Bloody brave selection from Goody and Co picking so many kids in a final with the older boys fit and ready to play. Finals experience will be so important so the young boys. 

Which is why Jones shouldn't get a look in.
Get the kids out there.
They are the bright future.

    The kids will get the chance, over the next ten years to play finals, no need to rush them.

    Give Jonesy a chance to be medical sub and put him on with ten minutes to go when we are well in front.

    It’s all well and good to say that but the sub is there for a reason, if we have a player go down in the first quarter then Jones is playing a full game. Look what happened to Brisbane. 

    I’m not saying Jones wouldn’t be ready to go but it’s a gamble putting a club champ in as the medi-sub if he isn’t picked on form and fitness (he’s barely played a competitive match in the last 2 months). If he puts a strong week of training and get himself in line to be picked then that’s a different story.

    We're not playing kids because they are the "bright future".

    We're two wins away from a flag. We're playing them because they're in our best 22 right now.

    Yeah, they've gone past him.
    And he should have retired 3 forken years ago but thought I'd keep it respectful.

    His average stats for the games he has played this season are around half or lower than his career averages for all indicators.

    I keep thinking of his game against the Swans last year (and by no co-incidence, it was hist last game of the year) where he was off the pace and a liability.

    Maybe he's still up to it, and maybe he isn't, but Jesus Christ, the Grand Final is not the place or time to find out.

    I think even he would struggle to break into this side!

    • 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.
