A glaring issue in our list has been, for many years, quality ball users in our midfeild. That then amplifies our issue of having no elite power forward. 

Love Clarry, he is a generational player. But if letting him go would fix the issues above then of course we should entertain it. 

Ball users are worth next to nothing if you don’t have Clarry or someone like him to get it to them. He’s one of the all time greats at getting it. It’s a very important piece of the puzzle.

    Clarry out of favour? I know that they’re a little behind the times down that way but it sounds to me like a copy of the Herald Sun from last December has finally blown into town and landed on the windscreen of their recruiting manager’s car.

    Unless we get a replacement who is as good a ball user as Clarry is an extractor, then that theory is kaput.

    I'd rather work on improving Clarry's foot skills than trading him. It worked for Chunk, his kicking early on was woeful 

    Salem, Billings, Rivers and Windsor running through the middle and delivering i50 should help too

    Forward strategies are more the issue. Ban the long bomb, always look at a kick to advantage, get injured/suspended players on the park. More to it than that obviously, but would certainly help

    Seriously, a few months ago we nearly lost him for nothing.

    Is it possible to enter into a three way exchange and finish up with astronaut? something will break at the dogs and we’ve got to stay alert.

    It doesn't matter. Prudent business is exploring what the compensation would look like before making any decision (on any player for that matter). Simple as that.

    I agree. Just think it’d be really hard to offer us enough.

    I've worked it out.

    1. JVR and Tholstrup to the Shockers
    2. Shockers on trade to Meth Coke for Reid
    3. Meth Coke cut a deal with us for JVR, Tholstrup, Oscar Allen and their 2024 first round pick to us for Clarry.

    Fixed.

    (And thank you Bell end)

    How many midfield options do we need exactly? 

    Stupid unthinking comment. Of course sOne of your list aren’t even in the ones yet

    Ridiculous suggestion and start supporting Clarry to be the best he can be.

    This is funny. I must be watching a different team running around in the red and blue every week.

    If you are able to watch AFL 360, there was an excellent discussion about Clarrygate tonight. Sensible, balanced, honest and even enlightening. It involved Lewis, Riewoltd & Whately (Robbo was in attendance).

    Not sure what’s funny mate. Just stating we have plenty of blokes that can play mid.

    What we don’t have plenty of is quality ball users and reliable key forwards. If we’re happy making finals and doing no damage come September then by all means, let’s not think outside the box.

    Dont you like the truth Smokey. Start support ING Clarry. I am not autistic and please don't offend  others who may have the misfortune to suffer.

    Fair, have removed that part of my comment. 
     

    You are a very unpleasant person however.

    • 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.
