		Change coming to the Academy System
		
		Seriously there should be no academies. These clubs established themselves in areas where they knew Aussie Rules doesn’t have a stronghold. They knew this and went ahead with locating there anyway. Actions have consequences. Academies should be in place to help bring kids into AFL pathways that otherwise would not be available, not to specific clubs themselves. What do you think WA, SA, VIC and TAS do? For the betterment of the game, not the club. If they want them, they can trade for them. No more leg ups. Id even be willing to scrap the F/S rule to even it all out. There has to be an even playing field.

		Training Ground?
		
		Id also argue that Carlton are pretty strongly aligned with the Liberal Party.

		2024 Demonland Player Sponsorship
		
		We (paid up members of Demonland) get the pride of knowing we are a very minute part of his world - but still a part. Unfortunately he gets to carry the burden that is the average Demonland hypochondriac. Good luck Koltyn

		Welcome to Demonland Koltyn Tholstrup
		
		This is a fallacy that keeps getting trotted out by many supporters. We have not finished in the top 4 this year or last. 2021, 22, 23 = 1st, 5th & 6th respectively.

		Grading the 2023 Draft
		
		It’s a Knightmare move of old to just dismiss our draft haul. He must still be their draft ‘guru’, only from afar. And we must take their opinions as gospel, because when I think AFL footy I think ESPN 🤪

		Phantom Drafts 2023
		
		The closer it gets, the more I’m wanting Sanders (Reid, McKercher, Watson and Duursma won’t be available).

		No doubt @Ethan Tremblay will be dropping his much anticipated phantom draft in just under 12 hours 😆

		Daniel Curtin
		
		I’m paraphrasing, but basically it was said that “some recruiters” feel he picks/chooses when he wants to apply himself and that his versatility is his weakness, as he has no real strengths in any one position (overhead marking, 1v1, kicking not real strengths), a Jack of all trades master of none type player.

		Welcome to Demonland: Pick 11
		
		I like the aggression and physicality of Tholstrup

		Daniel Curtin
		
		A big part of me hopes he comes out next year and tears the comp to shreds, just to stick it up all his doubters and prove that recruiting really is an in exact science.

		Jason Taylor on Gettable (17/11/23)
		
		Unless he has one of the greatest pre-seasons of all-time, his body is not ready. He needs time, not to be fed to the wolves ala Jack Watts.

		Sports Psychology
		
		A very good point raised @ElDiablo14. When the pointy end of the season has come, to me it appears that the fear of losing has outweighed our drive to win. We are very good at front running, but when we’re behind we panic and go into our shells (both the men and women). Fear of failure is definitely in play with our club atm.
