For us ... right now ... Nathan Jones by a street!

Would we have got more than pick 11 for Jones?

PS. Demonland should go the way of the AFL and effectively outlaw the bump.

    I'd probably say McLean will have the better career if injury is kind to him. Has special leadership qualities on-field (certainly not off-field at the moment) and is one of the rare MFC players that opposition fans highly rate.

    But for some reason, I hope Jones has the better career.

    Now I can identify the fact as to why I wanted Jones to have the better career ;)

    Exactly my thoughts.

    The question is otherwise redundant now McLean has left. Jones has a grrat opportunity to step up and continue his improvement from last year.

    Thinking about this now, I say Jones is more valuable, and am glad that we kept him and lost Brock, not the other way around. There isn't a huge amount of 21-year-olds who have played 70 games. I think the upside for Jones can be large. Still so young. I think a lot of people think of him in the Rivers/Sylvia et al age bracket, when he is in the same age group as Petterd and Wonnaeamirri. He could be a 250-gamer for MFC.

    As long as there is no head high contact, the bump can stay. B)

    Interesting.

    • 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.
