    The interesting part is that he thinks only 1 or 2 players will miss Rd 1, not including Bennel, KK and Neita. Preus being an obvious pick I’m guessing either May or Vanders. How’s Hannan been tracking because he may be questionable as well

    Tell us who! Damn It. Is he referring to May? Macdonald? Preuss? AVB?

    This lack of information is really frustrating me!

    Pert strongly hinted May will miss round 1, on SEN yesterday.

    The other 1 or 2 might be Petty, AVB, and Hannan.

    Preuss is an obvious out but I don't think he would've been selected in a 32 degree day anyway.

    Hopefully T Mac is right to go for round 1. He IS our most important player in the side as demonstrated by us going 0-7 in his absence, and the sole reason we beat Carlton last year. It's critical they manage him correctly through to round 1.

    Kicked the winning point against GC too.

    He played terribly last year and was clearly hampered by injury, but was still so important.

    Hannan is set to join the main group on Monday. Perhaps he might be one of the "guys"?

    • 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.
