I know so little about him… what are his best attributes and do you think he can step straight in ?

    culley was signed by casey for season 2025

    the only way he'll be leaving would, i assume, be if he gets a call up to an afl list

    AFL article notes West Coast (now) and Carlton still to fill spots...

    You’d expect that to be the case but if he decides he just wants to be playing local footy I doubt Casey can force him to play up a level. Similarly if he suddenly decides SANFL or WAFL are in his best interests would Casey block him? I’m not convinced state league contracts are rock solid. And it’s a hard rejection to bounce back from when at least if Jon Ralph is to be believed (and he shouldn’t really be) he was very close to the list spot.

    Fair to say Casey will be strong this year.

    Small forward/mid with good goal sense, smarts and tackling.

    Lacks stand out attributes to be a big difference maker but can come in and do a role from day 1 if he’s had a good summer VFL training at a high enough level.

    With Pickett’s suspension, Spargo still injured and Kolt injured there’s going to be opportunity.

    Yep - that's what I thought. But when you think about it, probably easier to break into Eagles line-up/security going forward?

    He is a country boy so a move won't affect him, but certainly his life is here atm...
    Got my fingers and toes crossed!

    Great insight mate and thanks for sharing the information.

    has been training with West Coast so youd think his conditioning would be ok in terms of AFL level

    Welcome Jack. Per the SSP contenders thread he was my preference based on list need and ability to impact short and medium term. Is too good not to be given an AFL chance. Reminds me a lot of Kane Lambert in how he plays.

    I’ve got a little family connection to Jack as well so rapt to have him at the Dees.

    Fitness won’t be an issue, he’s an elite runner and has kept himself ticking over in the off-season.

    Club have earmarked that ANB high half forward spot as his role.

    I just watched the highlights reel and he reminded me straight away of Nibbler and his run down tackles and opportunistic goals. An important role to fill. All the best to Jack!

    Was Roy an option here?

    Can't recall seeing much of Hendo and what he brings.

    Roy is magic and just needs to get to AFL levels of fitness or close to it surely?  Is he still an option somehow?

    • 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.
