Delisted. Wants to play on but only if he can be guaranteed  a regular game. He turns 35 in November.

Cue Darryl Kerrigan.

    I’ve seen worse ideas, but with Hibberd probably only having 1 year left and a decision to be made on Nev I don’t think were in the market for a 35 year old.

    I actually think he’d make sense for North.

    It's a pass from me. In terms of older heads, I'd prefer we looked at Gunston and even Breust before Shaw.

    I’d spew if he played for a team I followed.

    The 3rd year of Lewis' contract. Not winding up Jetta and Jones. Trading for Ben Brown. Oscar McDonald.

    A very, very, very good footballer whose best is quickly falling behind him. His last half of this season has been poor so absolutely NO for me.

    If this is the end for him, it's a sad finish to what's been a fine career.

    If it's not the end for him, I hope he continues somewhere other than Melbourne. His form this year was not good and he is 35.

    Don’t agree with those who claim he has fallen/is falling off a perch. His consistency has been amazing.  Their 2nd or 3rd best defender on form in the back half of the year.
     

    I wouldn’t get him because it risks upsetting a building dynamic in our back line but form isn’t the reason I wouldn’t recruit him for a year.

    Well we knew this was coming, cue the guy saying he'll provide good disposal out of the back half and a cool experienced head. 

    No thanks.

    MFC backline coach Heath Shaw

    And halfway through next year when Goodwin is fired, we can appoint him interim coach, be hypnotized by some improvement in effort, before bottoming out completely in 2022 with him at the helm, and then deciding to trade Gawn, May and Oliver and rebuilding the list in 2023 ?? Shawly not!

    While we're indulging in thought experiments, how about: scion of Collingwood royalty, Heath Shaw, coaches MFC to their first flag in decades, with scion of Collingwood royalty, Sam Weideman, kicking his 9th in the last minute to seal the come-from-behind victory. The premiership cup is handed over by new AFL CEO Eddie McGuire.

    Surely we’ve done this dance often enough in past years that we can be a little more choosy in the washed up hacks that we pension into our club.

    • 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.
