After the last contest against the blues, my mouth is watering already... :rolleyes:

Suggested date from the organisers on both sites is Sunday, 1 February. Any objections ?? :unsure:

We also need to name the trophy ...

I do not like "the Warnock Brothers Tankard" because we do not know yet if one or both brothers will become long-term players at their respective clubs.

I prefer "the Duke", named after Earl Spalding, who gave great service to both clubs, but I don't want to impose my will ...

before giving people the opportunity to agree with me... :lol:

All posters welcome to put in their two cents' worth...

    I hear you, pringle...

    date not set yet, and I have been known to take bribes... :rolleyes:

    In Perth for most of Jan and all of Feb.

    Sorry Rollo

    really sorry you have to miss this one, mate...

    I was speaking to the talkingcarlton organiser yesterday, and we both expect it to be a ripper of a game... :rolleyes:

    It's all been sorted out. I just sent an email to Tennis Australia and they're cancelling the final of the Australian Open to avoid the clash and the inconvenience to commuters.

    Very gentlemanly of them too! :lol:

    sorry to hear that, wolf... :angry:

    I am looking forward to another great tussle, and this time (hopefully) on a proper-sized oval...

    unfortunately, some people will have to miss out and february 8 is better for most than february 1 at this stage...

    you are more than good enough for these contests, mate... :wub:

    don't want to hold out too much hope, but date not yet fixed with the opposition...

    I might be around Rollo or could be away... I might come to watch the first half before going.... Lets hope we get everyone on board and have a few beers after the game this time

    I'm returning from a trip to Japan on the 8th (so 1st is no good) but can't remember off the top of my head what the time of my flight back is. I have a bad feeling that it isn't early enough. :wacko:

    It disappoints me because I would LOVE to be on the ground for this one...! Especially after rollo talked up the skills of TalkingCarlton at the last game.

    • 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.
