One out in each line so each part of the ground should continue to function as normal.

No surprises for each other which is good re our system and positioning.

Smith and Dunstan stay in and Toby gets a run, at last!

Dees by 25 points.

    All in all we don’t really loose much if anything on balance vs the team we fielded last week

    Correct. Team looks pretty good on paper. Would rather not lose any more, however.

    Still a strong team and should be enough to beat Hawthorn

    Still a very strong team, which highlights the depth of our list, and how well they are drilled.  No doubt the envy of 17 other clubs!

    A good opportunity for Smith and Dunstan (and now Bedford) to get another taste of the system and the way we play that they otherwise might not have had. They will need that knowledge if COVID or injury strikes. Also gives either TMac or Weid some valuable Ruck exposure in game time.

    Yes. Its all about the squad - you need 25-30 good players. (Which we have). Premier League teams regularly swap several players depending on the fixtures coming up. West Ham has a big European match coming up tomorrow morning; in preparation they rested nearly half the side for a League match - against a strong Chelsea. (Lost 1-0 late in the game.)

    This year we have had up to 2 players missing ( except rd1 with more ). That is also  good players. Now it is 4 and this may have a telling effect. In a sense it is good some other players are getting a run but we don't want to drop one against the hawks.

    Petty is a big out. Love what he brings

    Agreed. But may  lever rivers bowey supported by smith and hunt give me confidence. 

    And Jack around the ball.

    Agree we don't want to drop one, but on paper even  this dees side is way better than the dawks

    Shiel’s is a good in. Otherwise it’s not the same side that looked so good against the cats. CJ, Mitchell Lewis, Ward, Phillips, Reeves, Grainger-Barass all out of that team. Outs not as talented as our ours, but significant nonetheless.

    Hawks fans are busy reminiscing about Hodge’s debut, they have given up on grasping at straws already. Brayshaw  can also be a mid not worried there.

    • 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.
