    Hi Dazzle they only mentioned that everyone got through the hit out bar Harmsey. So sounds like Grundy will be ready to go if picked and I hope that he and JJ come straight into the team.!!

    HUN says Brodie did little, virtually nothing when forward. Schache even less. Harmes did his hammy. Disco went forward and did OK. Spargo the standout.

    One player who does look for a target kicking into the fifty. Something we’re crying out for.

    Roo will be suspended who else is tall and has been know to kick a goal. He is also ten times better  ruckman than Roo.

    I said it in the pre game, the podcast, everywhere. I did not want this afterthought on whether we could have used Grundy or not.

    Don't think it would have been a massive difference but geez.

    Agree

    would have nullified Cox and freed max 

     

    lost at selection again

    Freed max to do what, get 40 disposals instead of only 27?

    (BTW, Cox had 9 disposals and 2 marks ... not exactly game-winning)

    He led the AFL in this regard in '21

    We simply don't have a top line key forward to bring in next week. What Spargo is, or can be, is someone who can hit a team-mate in the forward 50 on the chest more than anyone else on our list. 

    To NOT include him would be our biggest risk.

    Probably Turner or Tommo up forward and Spargo for Laurie.

    Could you be really adventurous and play AMW?

    Get more disposals and kick goals

    cox’s incidental acts like taking two Mfc players out and allowing a pies mark and goal don’t count. Things like that

    Will play and this will release Max to play more as a key forward!

    I know Max plays his best footy when he’s the sole ruckman, but it’s a big ask for him to ruck solo for four successive games should we get to the GF.

    Grundy in means Max plays, say, 50% forward. Would certainly test both Blues and Lions(?) defenders.

    A bonus if Grundy could snag a goal or two.

    Grundy should come in and share ruck duties.
    Gawn was immense in the ruck. But now he has to sacrifice for the team to get the most out of someone else possibly at the (hopefully minor) expense of his own game.

    Can he do it? From his rhetoric, he will ask Goodwin for Grundy to play - I just hope he knows that what that means for him. 

    Those that want the Grundy Experiment to continue into next year - this is it, and it is on Max to make it work.

    Would be a big risk to try Disco forward but he is mobile and can take a grab - can see him adding more as a forward than Grundy tbh

    Wether he plays or not he will not be at the demons next year. With Roo out we need another tall and there is no one else.

      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.
