The athletic high flyer struggled with injury but was back on the cusp of senior selection during the finals series when he had the sole of medical substitute. Deserves a free run to show his wares.

 

"The athletic but injury-prone defender signed a two-year contract extension in August to tie him to the Demons until the end of 2024. Smith managed just seven senior games in 2022 after he was forced to undergo surgery to repair a fractured bone on the inside of his ankle, which he hurt in round 7. Was the unused medical sub for the Demons’ two finals. Will be hoping for a better run with injury next year, but the Demons like his flexibility to play at both ends of the ground." - Herald Sun

    I think that we are all really hoping that Joel stays fit and finds a spot in our starting 23 in 2023.!!!

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
