You're thinking Lincoln McCarthy with that one.

But yes, hoping there's some fire in the guts from last year's finals.

    I hope we just play them off the park. Couldn't really give a stuff about drama from last year.

    Anyone know if the boys are having a light run at Gosch’s tomorrow prior to flying up to Brisbane?

    Oh you’re right. They’re both chumps so they’re easily confused. 🤣

    Actually, I just remembered how Jarrod Berry was involved to an extent in this whole deplorable thing. Not worth talking about.

    Bought tickets through ticketmaster so now they have my email address I'm getting promotional material for Brisbane Lions WTF

    Would be surprised if May plays so soon, Salem will need a game in the VFL to get some touch. I have from time to time overactive Thyroid, takes quite a few weeks to normalise and running even 500m can cause exhaustion with elevated heart rate.

    Hope he has either done radioactive iodine, or cut it out, as a long term fix.

    I'm fine with this.

    There is honestly no rush in getting these guys back. Take all the time they need so that it sets them up well for the year.

    Just arrived in Brisbane. 
     

    80% humidity hit me as soon as we walked down the stairs off the Virgin flight 

    (ps. Virgin - wonderful!!? What a joke !!!! - delayed 40 minutes arrival ). 
     

    Dees will need good rotations through the midfield 

    Having a sub will help !

    Yep, me too 


    If it’s 31C, will there be extra breaks? What’s the AFL heat policy? I realise it’s a night game, but that’s a ridiculous temperature to be playing AFL football in

    According to BOM it'll be 25 degrees from about 7 pm onwards.  Don't know about humidity though!

    My phone weather predicts humidity between 70 to 80% from 8 to 11 p.m. ice vests and fans needed I suspect.

    Do the Richmond players still money grab these nights years after there flags???

    Dunno. But I must say 2021 was the subject of discourse for the majority of the night. 🏆❤️💙

    BTW, two thirds of the night was great. The other third, Clarrie spoke.  😁

    Seriously, I couldn’t understand a word he said apart from “hello” at the start.

    I live in Brisbane. It’s cooled down quite a bit after a heat wave. Last weekend was absolutely stinking hot, so looks like we will be fairly fortunate with the weather. It will be relatively temperate and the real hot edge to days and nights has eased this week.

    Have it on good authority that it has been an unhappy team at the Brisbane Lions over the offseason.  Not sure of the cause, or if it was a factor in them starting poorly v Port.  But just passing on what I’ve heard.

    So I assume May will be suiting up for Casey in that case?

    On Tuesday Goodwin doubled down from the post game presser saying all four players (May, Salem, Fritta, Viney) will be available for selection at either MFC or Casey.

    (on a serious note, if your mail is solid, then they obviously don’t want to risk May so early in the season.

     

    pressure is already on the Lions. could be 0-2. then play the dogs away and the Pies

    they will be fired up for friday! pity we might not have our brutes in viney may kozzi

    • 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.
