I agreed at the start of the year to go to the game at Manuka tonight with a Hawks mate.

    Tonight will be interesting. No idea why you would fixture a friday night game in canberra in the middle of august. 

    I hope really hope the dogs can knock off the bummers.

    These 2 teams should be wearing a Clash Jumper, if such things are needed. 

    But of course the aren’t of course, because the AFL is a joke

    What Einstein would schedule a night game in Canberra in August?

    The buck should surely stop with the CEO.

    Shame Melbourne isn't playing.

    Could have gone to the footy and snow at the same time.

    Up close the jumpers are readily distinguishable but I agree on the longer shots there is a blending of the various shades of orange.

    Cannot understand the childish love of AFL clubs for the jumpers. They must be the only sport that has not moved on to having clear clash strips.

    Hell I saw Liverpool playing recently in a blue strip and no one batted an eyelid.

    That's the joke on twitter about Melbourne should be up there playing with the snow and all and the other jokes are about Mumford and white stuff.

    I live in the damn place.  Glad I chickened out on going to Manuka tonight.  There's enough snow in my back yard!

    GW$ looking almost Melbournian tonight.  No urgency and just structureless 

    Not sure how they will find the goals.

    Surely Leon Cameron is on thin ice. For all of their concessions and talent, GWS don’t look like going close to a flag anytime soon.

    Gee wiz these Giants are going to go nowhere in the finals. If I was their coach I would tear strips off a number of them but then you aren’t allowed to do that with these young ones!

    One does not simply schedule an extended outdoor activity in Canberra, at night, in August.

    The average overnight temperature is 2 degrees, and it typically gets close to that range within a few hours of the sun going down.

    Rain is a one in three chance on any given day for the month, higher in early August. The soil is always damp so the wind is always biting, and that wind comes directly off the highlands, continuously, for the whole month.

     

    I genuinely miss it.

    But since the AFL is supposed to serve sane/normal people, this fixture is just incredibly stupid.

    Where is the million dollar forward Cameron? Hardly had a touch, incredible bunch of soft talent that can only perform when it suits them it seems. Just a bit too cold it seems.

    It is...or was. ...a Winter game ? Yeah !!

    • 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.
