44 can play, whoever he is. 

I believe 44 is Luca Goonan - ex Mt Eliza player.  Was on Casey's list for last year but obviously didn't play.  

Nephew of a family friend.

    Haha I am not bald and there was no ill-intent in my comments, intended in affection only. Apologies if taken that way. 

    No reasonable thinking person would have taken offence TJ6

    Jake Bowey can play footy - has very good balance, good side step and dare I say it you could argue is already the best kick on the list 

    Bailey Laurie seems a natural footballer - he has very good hands and awareness in traffic - I still have a slight question mark on speed but overall quite promising

    Fraser Rosman I think has potential but may take a bit more time than others hoped

    Not much depth.

    Bowey impressive the rest just went. Brown terrible.

    Confirmed that physios were looking at Nietschke's knee. 

    I hope that isn't serious - he has had such a terrible run and deserves to have some luck

    This thread may be running hot like the Tigs B team, but the the Dees Z team performance is as about as cold as Ice Station Zebra.

    Warming up ever so slightly. Nice pair Toby Bedford!

    Bowey, Laurie and Petty were clearly the 3 best for me out everyone.

    Harrison Petty has a strong case next week against the doggies as Tomlinson was poor today. On today's effort I'd have him round 1 against freo over Tomlinson 

    Would not hurt giving Bowey a run next week against the doggies. He seriously looked a class above everyone who just butchered the [censored] out of it.

    I think Bowie has gone ahead of Lockhart for a spot as a small defender 

    Agreed on that performance can now see why Lockart was dropped last season way too many turnover balls or 50/50s at best.

    The team looked poor, hopefully there are some VFL reinforcements coming in to top that side up, otherwise it could be a long year.

    On a positive note, the young draftees looked good, Bowey and Laurie more than Rosman. And Petty played well, and will be required in the seniors sooner rather than later imo.

    Very dysfunctional forward set up which is due to the fact that 4 of our first choice forwards are all out injured/on leave.

    Richmond are a well drilled club/team.

    Hope that Nieta is ok

    Bowey, Petty, and Laurie all looked like AFL level to me. Bedford looked good in a couple of brief cameos when he turned the speed on, but like the rest of them, he didn't look at the level required for a promotion yet. hope Neitschke is ok, fingers crossed.

    Early days, and the opposition was VFL level, but it's easy to see why we took Bowey and Laurie in the first round.  Both are 'natural' footballers and have the class we are crying out for.

    Petty should be a 'lock' against the Dogs next weekend.

    Beyond these three, not too much to get excited about from the B game.

    Rosman showed glimpses of potential, but is not a 'natural', and will take time.

    That's a shame. Sounds like he isn't the answer to fill in for BBB/Weid.

    Brayshaw, Viney, B Brown, Weid, Melksham, Kossie, Hibberd, Lockhart, Hore and Joel Smith if he was not playing, add a bit of depth.

    I think McDonald and Jackson will account for themselves quite well. It will be exciting to see Pickett, Chandler and Spargo in the 1 team.

    The rest are injured or in Kossie's case unavailable.

    AVB not out there also.

    • 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.
