Sorry its late Demonlanders but had a few things on so I'll get straight to the main points 

  • If Clarry plays on Sunday it will be the greatest feat since that bloke from Galilee allegedly walked on water a couple of thousand years ago. He performed a fitness test of sorts but clearly did not want to use his injured hand.
  • Harrison Petty and Bailey Laurie were NO SHOWS at training 
  • I think Daniel Turner came of second best in a match sim and took no further part in training, I say  think coz I was a bit far away. If it was him then another piece of bad luck.
  • T Mac was in rehab and did a few light drills and could return within expected time frames
  • Joel Smith Likewise was involved in some match sims and then completed run throughs. He did have a slight limp though
  • If Petty misses Tomlinson looks likely
  • Hard to get a line of who of Weeds, Mitch Brown gets the call up. I don't think Van Rooyen is in the frame. Weeds was bustled out of a few contests, but Mitch Brown kicked a couple with some clever play. I reckon Max will play quite a bit up forward
  • Dunstan WAS part of main Mids group
  • Chandler slipped a few times coughing ball up to his eternal frustration
  • Best  trainers were Jack Viney, Trac, Dogga, Langers AND Nibbler. Spirited session for the most part and selection will be interesting
  • One other thing. Reporters were teaming in the ground today but do you reckon the Fence was any chance to get in. Nar no way known!
  • GO DEES  Best to all P.F

    FMD now Petty!😱  And 🪩 again?  Can’t take a trick  

    Clearly the curse was only temporarily exorcised last September, and a full exorcism at the G is needed this September.  Nothing less will do.

    Very Surprised that Melksham and Chandler were included! Also surprised Bedford and Spargo hold their places but no, HUNT!!

    Weideman this surely would be "Last Chance Hotel" would much have prefered Mitch Brown!

    The photos of the training  show them all in heavy tops.  They will not need it Up in NT

    i thought the Weid looked trim and with a correct ball drop, though I don’t know why the other hand was up in the air. Perhaps to cheer the goal. Bring your best on Sunday please,

    Very nice work (again) PF thanks mate.

    Surely there's someone on here who has a background in forging fake press passes.  Get on it D'landers!

    Yes, but as Jeremiah the Bullfrog always said,  One is the loneliest number.

    Weather Bureau forecast for Alice Springs on Sunday is a minimum overnight of zero followed by a sunny day with a maximum of 24 degrees. Should be a stunning day.

    • 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.
