Hey guys a bit of sanity here please. Luke is a demon listed player and not a free agent. He cannot leave without our blessing. Freo need to trade for him and they will not have any sort of hand in the draft to satisfy our needs. The only danger would be that West Coast finish last and somehow talk him in to going into the draft. Aint going to happen, the kid has more loyalty than that. Wouldnt shaft the club that made him a premiership player so early in his career. We hold all the cards.

You do realize that sanity on demonland doesn't exist for some.

    He can absolutely leave without out blessing lol..

    He's out of contract mate. 

    If he comes out and says he wants to go home then we cannot stop him at all. It's up to us and WC/Freo to strike up a deal that benefits both parties moving forward.

    LJ to stay. We’ve given him more than money can buy.  A premiership.  Something he’ll always remember.  Sure he can probably get a million a year elsewhere but he’s bonded with so many at MFC. If we can get to $750k a year over 5 years ($3.75m) that’s plenty of coin. If he leaves for more , that’s $$$cully-like

    If he leaves it’s because he wants to go home. The money will not be much more. Let’s just ease up on the kid.

    Fair enough. Go home factor always in play when you draft kids from interstate.  But I think players are staying more and more and it’s a relatively low rate of players changing for the “go home” factor these days.

    So just a question, maybe answered elsewhere, but when were we planning on turning this guy into a forward? After he signs? The cameos are not enough and I seem to remember from the Hell and Back/recruitment video stuff we were considering him as a forward? Is there some cunning 0lan to keep his value down?

    Elite for a ruck below average for a mid and that’s the issue how valuable is an elite ground ball ruck when a mid does a better job every day of the week

    This makes no sense. Doesn’t need to be elite for a mid. Just needs to have a ground ball advantage vs oppo ruckman, which effectively creates an out-numbering of mids (particularly for centre bounces).

    No chance he is “below average” as a mid either.

    Probably our most promising young player of the past 20-30 years (apart from Clarry):- and all most people here want to do is doubt him. Very weird.

    You missed my point entirely. Of course he can leave but unless melbourne can negotiate adequate compensation the only way he can go is to accept a new mfc contract or into the draft which would mean that he most probably goes to west coast with freo having no chance. Westcoast will have a far better hand to trade than Freo. Either have faith in the kid having some sort of decency or our list management to sort it all out.

    Interesting timing re English

    I'm wondering at what stage does LJ's non-commitment to a MFC future start to impact on the attitude of his teammates?

    • 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.
