    JVR — solo forward crucified

    I'm not saying your wrong JB.

    It's a difficult job to rate with only 3 words.

    And I do appreciate and enjoy your work.

    But according to your assessment, 17 players were below par. Some a fair way below( no pun intended).

    I'm not saying your wrong either.

    A pretty damning summation.

    MFC.....where's the pride?

    ......where's the passion?

    ...where's the enthusiasm?

    ...where is Waldo?

    At this stage anyone's a good substitute.

    What has happened to him?

    I thought last year would be a breakout year.

    It wasn't so I thought maybe this year.

    Sadly he has gone so far backwards, so quickly, it's hard to comprehend.

    And here's me thinking not long ago, he's our next DS or DN.

    Silly me.

    Agree with the Windsor sentiments. Goodwin is trying turn him into Jayden Hunt which is laughable. The way we are set up with no clear exit does him no favors.

    Hope to god we end up with Longmire before Windsor gets destroyed. A lot of similarities with Gulden in the sense he was drafted as a an agile wingman with great agility with little experience as an inside on ball player.

    Longmire turned an already elite outside player who can hit the 45 degree kicks with ease into a crucial piece of the Swans on ball brigade.

    If Windsor can become half as good, I’ll be happy.

    Well funny about that there were people on this site thinking that was going to work never was going to work Windsor is an outside player with a run

    We have to many players out of form. Obvious.

    We have not had a strong KPF since BBB finished up.

    Petty or T Mc are not rhe answer forward although Petty be rotated Forward/Back with Turner?.

    Jeffo will take more tine

    We need to recruit a tall via draft and or trade.

    Maybe should have got Membry or Darling for a year or 2?

    • 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.
