Just about had enough of this bloke. Him and the EFC go hand in hand together, all this 'look at me' bs.

Was umming and ahhing most of 2019, then again during 2020 (whilst he was in Aus). Now he arks up again about another possible stint, lol. Save me (unless he wants to put the scum through the ringer again - that i have no problem with ?)

    He said he'd play a short stint, June to September, in the event his local club are county teams were out of their respective GAA championship. His county team, Tyrone, are strong and make the semis most years. I'd be very surprised if he returns.

    Melbourne were trail blazers in terms of recruiting in Ireland. Sean Wight and Jim Stynes were brilliant servants so why have the club turned away from this source of players? Other clubs continue to have success there so why not us?

    Potential to pick him up as a rookie under the AFL's new monthly rookie sign on rules (or whatever they are) potentially?  But I'd hope we were not in pole position to get him based on us having a low enough ladder position at the time to pick him up.

    Home sickness is a real thing, I don't want to diminish it. But I think this bloke just wants to pick and choose and do things on his own terms which isn't really a team mentality. 

    And to be fairer too him he's also talking to Irish reporters about a move in a few years time. He's not planning to fly back over here in June. So the time to assess it is in the future not now.

    He’s the player who derailed our season before it started with his positive test. Obviously not intentional but didn’t he go out on house inspections which were disallowed?

    • 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.
