On the live trade period telecast, i expect to see the usual tacky stuff.

* Countdown timer.

* Footage of club officials running down corridors with papers in hand.

* Same officials on their phones with finger in opposite ear, with furrowed brows.

* Increasingly excited commentary towards period end.

* Interviews with various club officials talking about how they got their "target" (And how much work went on behind the scenes)

* Gill doing something..... ANYTHING to be on TV and help out Fox because $$

 

What i dont expect to hear...... 

*Anyone admit most of the "last minute" trades were actually decided days earlier, but held back per AFL "suggestions" (because Fox $$)

 

What have i missed?

    If Jesse was less introverted I would have expected him to be paraded out in a Freo jumper but I doubt he'd be up for that. Maybe some Freo socks.

    A bunch of middle aged white blokes trying to pretend that what they are doing is more important than curing cancer and ending world wars, whilst displaying their non-existent personalities.

    They don't help her by making her regurgitate the [censored] said on Twitter. She is ex-MFC so worthy of some pleasantries.

    That doesn't help either.

    List managers punching on, lifting chairs above their heads. 

    We need far more of that

    • 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.
