Chander can hit the scoreboard, but needs to work on his defensive craft considerably in the off season.

He had a bit of a up and down year, but its also his first year of consistent senior football. So perhaps a dip understandable. 

In 2019 he played in the last game of the season and was a tackling beast that game.
In 2020 he was consigned to the VFL/COVID 
In 2021 he was sub for 5 games making it onto the ground once.
In 2022 he was sub 4 times making it onto the ground 3 times.

So quite a jump playing 23 games this season, plenty to build on. 3rd at the club for goal assists, 5th at the club for goals, 9th for tackles etc. Fully agree he dipped a little at times but also hard to judge the forwards when the forward line rotated as much as it did (due to injuries or what not), a lack of cohesion didn't help. 

I like both Spargo and Chandler, yes they have things to work on don't really want to fob either of them off 

But as stated above, who knows what the greater plan is for drafts/trading etc.

Fixing error, robbed him of a spot for tackles

    Personally I don’t rate Chandler. Spargo offers footy smarts, something this side lacks going into 50. I’d keep both, play Spargo in the AFL and let Chandler and AMW battle it out for a spot.

    I reckon there should be pressure on both their spots and I'm happy if Charlie moves on. Chandler in the VFL for mine, until he is more consistent.

    I get the feeling the comparison here should be between Spargo and the incoming McAdam not Chandler.

    Just Heard on Perth Radio Bulldogs and West Coast Desperate for our early picks if we could lure  Aaron Naughton  and Liam Ryan  imagine them with Pickett and Mc Adam boy some powerful forward line

     

    I don't know much, especially according to my son, but one thing I do know reliably is not to listen to a single thing you hear on Perth Radio. Veracity = 0

    Spargo and Chandler off us the same thing 

    Spargo is smart enough to understand this which is why he is looking elsewhere 

    No they don't. You can't see that?

    I agree with this.

    Players sign contracts and leave.. 

    And then usually the receiving club has to pay an increased price for the trade.

    Presumably because we are looking to trade pick 5 for an established player?

    Was thinking this the other day…

    Liam Ryan would be a good get 

    Putting his previous off field issues and current injury issues aside, I’m in total agreement.

    Absolute pure football talent is Liam Ryan and can actually kick the prune.

    However I can’t see him wanting to move and I can’t see why WC would want to move one of their rare forward talents

    Is he up for grabs? I can’t see us getting McAdam and Ryan in

    No I don’t see us moving on PK5, I think we still want to move UP.. but without getting into the realm of where I’m risking my job, I felt better because the insinuation was basically “if what we’re doing comes off, you’ll be left far happier than if we managed to get pk4” basically

    I can’t say — as in I don’t know. But we can all hope and dream! But I walked away with knowledge that either Dees or Saints were gonna have a big big win this off-season, as that’s what I was lead to blv, but fact club are trying super hard is enough for me as I have faith if they have a plan, they’ll execute.

      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.
