For years, especially when we were performing poorly, the AFL would schedule us at 1pm on Mother's Day at the MCG while we'd be mocked for getting a crowd of only 15,000.

Well, strike me dead. I just looked at next week's schedule and lo and behold ....

1pm Collingwood vs West Coast (which will be 11am in Perth)
Furthermore, it's to be played at Docklands. Yes, Collingwood will play a home game at Docklands.

I'm flabbergasted that the AFL have done something so good with their fixturing. So kudos to the AFL.

    Most Pies fans don’t know who their mother is, so it’s fine.

    Father's Day must be so confusing for them too

    I met this woman a few years ago who told me how she had six children under 10 years of age.

    All the kids, both boys and girls, were called 'Daicos' because she was such a massive Collingwood fan.


    "Fair enough" I said "but how do address your kids given they all have the same name?"


    "No problem" she told me."I just call them by their surnames"

    Edit. Interesting that on my device 'Col' was initially spell checked into Collingwood !

    On mine it corrects to "colon". So, basically the same thing.

    • 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.
