Interesting Hunt comes in. We have 8 defenders, unless Gus or Riv move in to the midfield rotation

    Brayshaw getting those midfield minutes he has wanted... ;-)

    I suppose take it with a grain of salt, but Salem named on the half forward flank is interesting. A good team selected for a day of 10-20mm rain earlier in the day. You'd think Chandler would get the sub.

    Hoping Chandler gets the Med Sub position, just hope we don't get to use him

    Maybe we could do a phantom Bulldog injury and get Chandler on in the 4th Quarter

    Goody tends to not bother too much with positions on the team announcement, so wouldn't think it would happen.

    Explains a few of Harmes' decisions last week

    Does this mean we finally see Gus back in the guts :O

    Hopefully Weed can play 4 quarters this time, really needs to play a big one without a 2nd big forward.

    Yes Gus either on the wing or include in the midfield/Centre rotations

    Yeah, he had rigor mortis on Jamarra in the last quarter.

    Well, Petty did actually.

    JVR an emergency. Getting closer now.

    Chandler could well be the sub, which I don't think is a very good option. A small forward offers very little if a tall, defender or mid go down. Given we already have Spargo, ANB, Pickett and Melksham in the starting 22, unless he's subbed on for one of them we just get so out of what. At the very least, Dunstan as a midfielder can slot into the middle and push, say, Petracca forward (if the injured player is a forward) or Brayshaw/Hunt back (assuming one of them is playing midfield).

    Harmes’ concussion was broken by Demonland was it not? This place is the sauce.

    Iirc @Lord Nev shared the info. 👍🏽

    I wouldn't be surprised if Chandler comes in for JJ.

    8 defenders is interesting.  Gus unlikely to move off HB

    Is Hunt a chance a play fwd? or even Petty?  Taberner and Lobb could be handled with Petty maybe

    As an aside, this is Fremantle's first home game against us since 2015.

    Which is utterly ridiculous.

    I wonder whether there is any other match up in the competition where a side hasn't had a home game against another side in 7 years.

    Surprised Banfield was dropped by Freo. Always seems to bob up and kick important goals.

    • 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.
