I wonder has any of them coached a premiership team?

I don't think that Petracca wants the captaincy.

I the 1950's Noel McMahon was Captain, Followed by John Beckwith when Noel retired, John relinquised the Captaincy in 1960 and left the club in 1961 to coach a country side.

    Surely they are referring to the AA captaincy!

    'tap on the shoulder' to big Matt... "psst! You do realize Big Max just became the most successful MFC Captain since Ronald Dale don't you!"

    If Max does not want the captaincy then maybe Petracca might be appointed, Max has such a media presence at the moment that will sell season tickets and sponsorships that the club should not discard the current captain.

    Surely he was meaning in a couple of years? If not this would have to be one of the stupidest things that’s ever been said on trade radio.

    Like wow… 😳

    Rendell must be angling for a Norm Smith style curse to come back ‘cos I’m positive that nothing good could come from stripping the captaincy from Max and giving it to ‘Tracc.

    Tracc will likely lead the club in the future. I’d go as far as saying it’ll happen in the next 2-3 years. There’s just no need to stuff the unity and morale of the club in him becoming captain.

    Max and Gus are the spiritual leaders of the group. Just listen to the podcast. Tracc will be captain one day, if he wants it, but now? How dumb would that be?

    Yep won't be tuning in to the week and a half long [censored] hanging onto hope for next year. I'm sure we will shuffle around some picks and might pick up a player or two but who really cares. It's all about the flag!!

    If Talia wasn't cooked Adelaide would use him as back-up!

    Tarrant on the other hand is a good get for one or two seasons.

    rendell screams out as a filth apologist

    all year the talk has been that daicos would be bid on with pick 1 and now a former filth employee is saying, "oh, no, he'll definitely slide to pick 3 which the pies already have the points to match"?

    he's even done the whole "why would you cost horne-francis $10k bonus by not picking him pick 1?" 

    it's the same rubbish that bevo said last year re ugle-hagan to try and dodge around him, inevitably, being nominated at pick 1

    I have a feeling Jayden Hunt will end up somewhere. I hope not as he a handy wing /half back option but he may want more game time elsewhere.

    why?

    he was best 22 all year and a part of the back 6 til injury when he couldn't force his way back into a side that was settled in the midst of a finals run - not too surprising given he had surgery and most other players with similar injury were missing 12+ weeks

    i'd expect he'll be straight back to being part of the back 6 in 2022

    Probably his best ever season and only lost his spot due to injury, probably takes Hibberd's spot back IMO.

    Yeah just heard that. SOS was agreeing with him. They both seem to be of the opinion that Jackson isn’t all that great either. 

    And this is exactly why I don't listen to this trash.

    • 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.
