If the Dees win in a fortnight and Clarry, Max or another Dee wins the Norm Smith medal, it'd be awesome if they donated their premiership medal to Jonesy as a tribute...

That's just fan sentimentality - he won't want that medal. He would want his mates to win and hate the fact that he missed it by THAT much.

It's ok, it happens, we need to make sure that we win and make it as cruel as possibly can - Nathan would want it that way.

    If we do happen to win the GF. I’d love to see the club beam a live feed of Chunk to the big screen during the presentation, so he can at least be involved in some way.

    Sorry, a live cross of the birth is the last thing l want to see

    Especially torn on this, Jones will be capable of running through brick walls if he is selected.

    But our GF victory is along time coming and no player is bigger than a club.

    Horribly sad. But even more understandable after tonight.

    We come up against grade A opposition in two weeks time. We need our absolute best team on the ground. There’s no room for sentimentality.

    Nate’s family also needs him there. 

    Jeez, it would have been nice to see him on GF day but it’s not to be.

    Even if Jones was a certainty to play he should go. She needs him there. It’s his wife and his children. He won’t play forever, he’ll be a father forever. It’s the most unselfish decision he’s made.

    Its a shame she was due at this point, but she was always going to give birth at this point. I’m actually surprised he went in the first place. I hope his wife doesn’t feel any kind of guilt, because she shouldn’t.

    The answer now then is No. More pressing is who medi sub will now be? My money is on Hunt, unless he actually makes the 22. Might need him for pace!

    Do you think he'll get named on the bench or as medi-sub before season's end so we get to say goodbye, and more importantly, thank you?

    I have so much love for this bloke, he was the reason I kept watching during those years

    NO

    So glad he made it. If she’d given birth and he’d missed that AND missed the grand final, I couldn’t imagine the pain

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Carlton

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
