    Thanks W

    Just a few points i would like to add pls...

    While he is probably best 22 we don't know how long Melk will be out, nor if he'll decide to continue by the time he does return.  Most likely he will but 11 months is a long time in footy.  Especially at this point in his career.

    So i would think McAdam replaces Melk there at least until he returns.  There is no McAdam regardless.  Is that not a done deal?

    Deakyn Smith delisted assuming that's the Smith you're referring for Casey in the BP.

    Hibberd & Dunstan retired.

    Moose has moved on.

    Grundy a maybe but highly unilkely i would have thought given the smoke.

    Jordon and Harmes need an asterisk also yes?

    That's the best 44 for the year the next installment won't have D.Smith, Hibberd, Dunstan and anybody else who leaves during trade week.

    Love to see Bowey move onto a wing, he has a good footy brain and is very good by foot.  No idea on his tank.

    I'd start Billings in the 2's regardless of how well he goes in the preseason. One of the Saints fans youtube things i watched said he got 50 possesions when they dropped him. He has the talent make him earn a spot.

    Surprised to see that Billings isn't rated higher than Chandler on here 

     

    My best 23

    B - Lever, May, McVee

    HB - Rivers, Tomlinson, Salem

    C - Brayshaw, Oliver, Langdon

    HF - Petracca, van Rooyen, McAdam

    F - Fritsch, Petty, Billings

    FOLL - Gawn, Viney, Pickett

    INT - Hunter, Sparrow, Neal-Bullen, Woewodin

    23rd - Chandler/Fullerton

    If we go with Petty and JVR as KPFs for MFC with Fritsch and McAdam in support then we're going to have a massive logjam of tall forwards at Casey assuming early season fitness: TMac, BBB, Smith, Schache, Fullarton, Jefferson, KFW - assuming Verrall leads the Casey ruck.

    I'd be playing at least one back.

    Put a line through TMac, BBB   

    Fullerton will be first in line for a call up if one of Gawn, Petty, van Rooyen go down

    Jefferson may play a different role due to the forward depth we have at both levels

    Verrall will be 2nd ruck to Fullerton imo

      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.
