    Doesn't make any sense to me either for tonight or for a GF.  Surely if the AFL just has to drop the afternoon GF (for fear of not maximising $ or whatever), then a normal night game is far more sensible than 4:30pm.

    That will happen a few years later. 

    We want a Day game, the Broadcaster wants a night game. 

    The change will slowly happen

    Just at the Sydney airport waiting to fly back to Melbourne, I think a lot of people have seriously underestimated the level of support the Giants have. I have seen four people in Giant Jumpers.

    But I don't see how doing it gradually makes any sense: 4:35, 5:00, 5:30:6:30, 7:30???    It's not something that can be achieved by creeping up on us.  Or are we boiling frogs?

    I want a Day game. But the NRL Final has shown Ch 7 what they will have in time. 

    4.35 will become 7.30

    Money on it

    Is todays timeslot due to GWS able to get home tonight if they win so they aren't staying in melbourne another night? Because if it was at night they wouldn't get back in time for the sydney airport curfew.

    But go gws today. I just don't think I could survive a week of a rich/coll gf build up. Last year I went to sydney to get out of the gf for the weekend, this year I can't afford to go anywhere plus I have to work the next day.

    I thought that might be it but wanted confirmation.

    Begs the question of why today's game was not played last night and R v G tonight

    That might be the AFL's thinking and fair enough too but, if so, there's no reason the game couldn't be played at the usual 2.10 or even 2.30 timeslot.   4.35 makes no sense at all to me.

    Still blame hawthorn for giving the pies an easy ride to the prelim with gifting them a  top 4 chance. Seeing Joffa and all the filth fans walking over the bridge chanting just makes you want to throw up. Hopefully he is looking miserable at the end. Ed to in the stands, hopefully he is looking angry. 

    Interesting to hear David Teague and some of the carlton players were there last night obviously wanting to see his players gain insight to what finals footy is about. I know we were in a prelim last year but some of our young boys that haven't had finals experience hopefully have tuned in to see what finals is all about.

    If you are mumford you would just bang straight into grundy 1st bounce. 

    Mummy has nothing to lose ...he needs to be his usual 'crash in' self to put Grundy off a tad

    Cameron plays the way I always hoped Hogan would for us.

    Can goal and can play a dominant chf role when needed

    Leave Tomlinson and throw a giant bucket at Cameron next year a la Gazza's suggestion?

    • 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.
