    How many years in a row has this happened, too?  When do the AFL stop gifting Carlton this game and actually give it to a team who could make it competitive?  

    I know I'm going early as the Blues might make a come... nah, who am I kidding.

    Rather like Druggies v Filth ANZAC, this became “traditional” after about one or two years.

    Bruce - "it was Carlton's lowest ever 1st quarter score vs Richmond if you can believe it"

    They scored one behind. I mean Bruce there's only one other possible answer is there...

    Having a bit of an analytical look at the game...

    The Tiges really struggle to get clean ball from centre clearances.

    If they can't sort it out they're not winning a flag this year...

    Richmond vs Carlton -  Game has started so my predictions are irrelevant.

    Collingwood vs Geelong - Pies by 27

    Adelaide vs Hawthorn -  Crows by 20

    Western Bulldogs  vs  Sydney  -   Swans by 15

    Brisbane vs West Coast - Coasters by 24 (But i really want Brissy to win, they should be quite good this year)

    St Kilda vs Gold Coast  -  Saints by 1

    GWS  vs  Essendon  -  Giants by 36

    Fremantle vs  North  -  Norf by 12

    As long as we win, the other results won't matter to me one bit tbh. Much as i suspect every other AFL supporter thinks.

    Your predictions are irrelevant whether the game has started or not, who cares.

    Another Tom Scully. Runs hard but absolutely butchers it.

    Interesting to watch a couple of their kids 'dazz'

    Will be good players but nowhere near the class of Oliver.

    Walsh is struggling with the pressure of the game and will settle.

    Oliver took to it like a duck to water, plenty of time from game one...

    Tigers went into sleep mode during that quarter. Only reason why carlscum are " in it " Bump on revolt was nothing.

    I can see a fair few Tigers getting poleaxed this season. Their manic 'go forward' running leaves little room for awareness. A couple of times they've been hit solidly, it'll only takes some better timing to clean someone up.

    Love having the Blues open every season.  Such an exciting competitive team full of guns.

    Give them every Friday night too.

    Curnow will be another Jesaulenko in time and Carlton will be more than competitive including finals in 3/4 years.

    Thanks for that Jezza

    Rance is a diving pansy. 

    Twice he had normal contact and fell over like a weak [censored]. Then the umps fell for it! 

    Blatent dives that he should be fined for but nothing will happen! Infuriating

    I'd love someone like Jack Higgins in our forward line.  Little ripper of a player.

    There is certainly room Wise, lets hope someone stands up.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
