I was feeling ok about this match a day ago but as it gets closer I’m getting nervous again. This is a really big test for our maturity, a chance to go 3-0 and set ourselves up for the year, it’s a situation that has my MFCSS going nuts. 

I really want to see if our pressure from last week continues into this week, GWS will be feeling their season slip away if they go 0-3 so it’s huge for them. Would love to see a statement similar to last weeks opening bounce from us. Oh and accurate kicking for goal please!!!

    No change makes sense. 
    I want to see someone absolutely bang the door down to get selected 

    Hard to do when there are no reserve grade games this weekend ?

    I wonder, I’m glad they’ve sent Baker back to Casey. No need to keep him with the sun with no match practice (though I think there’s no matches this weekend!). Either way it’s good to get someone else in the sub role, I reckon Hibberd or Melksham should go in there. 

    No change is the best thing for the team. 

    See above.

    I'm annoyed.

    I  won't get the chance to yell, after Perryman is paid a rubbish free kick:

    DON'T PAY THE PERRYMAN!!!

    Would it make a difference if he was on the other side....

    Baker, although not getting a run last week, is omitted from this week's squad.

    they do this to rotate the player not playing so the same player doesn't go more than a week without an actual match of footy, my guess is melky in the vest today

    I know they don't usually line up as selected but seeing Jones on the wing is the stuff of nightmares.

    Jones' strength and experience will serve us well against GWS.

    Anyone know if there was/is an intra-club match this weekend? 

    Difficult for this weeks non AFL selected players to make a case for selection, especially those that are regular/semi-regular AFL players:  Melksham, Hibberd, Smith, Petty etc.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
