Now back to my previous state of being less concerned about cancellation and more concerned about getting shizhouse seats again. The seats in front of the hill section where we sat last time are so low down my kids couldn’t see over the fence, and I barely could either.

You ‘G regulars don’t know how lucky you are. Some seats are better than others, but there’s literally no bad seat in the house there. I’ve never found one anyway.

Don’t mention good seats at the G this season. I’m glad we can attend, but the joke of not being able to use my $700 a year chair... Oh boy... I rage!

    Yeah it definitely was Tuesday originally, and I stupidly spent 15mins trying to buy a ticket at 11am this morning, until it clicked??. And I just ran into Big Maxxy at 7/11 Frankston, and asked if he knew where the game is going to be played, and he said whilst they don't officially know yet, he sounded pretty confident that the game will go ahead in Hobart.

    Meanwhile, what happens with ticketing?

    Surely the best thing to do is to move this game to Marvel Stadium at 1.10pm on Sunday and reallocate a later North game to Blundstone? 

    This would allow tickets to be sold to the supporters of both clubs and avoid the uncertainty and a possible fiasco.

    Now on sale at 2pm going by the Ticketek site. Surely a decision has been made by now.

    Why do people keep saying the later  game can be relocated to Tassie, we only play North once.

    I hope it is moved to Marvel. One less interstate game (albeit a very short trip) is a great thing.

    They mean a game against another club.

    Of course it is better for us to play at Marvel. Firstly we play better there, secondly good preparation for our big game there against the Dogs. Less travel, no weather to contend with. It would be a big advantage to us.

    Well I hope they mean between North and another club.  It has nothing to do with us.

    Yeah I don't get this. Obviously the final decision rests with the Tasmanian State Government so I don't see why a decision hasn't been made yet.

    Thunderstorms predicted for the Gold Coast.

    Why not relocate the game to there and put the teams in a hub for old time’s sake?

    I’ve emailed the AFL about playing at Marvel this week, then swapping our 2nd game against the Bulldogs with the Kangaroos in Tassie. No word back yet, but I’m confident it’ll get the go ahead.

    Some other suckers to play down there .... maybe Collingwood or Essendon.

    Is that correct? I thought it leaked quite badly in the early days. Perhaps I'm mistaken. 

    it definitely leaked.

    • 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.
