My kids want to be late to school tomorrow.  Can I get Gill the Dill to call the principal and sort it?

    Just shows the pull of AFL in the big end of town. It's no joke. Aussie Rules is embedded at the pointy end of Australian life the way other sports can only dream of.

    The CEO of the NRL never got an au pair through the red tape. (But then again, an NRL au pair would be a Russian tractor driver, not a blonde Francaise!)

    For sure. All it takes is one phone call from Gil. (And a $10,000 donation to the school.)

    I suspect there's an innocent explanation to all of this. Probably something to do with Gillion mis-hearing and believing he was acting on an application for a priority pick. 

    I think Gillon actually misread the advertisement for AFL head honcho:  he thought it was for the Australian Polo League.  He could even, perhaps, have run that one quite competently?

    I'd let the polo player in if the trade off is that we send Hamish to Argentina.

    It's crying out for him. Have you seen the price of braised beef and burgundy cottage pies at Portsea?

    • 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.
