Petracca, Oliver, Viney... cliff.

That's our midfield depth.

Doesn't matter who we bring in for Oliver (if required), they will be substandard.

A legacy of Goodwin riding the same players into the ground year after year and not developing our other mids.

Dunstan can get the pill but not sure about ball use and speed - evidently, Goody recruited him to play for Casey anyway.

Hope Clarry pulls up ok.

I'm watching Tom Mitchell for Collingwood being a completely different player.

They were bad last year in clearences and went and brought Mitchell in to fix this.

Poor Luke Dunstan who's a clearence specialist gets 42 disposal and 2 goals in a VFL game and Goody still refuses to play him because he's happy sticking with the same soliders each week who continue to get beaten around the stoppages.

    Extremely tough break if Ralph is correct. Someone needs to step up now and time to dig in deep Demons.

    The fact is no one will replace Oliver, and we have cover. The club may need to rethink our midfield set up. Sparrow, JJ, Harmes, Kozy (more time in the midfield may give him some form), Rivers, Brayshaw, Salem, ANB, Chandler, Dunstan etc etc can go through the midfield.

    I like the idea of a tagging midfield with our flankers/wingers providing the drive. Back to the early season form with those with good skills kicking and running through the opposition in to a forward line that leads to the ball carrier. 
     

    Stop the continuous long kick down the line including kick ins.

    I mean who am I to be dramatic or negative, but I feel like I’m just going to come out and say it. 
    We are cooked.

    Next month will be a shambles and a window into the next few years unless Goodwin wakes the [censored] up and recruits another top mid in trade period.

    There are 16 players who have plenty of room to lift 25-90% each!

    And even if they lift by 845% they still won’t reach Clarry’s level of talent, skills or importance to our side.

    Injuries happen. He is so durable and he will weeks in the middle of a season. The best time if we are to be a contender.

    Also, can we just go and hunt the footy?

    Why couldn’t this happen during our stretch of playing cellar dwellers? Why now?

    "Could be sidelined for up to a month" says Ralph.

    Let's wait for something a bit more definitive from the club.  It might not be the catastrophe some are fearing.

    Yep classic click bait. No doubt he's getting scans but this reads like a complete guess by Johnny boy.

    Why the f did he get the green light to go back out there in Q4?

    Own goal by us if it's significant

    It sounds like we've already gotten the scans back.

    Why didn’t we ‘manage’ our best players during that period?

    More rhetorical questions…

    Why did he even go back on? I would rather risk Bowey blowing a calf, than Oliver getting a grazed pinky.

    • 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.
