    I actually laughed. It's pretty funny.

    If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? It's pretty much spot on. When the sport started, the club was for the rich people, up until the 60s. From the on in, the club lost its culture.

    I love Convict Creations. If you look at the other club profiles, he makes a pretty concerted effort to insult every team equally based on their prevailing public perception (e.g that Collingwood supporters are ferals, or that to barrack for Essendon is to throw your support behind a soulless corporation). They're all written with tongue firmly in cheek, but he still manages to give a pretty good account of the history of the clubs and the code in general. In fact the site in general is a great starting point for anyone curious about any given Australian sporting code, artistic movement, political party or whathaveyou- it has alot of brief, highly entertaining rundowns of pretty much anything having to do with Australian culture and history.

    You have to read that article with a thick skin, basically, because he's pretty much taking the [censored].

    It's good light hearted entertainment.

    The morale of the story is never take seriously someone who can't spell the name Barassi.

    Didn't upset me, didn't amuse me!

    What amazes me is that people take the time to write this stuff, especially when it is so unoriginal, and that applies to the Collingwood one as well (though I did laugh at that one) :rolleyes:

    • 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.
