    Potentially why we have the late pick available to match a bid. If it comes too early then so be it.

    Let's just hope it's not a popular rag with the common folk.

    Especially so at Carringbush, out Moonee Ponds way or beyond the Port Jackson hinterlands.

    Just noticed that Sam Marshall is Brisbane academy despite playing for Sandy Dragons. That seems a bit on the nose for me and contradicts the reasons for the academy.

    It looks to me a policy of Brisbane's, to send their good NGA members down to Vic for their football schooling.

    Pub test failed!

    What’s the feeling on whether Andrew will be selected by another club, so we have to match and use our last list spot/pick, or whether he gets through and we can rookie him?

    to be honest i'm half expecting him to slide through 

    talls simply don't seem to have the premium placed upon them that they did as recently as three, four years ago

    Not a surprise, club never were really linked with him. A fraction undersized and doesn’t kick well. That said, cost was basically the last pick in the draft. But we don’t seem to be a club that turns over the list these days.

    Well, I don’t know how to riak to this

    The club we gave Grundy to. 

    Hope they have a good FA we can take from them next year.

    They seemed shocked we didn’t match, didn’t see a single smile from their group.

    Maybe we just rate players better then him?

    No biggie.

    We weren’t even able to make a mistake with Mac. But given half the chance we would have found a way

  • Quote

    ah well, if we really wanted him, we would have made it happen.

     

    would have been nice to slide through as a rookie

    We don’t have the list spots, our third pick is all we have and clearly they wanted other players.

    Its not like we don’t have young kids developing but we do seem to hang on to guys as well as paying the price for top ups that so far haven’t worked.

    Im not even sure if we wanted Riak as cat B which does seem wild because he has more upside than Mentha IMO.

    said so in the johnson thread, but im truly gutted by this, its non-commital by the club and is going against the youthful processes we've been on for some time now. theres just so many ways this ends badly for us, watching mac flourish, ourselves getting destroyed by aliir playing against the swans in the past. i think his athletic potential once in the pro systems, he's gonna make us look so silly

    Disappointed....but I have faith in Jason Taylor's decision.

    I think there's another two younger Andrew brothers anyway?

     Paul Amy on X is reporting that Deng Andrew, brother of Mac and Riak, is fighting for a place on the Northern Bullants list. A long way from Casey.

    • 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.
