    That's fair, following a road trip to Perth.

    So this has us featuring on the Sunday afternoon game on Channel 7 all the way through to the end of the home  & away season.

    And after an 8 day break this week on 7 day breaks all the way to the end of regular season.

    Nice.

    I really hope we don't have to sweat on the final game (St. Kilda vs North Melbourne) again.

    Win games and it aint a problem. 

    We should be aiming top 4...

    Haha. I was trying to find a negative just for fun, it's a longer wait to find out we've missed the 8! :lol:

    Hahahah and they still manage to give Carlton a night game (Saturday). Unbeleivable!

    PS Very happy with our Sunday PM times slot just FYI.

    Good pickup! FMD.

    Good result.

    The other positive about playing Sunday is GWS may have no incentive (may have laready secured 3rd or 4th position) hence have nothing to play ofr (ala the Crows against WC in 2017).

    Hopefully we dont have to worry about that this time!!!

    It makes no sense for Carlton-Adelaide to play any time other than Sunday. Neither is finals bound so recovery time is irrelevant.

    And we end up with a crowd-killing mid-afternoon Sunday time slot just to limit our take at the gate one more time.

    Melbourne-GWS makes at least as much sense as Port-Essendon for Friday in a football sense. The Bummers could well be grounded by then.

    Can you believe Tony Jones on the Sunday Footy Show suggested that Melbourne vs Greater Western Sydney Match should be played on Friday night. I mean really just a 5 day break coming home from Perth he is a idiot.

    If we are finals bound on that Sunday against GW$, there will be a decent crowd at the ‘G

    Late Sunday is perfect for us

    3 of our last 4 games are at the G, win the next 2 and we're home I reckon. Then aim for top 4.

    He obviously didn't look at the Rnd22 fixture. The comment was more focused on Friday night's game is the showpiece game, and that the GWS v Dees game on paper looks like the best game of the round.

    Reckon we’re in. 

    Booked first week of finals accommodation - in Canberra. 

    Family wedding. 

    Gladly have earpiece in if we’re playing. 

    FWIW last family wedding was when Baileys Dees crushed Roos Swans.

    • 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.
