Being managed apparently, rather than injury. 

Isn't that against the "emergency rules"

Tis a glorious day.

I was on a bikeride this morning and rode to and from (and around) the 'G.

I was telling my bike buddy (an American) that even after all these years (I'm freakin old) I still feel the buzz of the 'G on match day ... sigh ....

Yep

That siren gets you going followed by the roar of the crowd.

    Currently watching the 2002 replay match Semi Final against the Crows.

    Its half way through the first quarter and some Crow player called Simon Goodwin has kicked 2 goals and has about 7 touches.

    This was the game I thought Travis Johnstone would become a genuine star of the competition. 

    We were completely shot at the 3/4 time break.  Travis had the ball on a string, but was out on his feet.  All we had to do was hang on, and Daniher left Darren Jolly on the bench for the final quarter.  We just needed a big body at CHB to stop the marks the Crows were taking there.

    It can go down as 'hamstring awareness' or some other vague 'injury'.

    With Walker out it makes sense for May to be out and with O'Brien out we are more than well covered for talls.

    I like that if players have a niggle they get a rest esp with no bye likely.

    With the likelihood of no pre finals bye, they must rest a critical player this week. I suggested it should be Salem with his sore groin, perhaps May is more pressing. 
    Also, very happy for another player to get an AFL game before Finals in case he’s required.

    If past games against lower sides (including Adelaide) are anything to go by, this will be a closer contest than some may think. That, of course,  means irrational game day posts suggesting the sky is falling in from the 1 minute mark of the first.

    ah.. the old "general soreness" injury

    TBH we should be fined or at least get a "please explain"

    Calling it early: "We haven't shown up!!"

    Interested to see how Joel Smith goes in May's absence, and of course desperately hoping May is right for the Geelong game and everything that comes afterwards.

    Readjustment my predictions now. Crows to kick 7 goals 😱

    Kieran Strachan vs Max Gawn.

    25 year old playing their second game in their third year on the Crows rookie list.

    Tough gig but we've seen a number of times already how fringe rucks have come in and competed hard and well against Gawn. I would imagine there's a certain liberation to knowing that there's no contest for 'total quality and ability' and your only option is to do the team things and focus on having a crack.

    Could be interesting.

    • 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.
