It’s going to be a boring to watch but I’m still looking forward to it. Excited to see who’s the lucky draftee is that gets to join our young and talented list. 

How things have changed these past few years. The Grand Final is now our GF, not draft day.

    That is what I said in point 3) of the post you quoted but curiously deleted it from the quoted post 🤔  

    The deleted part of my post is below.

    There are many permutations of pick swaps for us and other clubs and yeah giving up pick 17 for two in the low 20's is one. 

    Honestly didn't see any point 3 when I quoted you. At the very least I didn't intentionally delete it.

    You know we won the flag when I only just realised it's draft night because Kayo popped up with a reminder on my phone.

    What a time to be alive!

    Horne-Francis looked the most unimpressed person to be taken at Number 1 in the draft I think I have ever seen.

    On the AFL website they have done the top 10

    Sorry I misread it. They were saying will they go as predicted and listed club and player.

    Mac Andrew to the Gold Coast. Bad luck for the kid. From a selfish perspective increases the chances of him coming home to us after 2 years or when the suns are disbanded

    Nothing surer. He will be in Melbourne (city) in 3 years.

    Thought the same MadAsHell - Seriously death by a thousand lashes would be welcomed rather than watching this waffling dribble.

    If this is the best night of the year for Cal Twomey then I am intrigued to know what a bad night for him could look like.......

    Not sure he isn't happy, I just fink he might be a foody player first and fourmost.

    Blake Howes looks a pretty safe pick as predicted on the phantoms.  Any one got any late mail as to our first choice? 

    All depends what the Giants do with their next pick.

    Twomey has the first 10 spot on. Would be a hell of a lot quicker and better if they just let him run through his selections as the draft.

    Given how many kids we had out there, the grand final was not that far off our draft day!

    • 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.
