I'm not sure why, but I get the feeling this will be a good round of footy. Or at least an entertaining one.

    The only downside to our so-far improved prospects this year is that it matters a lot to us which other team beats which other team.  I'm forced to barrack for teams I hate just because it improves our top 8 prospects.  Arrrggghhhhh!

    Rampe is in great form BBO but Richards being out for me swings it in Norths favour.

    It is cold but conditions still good.

    If you're in a Footy Tipping competition, pick Port Adelaide.

    That way if we win or lose you'll still be happy!!!!

    Suppose that depends how much or what you bet.

    North are going to get thumped tonight ,they have had such an easy start to the season.

    Their first game Adelaide,currently 8th,they beat by 10 points,same scoring shots though.

                             Lions currently 16th,lions kicked bad,32 shots to 28 not a convincing win.

                             US -- 31 shots each and umpiring gave then that game.

                             Freo currently 18th on the ladder and Freo kicked bad 31 shots to 32.

                            gold coast--15th on the ladder 29 to 26 shots.

                           Then they played the Dogs won,16 shots to 15. close game

                         They then played the Saints,won,11.16  -  11.9.  Saints are 13 th on the ladder.

                        Next up,Essendon, they won,24 shots to 20.

                        and last week,fair enough Carlton they won well.

    But tonight they come up against a real team, They don't deserve to be 9--0.

    Quietly hoping they do. Know a few Norf supporters and they all need to be taken down a peg or two.

    If Norf win I'll eat my hat.

    North are better than Swans by a fair margin, played in Sydney makes it interesting.

    Norf by as far as you can kick your hat

    Hope Swans win, but i don't like either team.

    It's such an open season that anyone who makes the 8 this year could win it IMO.

    They start so well at the sG, the Swannies.

    Going to be interesting to see if Norf have any brash ones and come back from here, they look totally overawed at this point. Massive game and they chitting the bed.

    You could argue Hawks were flat last week just like Geelong were. 

    Who ever wins I'd be surprised if one team gets flogged.

    I was wrong.

    • 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.
