Can someone convince me that this game doesn't start in 15 minutes?

AFL website says 5:40 AEDT

It was confusing me for a while as I am overseas (as you can see with my earlier post!). But I believe it starts 5.40 Alice Springs time, which is 1.5 hours behind Melbourne. Never knew that until today.

    OK - think its a mistake on the website - it clearly says AEDT, but a 7:10pm starting time for the Eastern audience would make sense.

    Would love to see games like this in the season. Stuff trying to slow it down to ease congestion lets make it like ice hockey and get players going full bore and screaming up and down the field.

    theres more space on a hockey field per man than we have, except its much smaller on an ice hockey rink... & their quicker on Ice, skates. of course.

    benny would have been pretty nimble.

    Dees have had heaps of coverage locally. The town is pumping at the moment. My wife just witnessed a flock of people from Nyirrpi (who wear our colours and are Melbourne FC through and through) walking toward the ground covered in red and blue (hair included). Going to be a huge night for us loyal local supporters if we can snare a win.

    James Frawley won't play tonight. Trengove, McKenzie, Blease, Michie, Nicholson, Barry, M.Jones & King starting on bench

    For those who suffer from MFCSS, surely this means the final nail in the coffin on Frawley's future with the Dees.

    The one and only positive about being asked to de-board the plane in Dubai, and wait four hours to see if they can fix the door......the Demons clash. Go dees

    So after Jetstar stuffed around us around on a flight recently I discovered that deplane is actually a word. Therefore you can save a lot of time saying you had to deplane instead of deboard a plane.

    Anyway. No Frawley, no Garland. Great opportunity for Tommy Mc, Dunn and Georgiou.

    Cats playing Hawkins, Walker and 3 rucks (McIntosh, Simpson and Blicavs) so some guys are going to have to play above their height.

    I'd start Georgiou on a ruckman to see how effective he can be playing on a guy who's got quite a few inches on him. And then probably swap him on to Hawkins for a bit to see if he has the skills to take on one of the better key forwards in the league.

    Just caved into the kids demands to take them to the playground and will miss the first qtr. surely this is father of the year criteria?

    We have a pretty good cheer squad behind the goals. No such thing for the catters. Good crowd building, we take our time here in the NT.

    Geelong playing cricket in the pool pregame. Interesting reflection on their state of mind going into this match.

    • 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.
