    Turner, JVR and woey id like to see more of next year in the 1s

    Preseason games and even round 1 I’d love to try Turner, May and lever down back. Petty and JVR up forward. Woey in Vineys spot and rotate off half forward.
    Rather give it a crack preseason and round 1 then get to the last few rounds and we’re too scared to try anything else even though something might not be working anyway

    Wonder if these maggots have any idea how many young players career's they are ruining by deliberately giving young players the wrong impression of what is fair and what is not.

    Bit of a sad situation I reckon.

    What on earth. Not a great umpired game but miles off what you’ve suggested

    Pretty decent game by VFL standards. Will be interesting to see if Southport went out too hard.

    Wouldn't mind Weed moving on for other opportunities and we can open up a spot. I know he has a year to run but surely someone would take him. 

    He's just so out of sync going for his marks. Can't seem to time a jump, can't one-grab or out-body smaller  opponents even at this level.

    Need more out of Weid. 6 possessions 1 mark, put down several he should have taken as usual.

    He's rucked very well but still drops marks when he's the only one who gets a clear grab at it.

    Weid has been great in a day where it is pissing down rain in a position he doesn't play, against an opponent with 40kgs on him

    I really like Chandlers game. He is exactly what we need in the HF next year. Love his chase, pace and work ethic. Not the best decision maker - granted - but we need to play him more to rest others throughout the season.

    Agree. 

    Is more balanced. 

    But too slow to pressure effectively or burn off an opponent the way Toby does.

    Chandler is and always has been a midfielder with forward craft more than a forward. He’s an excellent link player through the middle of the ground.

    He’s yet to master clean hands around a contest though to really push his case as a high half forward

    Weed needs Russell Roberston's old man to teach him how to mark.

    I remember Robbo saying he taught him how to mark and it was quite an odd method. But it worked and I'd try anything

    I know I won't be popular for saying this, but Oskar Baker needs to be traded or delisted for 2023..

    Weed simply can'y mark the ball in a contest.  

    Why is Bowey not playing?  (I missed the start)

    Ineligible. Too much afl, not enough VFL

    Because Melbourne are out of the finals. He could only play while we were still in it.

    Just needs 4 more years on the list to come good

    It's not his ruckwork that's the problem.

    Chandler is just far too good to waste his time at this level. Surely has every right to go elsewhere if we can’t promise him a regular senior game.

    Disagree.

    Sure straight-line running he can't burn an opponent in the way Toby does but he has him covered in about every other facet of the game. And his pressure is fantastic. You watching the game? It's a GF. See that tackle then? lol

    And clean hands? You've lost the plot, he's on another level to the rest in the wet.

    He has been emergency almost all year, Goodwin made minimal changes all year. 

    His form was seemingly irrelevant this year in Goodwin's eyes.

    • 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.
