Both BBB and Tmac have contracts for next year and I don't see anyone taking them. 

They both have contracts but I strongly believe at least one of them will retire.

    Who do I believe, Barrett or Goody?

    Looking forward to seeing Grundy in the finals and beyond

    I understand he had a coffee with Simon Goodwin and was told in confidence that the club was definitely in discussions with Port Power and Grundy was out the door.

    What makes you believe that?

    Injuries, I doubt whether Brown will be able to continue on and it may be the case for Tmac as well. No shame in retiring whilst under contract , plenty have done it.

    Some of the commentary on here is laughable. Max still has 3 years in him, so saying Grundy will be his successor at age 32 is ridiculous. 

    The media are just stating the obvious. Getting Grundy didn't make sense, and it's been proven correct. Max has been BOG in consecutive weeks without Grundy in the side. Max is the superior ruckman, and neither is a forward. The Gawndy experiment is over. 

    Grundy with 4 years on his contract needs to be traded.

    Yeah I know , but both must know physically that their time is up and can retire if they wish to protect their bodies long term with memories of a Premiership in their kit bags, not playing out the season in the two's

    No one in this world would have a coffee with Barrett

    I agree in terms of injuries. Tmac's foot seems absolutely cooked and Browns knee is repetitively troublesome.
    I just don't see either retiring by their own choice and leaving contracted money on the table. 
    I would happily be wrong.

    Yes, However I am not sure if we can fit a payout in this years salary cap.

    Max has 3 years left if he doesn't have to ruck full-time. The reason he played so well solo is because Grundy enabled him to have less load, but he can't sustain this. 

    Max was behind recruiting Grundy and remains so. What's laughable is that people can't understand this.

    On what planet do Port get this deal done? They have ZERO draft leverage and Grundy is contracted. 
    Delusional.

    Max has been the premier ruckman in the comp for the past 6 years as the primary ruckman. All of a sudden Grundy lessening Max's load is the reason he has returned to being the premier ruckman. Give me a spell.

    Did you pay any attention at all to Max's condition last year?

    Did you pay any attention to Max driving Brodie's recruitment?

    • 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.
