Calendar Curse

It is with great trepidation and possible regret that I raise this, but.......

Is there a Calendar Curse on our players!  😱

Like many here, I have a MFC calendar that I have displayed prominently, mainly to confirm in my own mind that I'm still in the land of the living.

Come January 1st, I opened the calendar to see Christian Salem.  Must have holidayed in Europe, I thought, as the snow that fell on his head had not yet melted. But worse was to come. That month it was disclosed his thyroid condition had flared and he would miss the start of the season. Bummer!

Move onto February (one month closer to the footy season 😃).  There's Bailey Fritsch. Our most reliable goalkicker. I feel a warm glow as I give him a knowing nod.  During the month it is revealed his foot has been stood on at training.  He will miss the start of the season! 

The shortest month finishes - hesitantly I turn the page.......LUKE JACKSON!!!!!!!

I want March to finish!  Finally, it does, but......April Fools day 😵   Flip.  Ben Brown.  That's OK I think. He's been resonably fit (for him) and in good form in training, nothing to worry about.  April 2nd vs Swans. Ben gets subbed out, sore back, misses next match - at least!

I now have a dilemma. Do I burn the calender now and literally don't know what day it is, confirming my wife's belief, or do I bravely sneak a look at next month......

PETRACCA!!!!!!  😩   

Burn baby, burn.......

    • 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.
