A two-horse race for the Brownlow? Very odd indeed

    I reckon pies are no certainty to even make the 8. How would of they gone this year with our 2022 fixture?  11- 11 

    Their army of supporters helps them over the finish line  but  they wont have the same staggering luck in 23. Theyll be taken more seriously too.

    Premiers?   lions dees cats blues maybe swans. Injuries will come into it as usual.

    I think Carlton will fill the Collingwood slot for 2023, they are due and if they start well the nomentum will carry them through.

    Too many good players to stay down

    Geelong put everything into 2022. Selwood gone and Hawkins another year older

    expecting them to be around 6th next year, especially with their tough draw

    I think Geelong will come off it a bit with the tougher draw, Collingwood will get a reality check that their do or die brand is just not sustainable and Sydney will struggle with expectation. 

    Brisbane are the ones for mine that present the most upside but it will depend on how their forward line functions now without McStay - Daniher a year older. Not sure Hipwood is a focal point. Feels a bit like MFC 2022ish. 

    Also cannot count out the Doggies, they have one of the best lists in the AFL with superstars all over the forward half of the ground.

    Injuries will come into the reckoning for our '23 season. That is what excites me about our accumulating depth, our mix of youth with some experience and varied talents, and our stable of hard-liners with credentials scattered across the field. We've got this one!

    Yep, they are the ones. Depends a lot on how Bevo measures up in 2023...

    The list is more balanced across the ground if they chose it to be that way.

    That first game is going to be a good one.

    Too many people think Collingwood will go further this year.

    False teeth ferals won a million games by a few pionts last year, VERY LUCKY. They wont have the same fortune this year.I expect them to finish lower than shark sheeit at the bottom of the Caymen trench this year.😡

    • 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.
