Pic #15 - Melksham at training. Hammy injury seemingly mild if that is the case...

Either Melksham is doing his rehab and out for 3 weeks or Tom Browne was wrong.

It surely can't be the latter.

    He also just had a baby.

    Understandable then if he didn't train. My wife assures me childbirth is pretty draining

    Harden up princess you can do it, if you get bitten just ask the ruby player to suck it out, he must be good for something....

    Looks like @picket fence got there too late to see the Forwards and Mids.

    Clearly, he will need to set his alarm clock for much earlier in future.  Simply not good enough to let us down like that!  he should give himself a good slap!

    With the new standing the mark rule. I can see teams using players with pace i.e. Bowey and Hunt as runners off half back taking a handball and running. The player on the mark can’t even attempt to block it.

    would anyone care here if Laurie and Bowey played round 1 ahead of melksham, hibberd, Jetta etc?

    Bowey in the backline.  Wonder if he has been identified as the Jetta replacement or a different kind of role?

    They drafted him with the idea of him being our Caleb Daniel.

    Yes Me I doubt they are up to senior level standard for game 1

    I reckon Bowey could well line up in our defensive 7 in the early rounds.  we need speed, kicking skills and decision making and he seems to have those

    But shirley Hunt plays fwd. especially with Melk and others injured

    Don't call him shirley!

    Interesting to see Neitschke with the mids, I could’ve swore he was a defender when he was drafted

    i doubt it. from what i've seen of him he looks a winger/flanker type.

    Maybe a role like Salem’s which lets Salem push onto the wing?

    Remember when we played the kids early for years on end and never got any better? Let’s no repeat that as a philosophy.

    I expect Laurie will be. I’m not sure we’ll put a 175cm 70kg defender out in round 1 unless he impresses in the scratch games. 
     

    Jetta and Hibberd are competing with others for a back pocket spot. Melksham was training with the mids. There’s others that they are competing with for spots anyway.

    yeah Bowey might be able to release Salem for a bit of that. i think Bowey will end up on the wing eventually once his running is up to it.

    Salem will never move to the wing. It’s a gut running position that doesn’t suit his game which is elite distribution out of traffic. The aim should be to move him on ball but we need 2 more additions to the half back kicking ranks before we move him not 1. And we need to clear some of the mids out.

    In the meantime we can hopefully get Salem and some combination of Bowey, Lockhart, Rivers and even Hunt providing rebound. Richmond use the trio of Houli, Short and Baker to constantly countering with pace and skill.

    • 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.
