This week and next I'll be barracking for whatever combination of results see Carlton tipped out of the 8. 

They need to lose both games and Adelaide and GWS to win both games?

Goodnight and goodbye Cats.  I have long dreamt of your death, but I never imagined your demise would taste this delicious.  May you never win another game for as long as I live.

Is there a scenario Carlton can miss the 8?

Yes, they need to lose both games of course. Then 2 or 3 teams to win both remaining games.

I’m worried about how flat Carlton are. Last week was a very hard game. I hope we don’t come out this flat. 

It won't make a difference if Carlton lose. Although a win for Gawn would be good.

A young team travelling after being up for two months is different than us on our home ground with two running changes. Plus we're fitter.

Yes. 

They have to lose twice. Then requires some results to be precise because the chasing pack play each other a bit. Easiest option is for GWS to beat Essendon, St Kilda to win once, Dogs to win both games (ie beat Geelong next week), and then Sydney wins twice or wins once but makes up the percentage (about 5%).

True but that was North. Gold Coast is miles ahead and made Brisbane look second rate three weeks ago.

Carlton's grand final was last week.

Logically, yes. 

I’ll still wait a bit longer before I feel like they aren’t capable of pulling it back.

Adelaide can't overtake them ED14. All it might take is for St Kilda & Sydney to win one and GWS to win both, one of which is against Carlton. Then they could get tipped out on %.

Suns using the ball really well. working the ball into their f50 with ease

Looking to work it through the corridor by hand and foot wherever possible.

Contesting hard when they need to but also taking the gane on once they win the ball.

Great footy to watch

Choll, Whitts, Rowell, Miller & Flanders all very  good so far

Gold Coast is 90 levels above North. You literally cannot compare these two sides.

Soft frees galore for Carlton. Almost as if HQ gave the directive.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
