Oh FFS, a bye!  A few of our Casey players must be thrilled (not) to sit out a weekend rather than push their cases for selection. JVR, Laurie, Chandler, etc. Hopeless fixturing.

    Yep, just scrap it, form new vfl with the victorian afl clubs and include the likes of Williamstown, Port Melbourne and perhaps Werribee then just leave it alone.

    Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Casey also has a bye on the weekend of 6/7 August.

    Then Carlton and Brisbane, I assume in Brisbane. Then finals.

    3 Victorian sides have a bye. Why? When can we finally admit this competition hasn’t worked for 10 years and pack it in?

    It's atrocious, especially from a skill level, the VFL has NEVER been as low skill, as it is this year.

    Agree... packs on packs

    Reduce players on field to 16 for the second half to increase skills. First half they can have 18 to emulate AFL if they have to

    The VFL bye may have been co-ordinated with our Alice Springs game so the whole squad can travel there for community involvement.

    And these atrocious byes is something that we may have to look forward to if Gillon gets his 19th team,  in Tasmania.

    We'll need two byes for every team unless we reduce the season to 18 games

    No thanks

    In the VFL the byes are a function of trying to reduce costs

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
