I won't do a daily countdown because they can get boring, but only 28 days to our Nab cup start.

    WJ any info on where Waylen Mansen ended up after missing selection in the drafts.

    Also I am keen to see how Hall goes with the Lions as he was another that many including myself wanted rookied.

    Very little known about him since the drafts. His NTFL team Waratah has only won one game since winning the first six on the trot and that was against chopping block Darwin. This has occurred after Manson, Fevola and Pettifer stopped playing. I suppose it's what happens when you have mercenaries who aren't totally dedicated to the cause at a club.

    Do I detect a "go" at a very new AFL club North of the Murray and West of Sydney?

    Le Beau Cheval any relation to Vite Cheval - Good horse in its day

    Based on this tipster's past record it might be a good idea to avoid both like the plague.

    Hahaha!! "Walk Away..."

    Whilst on horse racing. Redleg, do you give any hope for any runner against Black Caviar as she steps up to the 1400m in the Futurity Stakes and Orr Stakes and perhaps end Black Caviar's run of 18 wins ?

    Pinker Pinker, I think is in the Futurity Stakes ...

    On her disclosed form she would have no difficulty at the 1400. Given she wins hands and heels easily I would imagine that unless she is not herself or is injured she would win. I don't say that however would necessarily be the case over longer trips.

    She has never felt the whip and has hardly been tested and has never been pushed out to win, but rather always eased down. She accelerates in a flash without effort and puts 4-5 lengths on the field effortlessly. She is a sensational sprinter and one of the best ever in the world. We are privileged to have seen her.

    Green and Moloney must be extremely disappointed. Our most passionate player, who just happens to be the current club B & F doesn't even make the leadership group of 8. I can see some resentment against the new Coach.

    Last year means nothing to the new coach, & nor it should.

    I have no problems with the Coach stamping his mark on the club as it is his head on the block. I just point out there are going to be a few boys who will be upset with his call.

    Tittles don't mean anything when your out on the ground. Beamer will always give 100% and will probably see it as a challenge.

    So as a coach, do you select players for their leadership qualities, or because they'll be upset if they miss out?

    Is that a serious question? I was just pointing out that we will have some unhappy players in the group. If that unhappiness manifests itself in form or attitude or behaviour it will need addressing, that is my point.

    By the same criteria Rivers would also be weeping into his weetbix. No one's saying much about him though.

    Edit: point being that 2011 leaders failed.

    Don't forget Flash, who carries the indigenous leadership hopes and was suggested by many to be Captain last year.

    • 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.
