Talk of Nick Reiwoldt taking his position in "On the Couch".

They need an ex coach who hasn't checked out to take the position if they are serious...can't be just an ex players view as they don't have the whole picture.

Wallace would be my first choice but I think he's headed towards retirement.

Please not Nick...

    To be perfectly honest i don't think roos leaving is much loss. i rarely found his comments interesting or particularly insightful. And he often had biases that he struggled to hide.

    Roos offered so little OTC he made Brown and Lyon sound interesting. Sadly nothing could save Healy.

    At some stage to get paid to talk about football you should probably offer more than defend, defend harder and have good culture.

    Paul Roos  insight on our game is second to none and is  hard  to replace  someone of his caliber. He is the thought before the talk.

    Just noticed you wrote Eddie, I thought it was Eade when I read it before.

    I guess that was wishful thinking, it would have made interesting viewing.

    Dumb down Eddie, not so interesting...in fact not interesting at all.

    Yeah, don't know about that one.

    I'm sure he'd offer some great insights, but think he'd put me to sleep with his monotone slow drawl going of the clipits of his press conferences that I recall, although he does also have that bit of a tendency to err on the whacky side of the ledger at times too, so could work.

    Eade would be a good one.

    For entertainment value only I’d give Grant Thomas or Malthouse a go, but then you might as well go the whole hog and drag in Ricky Nixon.

    Congatulations on the layers of meaning in the bolded phrase. Pig allusion, Ru Paul possibilities and RN dragged through the muck

    Roos will be judged on his coaching successes rather than his  TV conversations......If the networks want to pay him for his opinion, then good luck to him.

    Still remains as one of the most revered coaches of the modern era & his contribution to the MFC was significant.

    In other important news, my skid marks are a darker shade of brown during the heatwave.

    It's a bit of a loss, definitely gave a good side to a discussion, would like to see another ex coach in there. I'd suggest Ross Lyon but I'd also assume watching paint dry would be a more pleasurable experience.

    have you tried a good flocculator, biffo?. Bunnings has a good one, even uncle bitters is impressed. by its effectiveness and that's saying something considering the regular state of his under garments

    • 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.
