The oddest looking trophy is possibly the Baseball World Series one.

Probably because the World Series is the oddest "world championship" going around. "THEEE ATLANTA BRAAAVES .... WOOOOORRRRLD CHAAAMMMMPIONS!!!! OUT OF ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT AREN'T THE USA OR CANADA!!!!!!!"

    Well, there is a bit of truth to the naming of the trophy as the league is out there on its own as easily the biggest in the world

    Plus, all the best players in the world play in the MLB

    Of course, the yanks don't mind a bit of self congratulations but again,  it would be hard to see any team outside of the USA beating the World Series winners

    I'm well used to it so that sort of bragging doesn't bother me at all

    Also, it would be hard to argue that any team outside of Australia would stand a chance against the Melbourne Demons

    So, in effect, we are the World Champions (unless the NZ Nobodies somehow beat us!)

    The AFLX trophy is beyond compare

    Do you think that was the turning point for the 2021 Dees like the 1987 night GF win?

    • 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.
