    Hard to believe that a club can be in the GF nine years after its inception and of course been in the finals for three years before.

    Out of interest who is credited with their now brilliant policy of draft young and trade. Looking at GCS and where they are you have to give it to them.

    West Coast won within seven years of entering the comp and Adelaide within six.

    Trying to see some positives from an MFC perspective but staring at the GC priority pick and their Darwin zone it's hard to see.

    Watching the captains/coaches press conference today, I’m struck by the vast chasm between theirs and ours when it comes to confidence, eloquence and overall intelligence. 

    We’re not going to win a premiership until we have that kind of leadership. Right now, we are not even close.

    So true. I wonder if a new Captain will be announced next week?

    Well it will either be close or Richmond will blow gws out of the water. 

    I know we have spoken of scully but I wonder how shiel feels today as well 

    I just think how marlion feels today waking up. You think of the legends who never won a premiership. Lockett, ablett skilton and this guy could just waltz in win a flag in his 1st ever game and get life membership

    There's a touch of arrogance with the Tiges bringing in Pickett for his first game.

    No matter what the party line the 2 boys who were pulled from a GF last week must be feeling it.

    They not only didn't get to play in the GF, they didn't get to audition for a spot in the big one.

    Must ruffle some feathers.

    If GWS have them covered at half time I think they (GWS) will run away with it.

    Richmond let teams get head starts and they have a belief in their ability to run them over.

    One day they are not going to come back.

    I hope it's this one...

    I think the Giants will win today. I used to hate their guts with a passion, as their inception and player drafting coincided with the time we needed it most. However, I now see a team that plays for each other and is passionate about the guernsey. They seem to have hit a sweet spot with the guys who have stuck with them on their list.

    Will barracking the Giants home today and I actually think they will win. Certainly don't deserve to be $3.30 outsiders, closer to a 50/50 game I would've thought.

    The gws memes that have been going around on social media have been quite good.

    Here in the g now there is a good spread of orange. Way more than you see at a home and away game

    I'm doing what I did last year as I can't bare to watch it properly.

    I'll watch from three quarter time onwards if it's close. I expect Richmond to win easily. Urgh.

    Sounds very much like you're more hopeful than anything else, mate.

    Richmond win it unfortunately.

    • 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.
