Same 5 as I would have had on the mfc site.

Maybe add Brayshaw who I'm predicting to quietly get back on the upward trajectory to be one of the best mids in the comp.

The other one being Weid. Last year the pressure was off a bit being thrown into the fire as the second key forward, then injuries finished his season. This year he needs to really put the foot down and try to find consistency with Jackson and Brown there for his spot. I think with Bayley being our second marking option now it might give Weid more freedom to play as a true CHF getting touches further up the ground to bring him into games more.

    I agree on the 5 they have suggested, but I'm also interested to see how Sparrow (thanks YB) performs this season.  He's looking a very likely type.

    Haha... thanks! Yes, I did mean Sparrow (I failed the Biddle's Bird Watchers entry exam... now I know why).  Fixed.

    Haha easy mistake.

    Rivers is another one who will be interesting to watch develop, could be called upon if we find ourselves with injuries down back.

    I Really like the look of Rivers  should be a big part of the future

    Natural backman and footballer. I agree should be one to watch.

    1. Coronavirus: the boom recruit to this season's list. Already has the attention of seasoned track watchers and is expected to wreak havoc on the park.

    2. Flu: flashy performer, flits in and out. Always chimes in mid-winter with some big performances but lacks season-long consistency.

    3. The Common Cold: an old stalwart, can always be relied on to make solid contributions in spite of being unfashionable and unloved.

    4. Acne: not considered best 22 but always there and thereabouts. Depth only.

    5. Diphtheria: potent when in the mix and certainly capable, but not expected to make much of an appearance in 2020.

    • 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.
