WC was overselling Curtain. What's wrong with him? Have they tricked Adelaide into a mistake?

    Bugger. O'Sullivan picked by the cats two spots ahead of our next pick.

    Can anyone explain why we couldn't pick Mac Andrew as a Melbourne academy player last year, when gold coast are allowed to pick 2 academy players in the top 10 this year?

    The rules changed. We missed Mac by one year. Could not bid inside the top 20. Mac went 5. The suns have their own set of rules

    Looking for upsides;

    Not taking Curtin, and Adelaide trading up to make sure they got Curtin, suggests both clubs think Petty will be staying with Melbourne longer term.

    Windsor allegedly has speed, agility, defensive work ethic and 'the best delivery in the draft' in both skill and vision.

    If the product matches the packaging, it really will change the way we can operate.

    He also racks up more running bounces than our whole team does combined!

    What happened to our pick 11 now 13?

    Gold Coast academy players.

    For example, North bid on Walter with pick 3. Walter gets drafted at pick 3 to Gold Coast, but North still has their pick, so it pushes back to 4.

    Two academy bids so far, so our picks slide back 2 spots.

    Well we've been bumped up because of other clubs trading 

    No we haven’t. We’ve been bumped because of Academy picks.

    The GWS pick looks stoked to be playing in front of 4,000 people every second week.

    Is this 'draft night' just an open bar for a bunch of 18 year olds and their mates?

    • 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.
