Here’s hoping that Clarrie can overcome his off season woes and do what he does best on the field for the Demons where he is already established as one of our greats.

    I believe that if he can overcome his problems, he will be BETTER than before - in which case, other teams: LOOK OUT!!

    Huge challenges ahead for Clayton and for the entire club and supporter base.  
    But as Neitschke said, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 
    Let’s all get together behind the club and Clayton.  
    It is a New Year - must look forward not backwards.

    From personal experience, you don’t learn from success, you learn from personal failures. Clarry is a legend and will come back better than ever.

    I think the best we can hope for is a fit and focussed Clarry in 2025.

    Think there’s been too much damage done this year and over the current preseason

    He'll be back to his best.

    He has a history of doing dumb things and learning from them. 

    I've got faith that hell be back to Brownlow winning form in 2024.

    I've said from the start-this kid will win a Brownlow one day.

    I'm backing Clarry in this year to play 20+ games. He will be ramping up his training soon after recovery from his knee clean out and be fully integrated in the main group by Feb. Let's go!

    Sadly I think this may be the truth. Whatever it is...I hope we as a club prioritise his health over short term playing goals. Clarry back and healthy in 2025 would still be a good outcome.

    Agree, but for some reason I have this nagging thought that we might have seen the best of him! 😘

    Let us hope that Clarrie has gazed long enough into an abyss, the abyss has gazed back into him and the future is bright. Loved him from day 1 as a player and could be amongst the best ever.

    • 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.
