Every forecast I’ve looked at says rain will be in the morning. 
Also it’s Melbourne. Chances of this forecast being correct 6 days out is 0%. 

You may be able to trust the forecast on Thursday morning, and that's still a 50-50 proposition.

    The app I use has five different forecast models that all show it’s going to rain at some stage during the day / early evening.

    The one that tends to be more accurate indicates right now that there will be rain from 2pm to 6pm….. at this stage. 

    I find that I have been stressing about the weather forecasts more than anything else at the moment, and there are still five sleeps to go!

    Finals are all about execution on the day. I am grateful for the opportunity the club is giving me to make myself sick with anxiety and trepidation.

    But I can live with being beaten by a team that can execute better on the day - but after last year - we are due to be on the winning side of that ‘execution battle’…

    We look fit, our best players are at least fit with only two adjusting to long breaks out injured, and we are in form with what we are good at - contest and defence.

    Can somebody rip the Yank's goggles off?

    Put their knees into him like he did to Max QB2022? I despise him, he's a bog ordinary bully.

    Cox like playing against us, and doesn't have the worst record. I could see him troubling us in the air. Pre Steven May, he certainly did. I hope they don't play him. I think they will though.

    This is a major concern. Dees have pretty much lost every game this season when raining. Our back line pillars go to mush. I’m hoping that the meteorologists are off considering it’s still another few days away

    Aside from Nick Daicos probably missing, Pies are at full strength.

    My left leg has been playing up so all signs point to a dry spell.

    Well now it says rain up to 4mm and to finish by 4pm 🤷‍♀️

    I wouldn’t think about the weather until hours before the game as it’ll change 12 times until then

    I wasn't really devastated missing out last year like I should have been. I think I was still high after the flag.

    Agreed. Too far out for an accurate determination.

    Johnson hurt himself yesterday in the VFL. He is a depth player for them. Wasn’t playing very well, I thought.

    Didnt he damage us one particular game? I might be wrong but the name rings a bell.

    I would think they'd name teams for our game on Wednesday and the other teams on Thursday.

    Every time I look, the weather forecast for Thursday gets crappier and crappier.  Not good.

    This post may be written in jest, but I really don't like it. Cox wears his glasses to stop him from going blind from another eye injury. It's OK not to like him, but let's not wish him a serious, life-changing injury.

    I wouldn’t have thought anyone who played yesterday would be in consideration for Thursday, just an opinion

    Spargo is firming as a possible selection in place of TMac in my opinion. (assuming wet/greasy conditions) Looking windy as well. Not great for our high forward bombs

    Pity that Schache hasn't come on.

    • 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.
