Instead of finding this comforting, it's making me feel more anxious that we will look even worse than we already do if we lose to Sydney.

    McVeigh is a huge out for them.

    He is a weapon in the area we suck at. Everyone we have lost to this season has killed us transitioning the ball out of our forward line and into their own.

    Hayward almost just as big for us given his 'speed and goal sense'.

    Small and medium forwards have been killing us this year.

    Franklin won’t need to ping them 55 out from the boundary. He will be gorging courtesy of Joe the Goose.

    Never confident whenever we play a side with a big out...  never seems to go our way, like first gamers tearing us apart.  Often embarrassing.

    First round vs Port. They had about five top liners out!

    We know how that ended.

    WE have too many injuries, a suspect game plan under 666 and too many players with lost form. On a ground where we almost never win that is in bad shape, imagine how we will slip and slide.

    Think 2020 when we have a chance at the SCG.

    Got a mate of mine who lives in Sydney, he says the ground resembles and plays like any suburban ground in a non descript outland suburb and says it is far from being suitable for any form of sport at present!

    That must be worrying for the AFL??

    Why picket?  the same number will go to the ground and the same number will watch on TV no matter what the ground condition. That is what fills their coffers. If one game over the weekend looks poor or a player suffers a long term injury then too bad. Does not matter in the overall scheme of things.

    Tom Morris (3AW) confirmed that the game will go ahead even if the stadium is deemed unsafe, because they don’t have a contingency plan.

    Could’ve sworn GWS play at another stadium in Sydney....

    On a good day it holds 20k, facilities ordinary and no Swans signage .

    And in the end the afl could not care less.

    I booked flights (for me and my son) for this match a month ago.

    Given the above comments, and the team's start to the season ... I can hardly wait.

    • 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.
