Are we playing one short?

We’ve done that a few times over the journey. I remember a game were we played 18 short.

    Just seem this

    Dear Ticketholder,

    The AFL and the Melbourne Cricket Club has regretfully advised that due to the unfolding COVID-19 situation in Victoria, the Melbourne v Hawthorn match scheduled for Saturday 17 July at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will take place, without fans in attendance.

    No change. Good call and a great position to be in at this stage of the season

    And based on the bulldogs game at an empty marvel stadium, we can get the tag as an empty -stadium specialist. Just like the Kangas used to be the Friday night specialists.

    I seriously think the Dogs game experience will stand us in good stead, understanding how to generate excitement within the team. hawks may struggle in this department.

    Is this the most "no change" we've had in a season?

    Gotta go close, and the least number of players used I suspect.

    Hawks have gone pretty tall, so i guess they're going to try making our big backs accountable, problem is it's 3 lesser known players who may not have the quality to prevent May, Lever and Petty from outmarking them

    Seems odd also based on the likely weather…

    I was shocked when I saw the in's. Salem, Rivers & Hunt are going to have a field day if we're switched on.

    You know how when we lose games someone will inevitably say "We lost it at selection"? There should be a Demonland rule that you can't post that unless you're prepared to say it on this thread (or its weekly equiavlent) first. 

    Same goes for taking credit after the match for supporting no change.

    (Lack of) change, as expected 

    Sparrow for medi-sub again?

    In the wet weather and potentially undesirable conditions this weekend, you would think that the Hawks would struggle, enormously, by going tall and that another ideal setting for young Sparrow is snubbed - he could assist us tremendously in ball movement as part of our mobile, scrounging and fleet-footed mid-size fitness brigade.

    expect dorks will try to rough us up a bit.....you can get away with a lot in bad weather footy

    It will not be subtle, it will be aggro/deliberated hurt; it will not be seen or penalised once by the umpires, as well. Wish AVB was playing for the Dees in these circumstances.

    And no Ceglar, meaning McEvoy has to ruck all day!  He could barely move in the last game he played. 

    No Hardwick, Jiath and Scrimshaw means their backline "talent" comes down to .....Frost!

    No VFL game might change the thinking about the medical sub. If the VFL were to be playing, I could see Sparrow being given game time there and one of the other emergencies being given the nod. But with no VFL, Sparrow moves back into the frame.

    • 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.
