No from me.

    Would rather his running power on a wing over anyone else we have. Could be a good plug for a couple of years for a packet of chips. 

    Certainly helps with our obvious inside/outside imbalance. 

    Maybe he's the perfect moneyball trade.

    I think the club is beyond getting a player at 30 years of age. But if he landed in our lap for minimum chips why not.

    My thoughts exactly, although thought there could be merit in getting a replacement 30+ year old premiership player on the list!

    Probably a backup option in case the Langdon / Tomlinson (if we’re getting him for the wing) deals fall over

    Jesus h chr ist!!! He’s 30?! He just came into the league as the next new you gun!! That’s nuts.

    And Uhm no thanks, he’s lost the pace for the game and his skills have never been that great.

    Yes as a DFA, absolute upgrade on players we’ve already delisted and Stretch, JKH and Wagner. Let’s remember that our bottom six getting a game are very ordinary, I base how we’re looking at these six. Not every player we bring in can be a star but they can be an upgrade on our lower end players.

    For those with short memories here is the 2007 draft in which master was taken, There are some interesting names and he was taken pick 3 just before Cale Morton. McEvoy at 9 and Dangerfield at 10 with Rioli at 12 wow. Shows that the gems can be later than expected. Furthermore Tarrant at 15 harry taylor 17 and Alex Rance 18. For me I think we can do better than Masten

    Wasn't he part of the Judd trade?

    Yup.

    I believe West Coast asked for picks 1 and 3 for Judd.  When Carlton refused, they asked for 3 and Kennedy.

    Cale Morton.... forgot about him. Looking at the top 10 players he wasn’t the only dud.

    Look at all those names we poo pooed to get Morton.

    We're our own worst enemy.

    When you take out Hurn and Jetta kicking it to you and take out the options of kicking it to Kennedy and Darling are we sure Masten is better than JKH and Stretch?

    The basic stats on this year say he wasn't.

    Upgrading the bottom end of the list is smart if you're upgrading to an AFL quality player, I'm not sure Masten still is one. I'd probably stick with one of our own guys who's still young enough to improve or take a chance with the draft.

    We should be rewarded for not screwing with the careers of Dangerfield, Rioli or Rance. Morton had a heap of talent and no development.

    have I lost it?

     

    Edit

    Hmmmm, maybe it was 3 + 21 + Kennedy for Judd and crap pick?

    • 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.
