The 199cm ruckman being forced to play out of position in the ruck? Not sure that’s something to get too upset over.

The absolute best version of Jackson is if he can be great as a forward and mid but it’s also going to be having him in the ruck so we get 4 mids.

My attempt at humour got lost in text form.

    13 injured players in pre season when we were meant to be flying with a nearly  full squad.

    This is why I am now ignoring pre season.

    Add Spargo and Tom MAC to make it 15.

    Great to see that our injury list still includes Vandenberg, Kolodjashnij, Smith, Nietschke and Hannan. The same five fringe players who crippled our depth for (almost the) entirety of last season. Add Bennell into the mix and we are carrying far too many players who miss far too much football.

    If May, McDonald and Gawn don't play 20 games each this year we are screwed.

    That injury list is not as big as it seems, Gus is fine his fit and has done almost all of the preseason, only resting his elbow and he has not missed 1 running session, tmac at this stage is not injured, just a slight rolled ankle, may will be back running next week, gawn has done the whole preseason, and will be back running next week, Smith is fine was kicking only on left not because of injury, but was told to only kick on that foot for practice, MFCSS  is going into overdrive with fake news.

    Edited by don't make me angry

    [censored] settle down.

    Of that list, the only ones that are certain "non-starters" for Round 1 would be Bennell, Preuss, KK and Nietschke. 

    The rest we either don't know their situation eg. Smith (full training today) and VDB, or they are close to being back in the main group. 

    I'd argue that out of those 4 certain non-starters maybe 1 is a best 22 but he hasn't played for 4 years. 

    Of the rest of the "injury list", I'd only have Brayshaw, Gawn, May and McDonald in best 22. Brayshaw's elbow will be right, Gawn will be right come round 1 as will McDonald. Hopefully May as well.

    Hannan's knees are fine, it was groin related, he is nearly back in main group

    I spoke to Mitch Tuesday last week and he said he was 1 1/2 weeks away from joining the main group. I would say that means this Friday or at the latest next Monday.

    Either TMac has a hand growing out of his shoulder, or that's a free kick, unfortunately. Hope he's being pulled up on those sorts of things so they're rectified prior to the season proper. (The LJ free kick I mean, not TMac's 3rd hand)

    How’s the Riv been tracking? Does he look as though he’s a chance for round 1?

    I can see why Jason Taylor was anxious on draft night 2, just looks classy, may be a bit early, earn his spot at Casey 

    Beautiful kick

    Who is getting married? A wedding should only be stressful if you are the one getting married, or its your child, (Or if you are the photographer/caterer/bridal party/videographer etc)

    Don't worry about the injuries until we start adding top 10 players with long term issues.

    Reckon we will go alright this year. When we do i will be happy to buy you a calming wine at one of the MCG bars.

    P.S. good luck with your post surgery recovery.

    It’s my wedding. Wedding planning is about as enjoyable and good value for money as being a Melbourne member. 
    A lot of stress for a day of good fun.

    • 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.
