A fit Viney and AVB alongside a fitter Trac and unhampered Oliver ?

    Apologies for the headline straight out of New Idea or Woman’s Day .

    Is there a difference between New Idea and the Herald Sun?

    Yes. New idea is a more reliable source of news.

    This has a very nice ring to it - toss in Brayshaw as a receiver and we may well be away into a big and successful season.

    I thought it was going to be that he now wishes to be known as Christine Petracca and will play for the AFLW team today.

    My first thought too :)

    Interesting take for the author to say Petracca has transformed himself so he can earn himself a large contract next year.  I'd prefer the author said that he has done this in an attempt to get the best out of himself and get the Dees back up the ladder.

    He was ripped this time last year. So what’s the transformation?

    i reckon he’ll be better this year but incrementally as he has done over the last 5 years. 

    team performance hid how good Trac was last year. If we perform well, he should dominate and be in our top 5 players easily

    So true.

    He is coming out of contract. Of course he is going to be fitter and play better. We have only been waiting years for it.

    Don't the best mids also kick goals?

    Not convinced his physical condition has been his greatest impediment... I hope he is focusing as much on keeping his mind ‘switched on’ as he is on dropping a few kilos

    I’m backing Petracca to have his best year with us, a lot of media pundits like to mention the fact that he’s in his final year of his contract so this is the time to shine. But how about the simple fact that he is getting into his peak years and as an age group our club is getting into their peak years. 

    Now is the best time for him to shine because it has the potential to bring others up along with him.

    I hope you are right!

    He could be absolute dynamite if he gets his mind right, to really go for it

    If you want a shock transformation look up what Hibberd looks like now compared to last year. Looks about 20kgs lighter.

    Has the highest ball drop in the AFL.  Drops it from head height

    • 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.
