Hibberd potentially missing or underdone is a worry, as he's the perfect matchup for Papley. We'll win the midfield battle and our tall defenders should stop their tall forwards, Papley and Heeney are the dangers and potential match winners for them.

That said, I believe we'll win tonight in a tight game. Excited to see Gawn, Petracca and Oliver step up for another finals series. We're watching a truly special group of players at the moment!

    Where from? Reliable source or twitter fodder?

    One of the most moving clips you would ever see - and he's real! Hallowed performances. If he brings that kind of workmanship to the game tonight, look out Swans! As good as Robbi's contributions.

    Hibbo will front - can you imagine how he will feel if he misses and opportunity to smash Papley?

    This would explain why Callum Sinclair and Hayden McLean are named emergencies. 

    The thought of going into the game with 1 ruckman would certainly concern them.

    Missing would be a problem, but missing what was essentially, by all reports, a fairly light training session, is hardly going to see a fully developed veteran player underdone. A 24hr gastro bug is not going to drain him to any great extent.

    If both teams play at their very very best Melbourne win. I believe we are primed to do just that today. 

    Spot on Mr Steve. Said before the last game our best is better than all other sides . Was at the Gabba and if we play like that we will win convincingly.

    24hr gastro bug is certainly not ideal preparation.

    Excited by the prospect of having a coffee with @Bitter but optimistic

    “Excited” is not really the word I’d choose to use at said prospect. There’s no shortage of words I would use, but yeah nah, “excited” isn’t one of them.

    I'm a humble man JCB!

    I don't want to appear pretentious to those less cashed up than my good self.

    ( BTW the dog ute is a 2022 model)

    • 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.
