The best thing about that article was that it sounded like Paul gardner was actually in Melbourne.

Not New York, Mt.Everest, The Steve Irwin, Kokoda Track, etc.etc..

Or the Chelsea Gardener show :D

    But seriously, I think Yze is definately one to look out for this season! :unsure::lol:

    If Yze is heading to retirement within time, perhaps we can groom him for the vacant forward scout position - He'd have a good eye for talent, surely :blink: B) :lol:

    I should have probably mentioned that Yze was playing in the midfield until he got injured.

    I wish him all the best, it's not as if he he hasn't done well in the midfield before and I reckon he has at least one ripping season in him

    From memory, Yze was one of the players that really responded well to a change of coach ten years ago, so I wouldn't mind betting that this year may cause a similar result.

    So in finishing - Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue! :blink::lol:

    .......because in early February every footballer looks soooo good.

    Its hard from scratch matches and training for outside observers to really identify who is going to step up to AFL pressure.

    Nevertheless it is good that every player is putting his best efforts. Thats a positive. And also players previously under an injury cloud being able to participate in the pre season process.

    Yup, ie Chris Johnson in that prac match against the toiges last year...

    Apologies if I missed this - But did Steffan Martin play? If so, how did he go?

    Yes he did. It seems the pressure got to him initially as he was playing at half back for a team that got whacked. He fumbled a few times. He seems pretty raw footy smarts wise but looks good physically. Just a question of time I think.

    Thanks Timmy - Lets hope it does not take too long; particulary with injuries raising their heads a week before the pre-season has begun....

    • 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.
