Spoken about on AW this morning, Gill liked the Idea ... to be played in Sydney. Would be good.

    Ugh, disgraceful. How dare we even consider playing football on a day competing directly with the Darling Harbour Children's festival.

    Unless it is a night game, that'd be fine. Though it'll take a lot of candles to keep the ground lit.

    Will there be fish and chips?

    I love the idea, would be great for the club. And would be even better if we could create a bit more of a rivalry with Sydney which at the moment is virtually non existent.

    Poach a few more of their players and staff That will create a bit of rivalry.

    theres so many worthless cups and medals that teams play for these days

    but a Ron Barassi Cup would be brilliant

    Would be good in Sydney at the SCG, don't want to host it in Melbourne.

    I like it - the Barassi Cup - a four way, over the top rope, battle royale - Melbourne vs Sydney vs Carlton vs North.

    The AFL needs a Melbourne v Sydney Rivalry....Would certainly boost east coast TV ratings if it became entrenched.

    Good idea....Hope the Home Ground is held by the Winner of the previous year.....INCENTIVES.

    Word has it that Roos will be taking along a Tip Top sandwich loaf and a Birds Eye fish finger and distributing them among the entire crowd. And if it rains? Well... just make sure you have a wine glass with you.

    Brilliant, Easter in Sydney works for me

    Just what I was thinking gg. They'll say equalisation payments more than compensates the transition

    Would that mean we lose our Queens Birthday fixture?

    Lets be positive...by that time we will be so successful we will have a few stand alone Friday/Sat night games, maybe ANZAC Eve and 50,000+ members and Eddie can keep his precious Easter Monday and his supporters can stop the ridicule about it being our Grand Final!

    So like us playing for the Ron Barassi Senior Cup, Trophy, Shield whatever it was we played for in the mid 2000s against the Swans on or near Anzac Day?

    Good thinking. Had the pleasure of March/April up there this year. Champagne weather. But somehow it still rained/stormed for every damn game of football for a month.

    So will gate takings go to Sydney for this game? Would we get anything?

    I'd prefer it go to Kangas & Bulldogs, but that's just me. Sydney have enough $$$

    Yes we would at least one Friday Night game every year if it was to be set in stone, always good for corporate exposure and advertising. It's why Eddie loves Anzac day and knows it is such a cash cow.

    I would not mind it being a regular event where we play away every good Friday against them and make it very much a Sydney (NSW) vs Melbourne (Vic) rivalry to gain more interest in the harbor city, I think the AFL would be keen on this

    Would rather marquee Friday night games in Melbourne than this Good Friday game.

    Plus it would mean we play interstate in round 1 as I think Easter falls that weekend next year.

    Not as excited as others re: this.

    LH, let's continue towards success, get to 50,000 members, keep Queens Birthday and then trounce the Pies for the next decade on a day that we'll never give up to Eddie

    • 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.
