Well I'm sick of thinking about the Dees so let's talk other teams.

I just read that the bomber leadership group is Dyson Heppell and vice-captain Zach Merrett, David Myers, Orazio Fantasia and Joe Daniher.  WTF are they thinking? The only one there with any leadership is Heppell and he is not a natural leader imo.  Hurley should be skipper with Heppell and Hooker in the LG. still surely they can't lose to the saints who are imploding

Anyway, I reckon the Pies will get up tonight

Lions should beat North away - they have no injuries and are in good form (i'm tipping Lions to make the ?

Dogs may upset Hawks - could be an interesting year for the doggies

and the big one on Sunday arvo - Suns V Freo will break the reckon for interest level and lowest attendences.  even GWS will take the mickey out of that game. I wouldn't be surprised if the umpires and cameramen don't turn up!

    Big night for the Pies... are they the real deal.

    Should be a great game... Is it a sellout?

    West Coast and GWS is another game to watch closely.

    Interesting to see how Toiges go without Rance and Houli.

    I’m thinking Pies will win, just. Let’s see if Cox replicates his prelim heroics.

    Really? Hurley always looks like he's punched a dozen cones before the game as a warm-up.

    Hogan makes his debut for Freo and wish him well and hope he has a super game. 

    HW$NBN makes his debut for the Hawks but can't wish him well.  What a steel for the Hawks - 4th round pick, I think.

    Sadly, news has come thru that Dunn has done his knee in the first half of the vfl practice game

    Agree, he was a stalwart for the Dees and hated seeing him go to the filth. But somehow happy (for him) when he was announced in the leadership group. He is great footy warrior.

    Hope the knee is not as bad as expected so I can boo him at the QB game....that's the Collibobbles GF game!

    That is a shock inclusion. Daisy Thomas was never the same after a similar injury. Will be interesting to see how he comes up.

    Would love to know the real story of that trade.

    Collingwood will beat Richmond, as sure as God made little apples. Collingwood will pump the ball into their forward line so often, it'll be like the little boy with his finger in the dyke. It'll overwhelm them in the end. Collingwood have too many goal kickers and without that reprehensible toad, Rance,to defend, the Tigers have got no hope.

    Logic says the pies should win because Cox dominated the prelim when Rance was there and he isn't there tonight so Cox should dominate even more. I think I want the tigs to win just so collingwood lose again. 

    Gee Id love to see the saints beat essendon. That would be great

     RIchmonds first test without Rance, and its a big one.

    Would love to see them fall apart completely and struggle all season.

    Umpires have umpteen colours to choose from yet they wear yellow tops and black shorts at a Richmond home game - they look like Richmond players half the time....

    The Pies controlling tempo and momentum of the game by accurate passing (must have a very high kicking efficiency in general tonight) and a lot of switching (keeping off) play around the back.  Also being VERY patient waiting for the right option to hit up around the back or on a shallow forward entry.  Alternatively they kick it low and flat to the hot spot (more so than bombing) if they have to under pressure in a play on situation.

    They clearly have a game plan, most players know their roles and play accordingly and they are extremely fit and well drilled.  Barring injuries to key players they will make the GF IMHO.

    • 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.
