I’m surprised about Jetta and a little disappointed. But overall it was always going to be hard to replace our best forward and our best defender.

    Happy to see Mitch brown in - in the last two games last year he took 20 marks

    hopefully he clunks them tomorrow too!!

    Me too but I’m happy to see both petty and hibberd in.

    Petty officially back, well deserved.  Getting ahead but if he can impress the next couple of weeks it will make selection interesting upon Mays return.

    Thought Jetta had been pretty good, not fantastic but still really solid. Don’t particularly  like 3 changes to a team who has been so settled. I suppose 2 are forced though.

    No chance.

    He's cooked, he can't move. They're not dropping him after going 4-0 if they're confident on his return to form.

    'Dropped' due to injury. Didn't train today, clearly named as emergency in case he's right in time and is needed.

    We must continously fit players into the team, not let them wilt on the vine because we hesitate with team selection out of little more that conservatism. We are to go places, instead; real depth, not perceive depth, is critical to that aim. Give the talent games, and thus keep game-day performances at a level of competitive excellence. Pay for footballers should not be a series of sinecures.

    We all love Nev but have to accept that’s he’s getting near the end.

    Good ins, it shows our depth is impressive 

    Happy with the 'ins' as well. Also happy to see Daw as an emergency - he could be really useful and unsettling for the Hawks.

    Good selections, Hibbs has experience and needs to cement his place, reads the ball very well and will back up Lever for getting to the ball drop.

    Petty for his contested marking ability. Has been in the system for a while, and could work well under General Lever. 

    Mitch Brown to give us a leading target, hoping for 2 to 4 goals.

    Majak must have been close as he is the emergency.  

    Our balance still looks good. The depth we have is fine.

    Go Dees.

    Getting to the stage where you'd have to think that players like Lockhart and even Joel Smith are ahead of him - with players like Bowey waiting in the wings.

    I still don't like our forward line. Fritsch, Weed and BBB out is a massive blow. We have got by with 2 out but 3 might be pushing it.

    Lockhart, Hibberd and Bowey maybe - Joel Smith will probably never play seniors again

    I believe Jetta may not be 100%. His family has been sick so he may be a little unwell. 
    Either way, I hope to see him back in the side soon.

    • 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.
