Yikes. So when Tmac is rucking we have no tall forwards.

    Joel Smith will ruck IMO

    Tmac can’t get off the ground.

    Just when I was just starting to come around again..

    We went in last week with one less tall in defence and that proved costly and now we're going in with one less tall with no genuine tall up forward when Max needs a rest.

    Yikes..

    Grundy is named as an emergency with Hibberd Laurie and Schache but if he can't get a game this week it is bye bye. 

    Guessing Hibberd will get the Sub roll.

    Huh, I thought Grundy would come in for JVR. Well there you go. 
     

    Edit: first said TMAC not JVR

    Jordon😪. I hope Grundy is the sub because we might need him but regardless, his non-selection in the 22 makes it completely clear the club is happy for him to move on.

    It’s as if our supporter base has no understanding of football. Who plays ruck when Gawn is off????

    Gee mate. It's almost like you have no understanding of football

    This creates challenges for Carlton’s backline in match ups and forces us to lower our eyes… seems like I’m alone but like it a lot

    No Grundy is so dumb.

    No idea why Hibberd has been dropped, he was excellent last week but assume he will at least be the sub.

    Jordon no thanks.

    I like it create a bit of chaos going forward with smalls, plus they are all runners so can push up the ground and help

    Guess you just have to have faith in the section committee but so far this year Jordan has failed every-time he has been picked and Schache "granted only emergency" can't even play well at Casey.

    Mmmm, you don't think both parties came to an arrangement 6 weeks ago (if not longer)... they're not NOT discussing with him, nor are the 'signaling' to him.

    It’s a good move. No point bring in another tall if we just play the same way. May as well bring in someone who can hit a target inside 50.

    Is anyone else frustrated with Van Rooyen and annoyed that's he's out due to stupidity?

    I know it's his first year but he has gone some silly things this year and when our forward line is falling down he puts himself out with a silly elbow to the chin which he didn't need to do.

    • 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.
