Forget the rest of the video and Bruce waffling on about how great the stadium is.

Best Channel Seven opening/best thing ever done by a boy band who were never heard of again.

    'Teddy Whitten'

    Thanks for the footage Dee, I was actually at that game and saw EJ do the lap. Pretty sure I was at the first game after he passed away and all clubs for that round had a minutes silence (I think we were playing West Coast, but I could be wrong). I do remember how you could hear a pin drop from the other side of the G, chilling stuff.

    Remember watching The Footy Show the night EJ passed away, and Doug Hawkins was on the panel - he was devistated.

    EJ was a character, a great footballer and would be very disappointed that the SOO is not played in today's game.

    Thanks Billy. I was not into footy at the time, so had lost touch with things AFL. I was disillusioned & disenchanted, so stayed away from the club. So when i heard Teddy was sick, I thought he'd be right. I didn't know he was on deaths door & mu mum was in the same boat then, but no one told me.

    When they did the Lap of honor, I was stunned from the response, & thought something was drastically serious with him.

    I was tearing up somehow recognising the occasion...

    I sat down with the missus to watch that great game.

    SOO is the best! A Real Tribal rivalry that we've lost with the national comp. Even the international is nowhere near those games emotions.

    Remember the VFL Waverly game, when Robbie lined up on WA's Peak & tore him a new one.

    • 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.
