Carrying Brown, Baker and others on the list was a waste of list spots. And Munro, White, Dunstan and Grey playing most of the midfield minutes is someone’s decision.

Its hard work watching Melbourne young players stuck in peripheral roles. 

Take those players out of the team, and Casey probably don't win 20 games for the season and a premiership. Surely, team success is invaluable for player development?

    They finally gave Weid a job of holding the number 1 ruck spot and he has developed more in 4 weeks than in the last 4 years.

    Casey have just won a flag and you're  complaining 🤭

    Lots of great young talented kids coming through.

    Good for Casey, but for the sake of Melbourne we can’t carry so many experienced fringe players and VFL players chewing up important minutes.

    Casey’s first priority is to develop afl players and that needs to be reinforced next year.

    Remember when people complained because we didn’t have a winning culture?

    Congratulations Casey, super effort on the 2022 VFL flag, keep building this culture within the club.

    I hope we never see JVR in the VFL again, he’s pure class.

    With Jackson now Gawn, Weideman could have a chance as a permanent second ruck.

    I like this a lot because Weed would kick goals as a resting ruck in the forward line

    I just can't see Weid at AFL level, if Grundy is recruited to the club no chance.

    Had disagreements with you in the past

    dazzel but couldn’t agree more 

    Flags are always very special at any level

    And we would avoid the huge risk that Grundy is.

    I'd rather use all the money to go all in for Harry McKay.

    This is the 700k question

    Pity he hasn't had long in the role.

    Needs to assert himself around the ground

    I think he did amazingly well. Hopefully goody just does this and saves us 400k a year for a decent forward. In 4 months he has effectively taken up full time rucking duties and has done amazingly well

    The players really love Weideman. Maybe they’re just happy for him. 
     

    So nice to see all the senior guys there. I reckon the ones missing are all going to the Brownlow tonight (Trac, Clarry, Gus and May). 
    Gawn doesn’t have to do his hair so he can squeeze in both. 

    May was there at the start I saw him drive into the car park.

    He was good in this role this year, got him involved in the game.

    Not to mention that Mitch Brown provides excellent protection and education for someone like JVR.

    • 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.
