Jacko reminds me of Fitzy when he first arrived at the club a few years back, with that massive mop of hair!

    Could these also be their official numbers?

    24 -Kysaiah Pickett

    17 - Luke Jackson

    20 - Trent Rivers

    Almost certainly, although the jumper sizes would also fit very well with JKH, Frost and Maynard. We might operate just like local Footy, you get the number that fits!

    Pickett really is small going by that picture.

    Heā€™s not tall but remember heā€™s standing between Greg Stanford and Matty Egan.Ā

    no.24 would be so fitting for Pickett as an exciting demon forward. Hopefully adds to the previous highlights of Robbo/Jurrah in that jumper.

    36 would be better, following Flash and Jeffy

    Thanks to those who gave feedback fromĀ training today?

    There has been nothing on the Melbourne website.Ā 

    Who ever is in charge of the media at the needs to be shown the door.

    And of course on the afl site the filth and the bogons seem to be the only two teams in the afl?

    Next saty will be saying an interrupted preseason mightĀ negativelyĀ impact on Tomlinson's season.

    But are they "full time" when they're doing under 50% of preseason?

    Nope if you read the fine print, training times and locations are subject Ā to change without notice.

    And if you read the next line:

    . Please check this page on the morning of each session toĀ confirm the time and date.

    Iā€™m fine with them not even advertising regular sessions. But if they are going to do it they should get it right. Donā€™t bother with a members forum with fancy PowerPoints until you master the basics.Ā

    I wonder what the reasoning for that is?

    They finally reviewed that PF and saw what a team can do it it gets an hour's head start. What if WE do that, they thought. Train as you play.

    I know you do. That's ok. Each to their own.

    On Oliver, when 16 of the best 22 players have surgery pre season the best and fairest becomes a little easier to do well in.Ā

    You also have the Players Association and some past players advocating Ā for a shorter pre season, which is exactly what those interruptees had

    Which is correct?

    So the player's desire for a longer off-seasonĀ is so that they don't need to call it aĀ surgeryĀ interrupted preseason?

    Bit of a Stretch I would've thought.Ā

    That's fine Saty. But last year the *other* clubs didn't have shorter pre-seasons.Ā Though even "shorter"Ā is a misnomer, it was largely non-existent for many, and thus the team as a unit, which more than anywhere else is where we paid the price.

    Astonishing that someone who spends so much time watching training doesn't understand why they do it.

    Imagine what he might have achieved with a full pre-season. Brownlow?

    There's a MASSIVE difference between having a slightly longer break before you begin your proper preseason at full capacity; and having major surgery that means you can't even live your normal healthy lifestyle, let alone do any kind of football or fitness training (which they all do even during non-official training times) before carrying that injury through the rest of preseason as it impacts your preparation; not just for fitness, but for skills, connection with your team mates, learning of game plans and structures and of course new rules that change all of those things from the previous seasons.

    Honestly, what a silly comment.

    • 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 ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ 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.
