In a welcome development, the radar says no rain today and humidity at comfortable levels 

The radar is drunk. ☔️ 🌧 💦 

 

Hawks & Mitchell will wants an early scalp to keep the wolves at bay. They’ll be up for this game and we need to be too.

Hit them hard early, or their belief will grow. Belief and doubt are infectious amongst youth, so snuff out their belief and play hard and tough football to lessen their appetite.

    This is just the kind of game we are notorious for losing. 

    I'm nervous

    Looking at your Exorcist Avatar Hatchman makes me more nervous, one of the great movies of all time, particularly the green 🤮 Relax, mate we got this !!

    I would like to see us destroy Hawthorn today. They are a very average football team.

    Agree with you.

    Let's see if we have changed this season in the way we deal with teams when going in as the favoured, to win team.

    Ruthless has always been a catch cry we throw about. Today is the time for ruthlessness to be expressed and some classy footy played.

    Last thing I want to see is us being dragged down to a lesser level of play. If the Hawks play well, then our engine room has to purr/fire and we will be in for an entertaining game.

    Sparrow to bring 'it', Salem to set 'it' up, Fritsch to kick straight, and our top flight to maintain the tempo/momentum. 

    Go Dees!

    Amazing that they are offering replacement buses during Grand Prix weekend. Standard.


    I'm one of the ones who think that Petty is fine to have in but the chap i would like in   to really  mix up our forward line is Melksham.

    Well stating the bleedin obvious it wont be Clarry! 

    If its Hore, Brown, Windsor I'll be spewing 🤮

    I guess that leaves???? The Heartbreaker!

    I agree with you Picko but hope we are  both wrong


    Has anyone noticed that when you watch Foxtel footy in 4K, it’s a slightly better picture than HD, but the sound is out of sync with the picture?

    Defence need to pay the Hawks forwards one-on-one respect today imo.  Lewis, Nash, Breust and to extent Ginnivan are no slouches. Watson is an unknown but I haven't forgotten Rankine getting off the chain in his first game against us. Chol will prolly play a defensive role on Lever.

    Me too.

    Have known so many cocky Hawthorn supporters over my lifetime who just loved sticking the knives in when we were at our lowest.

    Every sweet win over Hawthorn makes those times disappear just a little more

    I'm going today. Gonna try and sneak into the Hawthorn reserved seat area on lev 2 Northern stand. I want to bait a few suffering wee and poos

    • 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.
