No worries, Curnow will sort out our issues up forward. 🤝

Ed making a comeback after retirement. Nice, I wish him all the best even if he is more of a midfield tagger than a forward.

    Wc forward ok but midfield speed also would be nice.

    It's pretty sad to say, but I'm actually a bit thankful he won't be there just out of fear of a fan, downing a few too many chardonnays and getting a bit 'passionate' towards Christian and maybe whoever he takes to the night.

     

    Yeah too right....

    The interview with Trac the club just put out is really lovely, I have to say. Doesn’t stop me being still a tad angry with him but it’s diminishing!

    No, ironically I look a bit like Champ!

    Great to hear he can crank up his training and he is so motivated to be right for day 1 of preseason

    This may seem rather left field. But seeing that the Houston idea seems almost totally lost, I wonder whether the recruiting department could look at lining up a meeting between Houston and Trac.  Seeing Trac's recent interview where he talks about the positives from the last few weeks-the healthy robust discussions and how he is really committed and energised regarding next year.

    Talking with Houston about how he would look forward to playing with him and what Houston could offer the Dees and vice versa. It might clear the air and clear out some of the concerns Houston may have had. At the very least, there seems nothing to lose by trying this.

    Almost as good as when you bailed up Blake Howes for 20 minutes only to later find out it was Daniel Turner…

    I think the damage has already been done. You cannot walk back the absolute [censored] storm we had in the last few months. It didn’t play out well for us, nor Trac. 

    The best thing we can hope for is Houston stays out, we redeem ourselves and try again for slightly less of an asking price in 12 months.

    Great to see Christian Petracca smiling.

    His interview seemed very honest and sincere in what he said.

    I could never stay mad at the man who helped us end our 57 year Premiership drought in 2021 and won a Norm Smith Medal.

    I wish Christian Petracca a wonderful time on his holidays in Europe and hope he enjoys himself at the Redbull Elite Fitness Centre.

    Fingers crossed Christian Petracca has an excellent year in 2025. Would love to see him in the future win more Premiership Medallions for the Melbourne Demons and possibly a Brownlow Medal too!

    I reckon the Houston trade went cold for a number of reasons - but the club was probably expecting to part with pick 10-14 as its first round pick. When that came in significantly over the last 4 weeks of the season the price became unreasonable. There’s a huge difference between ‘first round’ and top 5.

    If he does move it’ll be interesting to watch what the eventual cost is.

    Not sure when the B&F is, but surely you’d think Tracc might think it important to spend that night with his teammates - to get some brownie points at least. Surely he could head OS after that night.

    Yes there is - we might waste a high draft pick on a mature/aging HBF.

    But not as good as the time we introduced ourselves to Tom Scully at the 2009 draft party at the MCG:

    Not a peep from the media yet re the completion of feasibility but one straight away that Trac will miss the BNF.

    Channel 7 news gave plenty to the feasibility story.

    Redemption Branding

    They really made sure to tick all the boxes:

    Can’t wait for next year ✅ 

    Disappointing to miss finals ✅ 

    All great mates and life long friends ✅ 

    Setting myself for a big 2025 with the MFC ✅ 

    Big smile because I’m genuinely happy ✅ 

    I’ve seen less contrived interviews with Macho Man Randy Savage, but who cares. He’s stuck with us (for now), he’s a jet and is driven to give his all for his own sake, regardless of whether he’s completely happy at the club. Let’s hope we make amends in 2025 in every way and he is still happy to be there.

    • 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.
