    The Swans mids play a similar game style to ours not surprising given the Roos connection....they like to flick the ball around and find space. It's a harder game style to play in wet weather for obvious reasons.

    The game will be won by the team that adapts quickest to the conditions. Our inexperience may cost us here.

    I don't think we're too tall but do worry about Dawes, probably our least skilled player. As 'binman' said earlier it's the skilled player that excels in the wet, my proviso is so long as they have an appetite for the contest and are prepared to keep their feet.

    You can bank on Tyson in these conditions.

    Worried his marking might be a bit off?

    Somehow come up on wrong thread

    Well, it's a grey sky but so far none of the winds that were forecast and no rain. Unless something changes drastically in the next couple of hours, they should be playing on a good surface even if it does rain during the game.

    A good indicator of conditions is that my son's game at the Alan Davidson Oval in St Peters that is a similar distance from the city as the SCG, is still going ahead...and they are prone to canceling games if someone so much as sneezes near the ground.

    Started to Drizzle here in paddington (a stones throw from the ground) with 20 mm to 40 mm predicted with the majority from 1 to 4 pm. 

    We seriously need to decide who are our wet weather emergencies and put them in.

    Grimes played in Ballarat yesterday!!  As did Harmes....   Michie is the only emergency up there.  Dawes has been consistently one of our better wet weather players and the focus needs to be on big bodies...

    • 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.
