    Living in South East Queensland, I was originally quite happy when our game Vs the Suns was switched last week, as I'd inadvertently double booked myself with a camping trip.

    Was stoked when I booked my tickets for today's game on Thursday night.

    Really flat about things being cancelled this morning.

    Guess I was really fated not to watch this game in person. 

    Yep a real bummer. Got the freebies for myself and grand sons then purchased tickets for 3 others and was looking forward to the short drive and seeing them live then this happens. Then thought OK I'll fill the bar fridge up and watch them on TV. That's also canned so I will just have to empty the bar fridge and watch whoever. Not happy Jan.

    So where does this leave our fixture against GC? Are we now having a bye and playing the Eagles?

    Geez, I'm stoked.

    Just landed at Coolangatta Airport and some nice bloke sold me his 5 tickets to today's game for my entire family and even gave me a 10% discount.

    Why wouldn’t we be returning to VIC and GC Suns heading on a plane to VIC to play tomorrow, as opposed to heading to Perth and having a game to catch up on before finals?

    I've been mellow this year compared to most couple of years? I've also limit my interaction on game day threads purely on this but half the time I'm with my Melbourne supporting mate watching the footy.

    So we flew up this morning? What do we do now, come back home or go to perth? 

    Also why can't we play & just not have crowds?

    Don't mellow too much! It's part of the fabric of Demonland!

    I hope our game doesn't get re-scheduled for mid-week. The club should lobby hard to extent the season by a week or do we still have the pre-finals bye to fall back on?

    That's so funny. I just presumed all of us who post on here have no mates and watch the game in a isolation whereby we can vent our fury. (heaps of projection in that statement).

    Enroute to Perth right now, turned around midair 


    Welcome to COVID reality on Gold Coast. Life has progressed pretty much as normal up here so we were due. Have no issue with lockdown as Sydney is a case study in what can happen. I do however think government collectively has failed the people with vaccination rates and hotel quarantine. My luck has free tickets; food and drink in Virgin lounge. For those who have not been there it great. Totally different vibe to MCC and long room. The only positive is we can’t lose!

    Because state governments have NFI


    Better off going to Perth. Can they give us both 4 points? Theoretically they by virtue of the QLD govt they’ve forfeited?

    Why go to Perth??  Why not play Suns at Marvel tomorrow night. 

    Because they have to isolate for 7 days before playing WCE

    That would be too sensible.

    Surely we can isolate in Melbourne as part of the 7 days?

    • 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.
