May seem like a stretch but I'm in desperate need of two additional AFL Members barcodes. Have a bunch of people in from interstate and have used up mine plus all family and friends, and want to avoid slugging them for a guest pass.

Anyone have a spare barcode they won't be using that I can reserve some seats with?

    I am of the opinion we will make a bit of a statement in this game and have an easy win...

    If Gawn gives silver service to our mids, good luck with the run on the outside Saints.

    I also have the same feeling. But mind you, I also had the same feeling going into the Bombers game.

    I feel better knowing Lewis is playing, to give guidance to the youngsters. Sometimes experience is not recognized for its great worth.

    I hope that the selectors just pick the best side for the Saints game on Saturday and then sit down and do exactly the same thing a couple of days later for the Tiges match. 

    We need to win the games one at a time. Pick the best side available and then after that match is over assess the players and their condition and pick the best side available for the next game.

    That's simple, but it assumes the teams we are playing are identical.  I'd prefer sides which was most likely to win each game. Extra runners or talls etc depending on the strength and weakness of the opponent.  Obviously that needs to be done without too much disruption.

    Sue, maybe I should have made it a little clearer. I thought that my first sentence made it clear that we would be selecting the best team available for the different circumstances given the differences between the Saints and Tiges.

    Disappointed that Garlett or Lockhart didn’t get a look in.

    Stretch will never make it if he isn’t given some time in the seniors.

    Vote of confidence in Marty Hore after his good game last week.

    OMac has been ordinary, and unable to halve a 1 on 1 contest

    Love the changes, though would liked to have seen one of Garlett or Lockhart in.    Yeah we look short down back, but T Mac can go down there in case of emergency.  Not like hes doing anything up forward.

    A big vote FD.  VERY early days but Hore is already tracking (statistically) at 16% above Oscar's average output last season and 53% higher than Oscar's 2019 season averages in his 2 games so far.

    • 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.
