    to be honest, the king bros don't do a huge amount for me

    their primary ability is height, and they both suffer from a shortage of the greatest ability of them all; availability

    Ben’s played 14 - 17 - 22 - 0 - 20 games in his career. Pretty good for a young key forward.

    You can have King, Wade, McKenna and Hudson in our forward line and still wouldn't kick a winning score. King just a youngster starting out whilst Wade had Goggin then Krakouers, Mckenna had Price etc hitting them up on the lead whilst Hudson had the whole forward line to himself. Until our current Mids learn to lower eyes and deliver correctly then no big name in our forward line will get us to the next premiership. Would prefer mids with elite disposal and awareness and stay with Petty JVR etc. Give me a Guilden like player and I'd be happy.

    Interesting...

    GC in need of cap space (perpetually) and Walter is set to come in to quickly relegate King to second fiddle.

    Not the silliest suggestion.

    Has only worked once in nearly 47 years for me. Thought I might try something smaller.

    New studies have found that people who try to manifest wealth through positive visualisation are significantly more likely to declare bankruptcy.

    If we now get Brayden Preuss on a five-year deal I'm blaming you.

    If we're helping out Gold Coast with their salary cap problems, I'd be much keener on Lukosius (obviously) and also, pretty sure that is Max King in the opening picture.

    Get your point totally. But Wade retired in '75 and Krakouers started in '82.

    Unfortunately still a good and accurate story even with the correct facts. Nothing wrong with the accurate story of Cable, Greig, Schimmelbusch & Alves delivering the ball to Wade. Not to mention the Galloping Gasometer.

    I'm hearing a rumour from a reliable source (Nudge), that Harmes, T. Mac, BBB and our future 4th will get the deal done. As a sweetener, we'll also offer them Dunstan.

    Surely we'd be asking them to pay 30% or more of his salary as well

    Doesn’t matter.. another poster said we would’ve won the flag this year if we offered a retired (and broken) Josh Kennedy a one-year contract. With such a compelling case, I can’t see any issues with offering a broken and retired player a contract.

    I don't see how either of the King boys solves our goal kicking inaccuracy problem.

    • 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.
