Please let’s see Sestan, Tholstrup and Fullarton.

Surely Petty has to be omitted on form.

Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it.

Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in.

    Please lose this. 
    It will surely be the final nail


    I dread the inevitable dropping of Howes, Laurie and Turner for Woey, McAdam & B.Brown whilst the likes of Petty, Sparrow, Bowey etc get away with the bare minimum as always.

    If Roos bring that same pressure against Eagles, they are a genuine sniff. 

    Out: Billings, Laurie, Turner.

    In: Woewodin, McAdam, Tholstrup.

    Go bit smaller for more forward half pressure given the foot skills are way off at the moment.

    Tholstrup, and play him for the rest of the year. Time to make selections for the future rather than the present. Unfortunately.

    Not sure that any other changes are more than rearranging the deck chairs.

    Not sure about the ins/outs, hopefully Petracca pulls up ok after the break.

    If Lever isn't ready I would put Turner down back and consider bringing Fullarton in for fwd/ruck duties.

    Tholstrup perhaps to get a recall. Does Casey have a game next week?

    This disgraceful excuse for a support competition - no. Another bye.  A blight on player development.

    HB: Bowey McDonald Salem

    C: Langdon Viney Windsor

    HF: ANB Fritsch Tholstrup

    FF: Laurie van Rooyen Fullarton

    R: Gawn Oliver Rivers

    I/C: Woewodin, Tomlinson, Sestan, McAdam

    Sub: Turner

    Those italicised should be on notice for playing totally within themselves since the bye. Petracca out maybe saves Sparrow, but I just can't put up with the lack of effort from the likes of him, Chandler and Petty every week. 

    It does feel a bit silly throwing in Sestan, Fullarton and Tholstrup but there also isn't much choice unless we want to keep rewarding mediocrity.

    Would like to see Tholstrup, Woey and AMW in the team next game.

    Think it's worth testing Fullarton out against North, he was signed as back up.. but i'm sure he'd be doing Petty/Turner numbers in this team. Would keep JvR forward too.

    Sestan must be getting closer - Does he have the tank? 

     

    Trac will definitely be a couple of weeks out

    Kolt in - and tell him to tackle everything in sight 

    6 players who pulled on the MFC jumper today had zero tackles

    I hink Lever said he'd be back after the bye.

    Just play Woewodin and Koltyn for the rest of the year. Surely they couldn't do any worse than Laurie, Billings, Sparrow or Chandler at the moment

    Petty , disco out or back to the backline 

    One or more of the Casey forwards who have actually been drafted and played a lot of footy as a forward.

    Jefferson, Luka, Fullerton , Brown can't be any worse.

    Surely Kolt, and Sestan, both big bodied but inexperienced, would both contribute more than Billings and Laurie, and we definitely need a big strong body to replace Petracca.

    Even Luker Kentfield would probably outdo poor Petty who is just totally devoid of confidence - I know he won't get a debut probably this season but that is how low impact or tall forwards (JVR excepted) are at the moment.   

    Fullarton, if he is ever going to be selected, must replace Petty and or Turner next round.

    • 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.
