    One of the best things about watching the AFLW games is the brilliant commentary by Jason Bennett and Nigel Carmody? Why these guys in prime time is beyond me.

    More of these guys and less BT.

    I listen to the radio. 
     

    Corbin Middlemas is at the top of the heap.

    Knowing what was coming I turned off the sound and listened to a jazz radio station over in New Jersey. CH7 should sell their commentary feed to Guantanamo Bay.

    I think the AFLW is so much better because Jason Bennett isn’t a big personality. No bombast or hysteria. Just calls it as it is. Plain and simple. I think the fact he isn’t an ex footballer helps as well.

    BT is too overpowering. I’m trying to follow the action but find myself shaking my head at his over-the-top nonsense. He distracts me from the game.

    And just remember Folks the mute button is there for a reason. Use it.

    Agreed.

    Jason Bennett should be on the full time channel 7 calling roster in the home and away season, if he hasn’t already.

    He used to call for the old Fox Footy in the mid 2000’s.

    Not having Foxtel or Kayo, I watch down the pub. No need for a mute button as they never have the sound on! ?

    My favourite of the night was Hodge, 5 point game with 7.28 left on the clock in the last: 

    ‘the next 5 to 10 minutes will be critical here’

    There's a bloke on Fox who I enjoy listening to as well.

    I think his name is Adam Papalia??

    It’s not great, but it’s already better without Bruce to be fair. Yes, he’s an icon, but he had completely lost it later on in his career.

    The best bit about channel 7 footy is the vision. Turn off the sound I do all the time.

    • 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.
