    Agree us Demon fans need something to watch! (they would probably get a lot of demon fans watching)

    They have been on once this year - at least we have had the socceroos and soon the Tour de France to watch.

    You are lucky. I am in Europe and there is no AFL to watch whatsoever. I am going to even miss the women's match between the Dees and the Doggies!

    There are a few other things to do!

    I wonder what the argument of those who say you have to earn it is. Casey play good footy and top the ladder. Interesting.

    Casey would be rubbish to watch today - and you'd need a hell of a lot of cameras to cover them!

    Aren't Casey having a bye this week?

    Nah, they played, the went down... Barry kicked a bag and Hogan pulled in close to 20 marks.

    Still wasn't enough unfortunately.

    That may be Casey reserves but the seniors certainly had a bye.

    Thanks for that. Helpful. Of course, a quick look at the VFL website shows that they do indeed have a bye. I wonder how the reserves went?

    Pretty sure it has something to do with the ground at Casey. Its has not been setup for multiple cameras yet and therfore not suited for VFL coverage.

    You would think that we would still be televised as the visiting team every now and again though.

    I would have thought it was because the ABC would sort out their tv schedule at the start of the season to make sure they cover all teams as much as they can under their charter. So it wouldn't matter who was where on the ladder.

    Casey don't play on a Saturday until the 27th of July and that's at midday so won't be on the ABC then 17th August and that is it for the season so don't expect any more

    I suppose, given the above information, that the ABC schedule is decided when the fixture is announced. I've not looked at an AFL fixture at its release point, but if it has the time included wouldn't the 1:10 game every week be the televised game? Or do games change time occasionally?

    • 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.
