    Have noticed sometimes that the odds which show up on AFL website during a game can fluctuate wildly especially after a few goal run on.

    I find it difficult to accept that these moving odds reflect wagers actually placed so there is obviously a lot of algorithms at play as to likelihoods of say a team coming from 40 pints down etc. (Given the algorithms that are written for the derivative trading world I suspect they have some complicated ones as well.)

    Yep if a team was 40 pints down they would have to have significantly shorter odds because a team that is 40 pints up aren't going to be much good at anything except spewing up all over the ground.

    p.s. bags not watching the game 'highlights'...

    I imagine if we beat Wet Toast we may shorten to > $10 

    Port is terrible and won't go far. They are much like the Eagles last year. I don't rate them.

    • 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.
