    Grog, ciggies and the punt. 
     

    What other vices are there to help this competition function?

    Tongue in cheek question.

    Wouldn’t be happy one with the club being associated with a criminal organisation. 

    We could launder the players jumpers through them. Oh, ok... wrong laundry. Sorry.

    Crown is the font of evil in Melbourne, dirty dirty organization with loads of sleaze and abuse hidden by a slick facade. Did I tell you I didn’t like Crown? If all you saw were the functions and advertising you could be fooled into thinking it’s benign but truly it’s not. Gambling should be tolerated not encouraged, much like sex work, and other activities that chip away at human dignity.

    Do they still bombard you with a million betting app ads during breaks at the footy?

    Yep. The money is too lucrative for AFL and the TV networks, any chance of that changing under Gil’s watch went down the toilet with the covid losses at the afl. 

    Might change with a new CEO although the betting companies will always be looked after to some extent because it helps the afl stay on top of match/outcome fixing

    Yeah it’s real, was introduced a while ago now and a joke it was approved. It’s a variation of the game called ‘Blackjack Plus’ mainly found on the lower limit tables.

    The silly part is people actually played this variation. When I last visited, standard Blackjack was still around but on $50 -$100 minimum tables. 
    The below is from a google search this morning.

    Anti-gambling crusader Tim Costello said if Crown was allowed to get 22 playing blackjack then ''Essendon should be allowed to have 19 players on the field''.

    That wouldn't make much difference.

    Not even Crown can sportswash their brand. Tarnished beyond repair. Zero chance we take their filthy lucre.

    Hawthorn would take the cash. And tell you they are the family club!

    I would have liked the club to respond with a very quick and firm no thanks!

    Hopefully, this is not far away.

    If Crown do sponsor the Demons, it would literally be a case of selling your soul to the devil. 😈

    I'd be very surprised if any club took up this offer.

    Crown has been exposed for its shonky practices. Associating your name with them would certainly tarnish the family and inclusive image footy is trying to promote and, further, possibly risk other sponsorships.

    gambling turnover is down by a 1/3 from stly so it doesn't surprise me that companies are trying to find new ways to get their product in front of new potential customers

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
