Wrecker... Cheers.

Living so far away from Melbourne, posts like this are gold.

Maloney deserves his spot, he works so hard.

Jones, what can we say, here is our star.

Thanks mate.

Diabalo, get out there with that camera next week mate.

    Thanks for the training updates. I would never have put Beamer right up there in the spatial awareness categories, as he always, always gets tackled trying to take on a second and third opponent when breaking out of a pack. Good for him though that he's finally able to have a flying pre-season.

    As for Wheels, bit of a worry if he's in the rehab group again this pre-season as he was last year. At his age and with the style of football he plays, is his body starting to let him down? Lets hope not, or its a slippery slope to retirement.

    I expect to see a photo in the paper the day after all our draftees join their first training session, the obligatory 'group shot', each holding a footy, smiling and quoted as saying 'its great to be training with some of my boyhood idols' and 'I didnt realise it would be so intense'...

    A new generation is emerging, a full cycle is almost complete-

    1. Knowing how to spell

    2. Not knowing how to spell because the spellchecker corrects everything anyway.

    3. Not knowing how to spell, and being on a forum/chat which doesn't have a spell checker.

    4. wtf lol

    5. Callaps of civilizashun as we konw it

    This is what happened to the Romans, I swear.

    'Visigoth' is actually spelt 'Visalageth'.

    Fight Back! Hand write a letter to your grandmother. It's the only hope.

    they should be like me. get fire fox. install the spell check add on. and you'll never have this problem again.

    (unfortunately, it doesn't force capital letters like in word yet...)

    Is Cyril Rioli not doing the Kokoda Trail?

    Or is that later in the week?

    One thing on Beama - bumped into him in Barcelona during... late Sept i think, a few days before the whole nath carroll/ brock/ rivers saga and he said he's feeling better than he has for a few years.

    Look for a great season from this guy.

    actually 2 more things - he's one of the best blokes i've met, AFL but otherwise also. But not always the smartest - managed to have his camera, wallet and watch pinched whilst he had a nanna nap on the beach that night before we went out tot he club.

    But a really good bloke nonetheless

    • 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.
