Great to see on the AFL site that #26 and #50 are returning through the ressies on the weekend. Tempting to head down to Willy to have a look.

2 weeks ahead of schedule apparently

    And isn’t fantastic that they get to participate in a VFL practice match almost a month after the AFL seasons starts?

    The VFL is a joke. The AFL’s involvement has killed the stand alone VFL clubs, the season is so poorly out of sync with the AFL that it only allows 50% of the development time the Reserves used to, and the facilities and ground conditions don’t prepare developing players for their AFL careers. COVID has taken the focus off the VFL’s troubles, but it needs to change, and quickly. 

    It’s sub standard, and serves literally no one well - including the clubs, players and supporters.

    I read in an article on the MFC app, that both the Weed and Brown played in an intraclub game last weekend. Does anyone have any info as to how they went?

    Thank you, been saying the same.

    Should go back to having the reserve teams and bring back the VFA.

    • 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.
