I'd like this scenario too actually. Rematches are always fun.

We had to do it in 1990 against Hawthorn. Won both games, but they were brutal and we had nothing else left in the tank.

    What would make me laugh is if carlton beat GWS tmmrw and then go on and lose the elim to the dogs.

    That's still one of my favourite finals wins. I was so scared that the mighty Hawks would roll us in the 2nd half but I was just a dumb little kid at the time.

    In other news sure to stir the pot I'm happy to see Tex Walker take the lead in the Coleman. Gives us something to watch if our game is a dead rubber.

    Gee, Tex is so good to watch when he's on. 

    9.4 tonight takes him to 76 goals for the season. Sam Taylor has a big job on Curnow tomorrow.

    Some good players exiting West Coast in Hurn, Shuey and Nic Nat. All great to watch over the journey.

    The game was on youtube a while ago

    It is played at Grand Final pressure

    Curnow has not been held goalless all season and last time Carlton played GWS in Sydney, Curnow kicked 2 so I would say the odds are in Charlie's favour for Coleman Medal No. 2. He needs 1 goal to draw level with Tex, 2 goals to win it outright.

    I hope he's kept goalless just quietly.

    Same. I like Tex and I’d love to see him take it out instead of Charlie.

    I could see it happen too. The Dogs have heaps of finals experience and are a different side in September. Carlton have started to dip and are finals virgins-so-to-speak.

    One of the only times you'll find me barracking for Footscray.

    It's been an awesome resurgence and I'll be happy to see him finally make the AA team. Was hard being a key forward in the time of Buddy, Hawkins, Jack R and Josh Kennedy but he's had s great career.

    Such a shame the Croms have been denied Finals, purely because of AFL Pig Headed incompetence 

    Adelaide would be far more entertaining than Footscray

    Brisbane faced a very determined St Kilda to day but the maggots ensured the Saints didn't really have any chance.

    In so doing Brisbane, i think, have two consecutive home games.

    I despise them 

    Likewise. The umpires’ darlings from 2016-2022. Had almost 50 more free kicks to their opposition in the 2016 finals series, the Grand Final itself being the tip of the iceberg, especially in the last half when the game was on the line. The one Premiership I genuinely look back at and think, that wasn’t just.

    I would love the Dees to have such a goalkicking key forward. 

    Tex was very getable too at the end of 2022. No club wanted to touch him though for PR reasons after that incident which saw him banished and publicly shamed. We should have offered him a contract, he would have come knowing it was a more likely route to success in the final stages of his career.

    It was cheating

    That wouldn’t happen.

    The Dogs struggled to beat Geelong’s VFL side last night.

    It was probably only match fitness of Cat’s younger guys in the last quarter that gave Dogs the win.

    They look an unhappy team.

    Saints supporters would be barracking for us today.

    If we win, they’ll get a home final in Melbourne.

    If we lose, not only do they have to go to Sydney in week 1 (unless GWS win by 11 goals) they’ll also have to travel to the loser of Port or Brisbane in week 2.

    How much would Port have to win by to take 2nd off Brisbane?

    250 points me thinks.

    • 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?

      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.
