    Who really cares who is favourite........?????

    As a non gambler, Is it better to be the underdog????? ie, not have the expectation

    Gary Ablett alone is probbaly as good as 12 of our players combined that will be out there Sunday.

    Still think we will win though.

    The odds are about right I think.

    GCS have way better form than us and with our injuries at present they will have a lot better team on the field on Sunday.

    I expect them to win by about 6 goals.

    As for GWS, 2014 they will pass us.

    The only up side I see for the Dees is 2nd draft pick this year and first in 2014.

    Aren't odds partly calculated by punter spending habits?

    It's no surprise that people are putting their cash essentially equally on GC and Melbourne, a little more so on GC.

    This is not shocking news. Odds aren't really indicative of "where a team is at"...it just represents what punters think of the team.

    Were gold coast favourites last year? i remember they were fancied by alot of people, and the score at quarter time was like 46-2 our way or something, these expansion teams just don't seem to play well at the G yet

    I think I can confidently say Bossdog that there would be not one Dees supporter who has any expectation for the Dees.

    The only thought most of us have these days is "how big will the loss be"

    Bloody sad but there you are.

    We started at 1.80 favourites.

    I'm the most pessimistic mfc supporter on the planet, but I'm quietly confident we can beat the Suns, simply due to it being at the G.

    Wow. Great odds for us, I'd say.

    Isn't it funny that Demonlanders are now using betting odds to slag on the club. Any excuse to be pessimistic, I guess.

    Didn't Ablett miss this game last year?

    Denial is a wonderful human trait Chook.

    May you remain happy through the coming years.

    Nah, he and benell were the two best players on the ground, bout 6 million touches between them and 3 goals to ablett and 4 to benell or something, either way they were the only two decent players they had.

    Pessimism is a wonderful human trait Old Dee.

    May you never be unpleasantly surprised through the coming years.

    GCS were actually favourites before the last round was played.

    Evidently the betting public are unimpressed by the conservative Selection Table choices (no need to name any names here).

    The day is young, expect them to further shorten.

    That makes us even because our Dixon isn't playing for us either.

    Come to think of it Brian hasn't played for quite a while but let's face it, his loss amounts to a significant reduction in games played. :lol:

    WJ I think you may have over dosed on Bananas at lunch mate.

    Easy you can have too much of a good thing!

    I've watched the sun a few times this year. We will struggle.

    I hope GCS take all their tall players in. Sunday forecast is 19 with rain. Who knows, Nicholson and McDonald's kicking might look alright if no one else can kick a waterlogged footy!

    • 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.
