With inclement weather it could be a night out for our smalls in who are all in good touch.

Always had a soft spot for the Tigers. That is of course until they started dominating.  Same with Footscray.  Always liked an underdog. It's sad success brings out my contempt for clubs but that's footy.

Whoops didn't mean to quote myself.  But since Im here, why cant I give my post a like?

    My weather forecast Ap is saying 70% chance of rain today and 80% tomorrow.

    Any concerns?

    Depends where your app suggests it's going to rain. I'm in Melbourne and I've just washed my hair. So maybe.....

    I like how you're able to see that hate is unhealthy.  Many people are unable to get that stage.

    Hate is such a strong word …….
    It was obligatory to hate Pies as a Melbourne supporter in years gone, the two just went together and that DNA never goes away.

    Hate Blues because they are Carlton.

    Hate Dons since 2000 and their no responsibility drug saga enhanced it.

    Hate Cats because of the unfair advantage they get.

    The hate is unhealthy but the schadenfreude of watching those  teams lose was the only salve during the Dee Dark Days.

     

     

    Excellent hate summation.

    Boomers and their obsession with syntax, grammar, accuracy and factual information!

    And we're all the better for it. Mind you, I've just started a sentence with a conjunction which is another no-no, so there is still room for improvement.

    You've probably now informed younger readers what at least one conjunction is.   But I doubt they'll remember.

    But LDC ....... it's just a convention..... so don't worry over it!

    And, don't let the grammar nazis tell you any different!

    3- Assume Draper and Phillips to physically go at Grundy to wear him down.  Tmcd could be used to support. This could be a weakness as exposed by the Lions.  

    Why would we revert back to this when JVR who has performed the role since coming in is also playing

    Pregame pregame question. 

    Will Max play against tigers?

    Would you risk him when the Tigers have no ruckman? 
    We then play North off a very short break and then Gold Coast. 
    Doubt we will see him before North game. Could be as late as Hawks game. You don’t risk your most important players.

    I guess we don't need him against norf and Gws anyway.

    I disagree hate can be healthy eg I hate murderers, pedos etc - probably even more than I hate Essendon 🤣

    I don't think it's a concern given we can activate the sub at any time

    • 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.
