Just realised the list doesn't have Pedersen either. Slot him in around the late 20s and once I've sorted out who else is missing I'll reissue.

You must have a set against burly ex roos.

    As promised on the podcast here are my rankings of imported players since 1980. The criteria is plucked from thin air. Hopefully I haven't missed anyone. Probably a bit of recency bias at the top but that's what happens when most of the last 40 years have been a disaster

    Brilliant work, or at least a fabulous boondoggle Supermercado. Most glaring omission for me is Laurie Fowler, who played on into 1980 (Bluey winner) and 1981 (Big V rep). A magnificent, tough, reliable backman. Also Jamie Duursma, 33 games in 1988-9. Doug Koop and Dean Chiron too low.

    Reading through other posts, no Steven Icke is right up there too. Along with Fowler, maybe top 10, at least top 20.

    I only took post-1980 debuts or it was going to get messy but agree Fowler would rank highly.

    To be honest it was cobbled together pretty quickly so no wonder there's a few fiascos.

    If that’s your cobbling, I’m bringing you my shoes. ?

    • 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.
