I think they're in the same boat as us in terms of listed players being available for this game.

Yep, just slipped over to Bomber Blitz (it's ok, I've showered since) and they sound very much like us and will be relying on a few members that are attending to give updates. I wonder if the Demon twitter feed might get a workout?

As a side note; I don't make a habit of visiting other fan sites but my clear impression is; none of them come close to the functionality and visual excellence of DL. Kudos to you Andy.

    I'd be disappointed if it didn't. Hopefully a few of the Demonland faithful will be there to fill in any gaps.

    I spoke today to an Essendon insider who feels that the Bombers will field a reasonable squad. Given that this will be their best team because they don’t have a Marsh Cup game over the weekend, they should be too strong for our second string team missing a large number of players through injury.

    That smells like you are preparing us for a big loss WJ.

    I will still go but would like to have an idea of what Melbourne players will be playing.

    Given they're not in the team or 8 man bench for the Crows game tomorrow or they're injured.

    Any of the following could play

    Bedford

    Jordon

    Rivers

    Hunt

    Hore

    Chandler

    C Wagner

    Bradtke

    Tell me, what would be a bigger worry (Not for us)? Basically a seconds Melbourne getting flogged? Or a decent Essendon side fighting a hard fought win and only winning by a couple of goals?

    Cue the usual suspects still slashing their wrists over losing the game by 8 goals when we're only fielding a small handful of AFL listed players.

    Going along with our pre season theme, have we started an hour early, before oppo arrives, and built up a big lead yet?

    We have, but so far we've kicked 10 points and 4 out on the full.

    Players are in full panic mode.

      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.
