    Are these games televised? 

    No.

    The club might do a live stream at best.

    The stream last year against Nth Melbourne was great- hopefully they can arrange it again.

    And they also did a pretty good stream the year before against Collingwood at Olympic Park.

    Fingers crossed we can get another.

    We will get a live stream for sure.  Whether that be via the Demon or Tigers website or both.

    Good to start amongst the best

    lol, you always say stuff like that, as if we actually learn something from being mauled by a premiership contender. ?

    As always, it's the young kids I'm most interested in. Also to see who is played on the left wing opposite Langdon and whether any of our new coaches has made a difference to our inside 50's.

    Best way to find out anything is to play good teams. We need to plan to beat them, not just be “competitive”

    It's a practice game. The coaching staff will say the result is unimportant and that we needed to work on our set plays/game style/inside 50 "connections" etc.

    I'd take a win any time, but mostly hope for zero injuries and a look at the kids.

    A three day practice game should sort out the fitness levels anyway.

    I hear you, but our list has to learn how to beat opponents, not just turn up and put in a good performance,  our kids will only get better once they know what pressure is

    My well placed Tigers source said there will be a 6 quarter scratch match vs the Tigers this Thursday at Casey.

    Thanks mate.

    Spalding suggested that the game at Casey may be on this Thursday so he's the man to speak to.

    Sorry for the bum stead.

    when I questioned my mate about an exact time, he says it was “delayed” - whatever that means (maybe it still is the 25th).

    apologies again - I hope no-one had already made plans.

    we don't even know how many players will be used. a bit hard to predict a line up. also, who really cares. There's a few guys with niggles etc. which means they may or may not play. All I care about is the new draftees, no-one else.

    B: LOCKHART, J.SMITH, JETTA

    HB: BOWEY, PETTY, RIVERS

    C : ROSMAN, JORDON, BAKER

    HF: LAURIE, MCDONALD, NEAL-BULLEN

    F: PICKETT, WEIDEMAN, SPARGO

    FOLL: JACKSON, SPARROW, JONES

    IC: HUNT, HARMES, FARMER,  D.SMITH, BEDFORD, BRADTKE, CHANDLER, NEITCHSKE 

     

    It's a pretty alternative team but I think they will play most of their reserves players in this one and play a much stronger side against the Bulldogs.

    If it is a six quarter match surely there will be a large number of players involved. In fact you would think the majority of the list would get a couple of quarters each.

    • 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.
