    I’m currently missing Essendon getting humped to come in tonight. It better be worth it.

    We moved from Hawthorn (near Auburn station) a few years ago to live in the country. It was time. We loved Melbourne for many years, and while we visit for all the great things, that’s the one regular thing I miss - having a few cold ones and jumping on the train and going to an almost empty MCG to watch a game. (Half joking with the last bit.)

    Preparation… ?!?!?!!!?!

    Simon Goodwin will coach the Dees versus the GWS Giants on Saturday night despite spending the past three nights in hospital.

    Goodwin copped an infection at the start of the week that required an intermittent IV drip.

    He was part of team meetings via Zoom during the week and discharged on Saturday morning.

    I've changed my mind, I'm coming now.. atrocious weather and replacement buses can't keep me down

    Love it.

    Who's to say you won't be the difference between a win and a loss?

    Looking at the radar I'm predicting no rain in the first half.

    And some passing showers and possile hail in the second half. 

    The planets are aligning fellow Dlanders.

    Essendon to take their rightful spot outside the 8 and us to move in.

    For good and Goody.

    Blimey.

    Whatever anyone might think about how we're travelling, it can't be argued we have had some appallingly bad luck this season.

    You could imagine it, but if you are imagining the USA you'd be wrong. Because "free speech" means that the government can't police your political views. It doesn't stop a private company (your employer) from limiting your speech.

    And fwiw he isnt compelled to sign up. As an athlete he could have chosen a range of sports to pursue, and he could choose to be paid to play in other leagues.

    And to make it worse, we aren't even talking about the AFL restricting general speech. The critiscm he made were directly of his employer. If you worked at Coles and went on a podcast and gave Coles a spray and your manager a spray and they heard it you'd get fired too.

    I typed a longish response to this but decided to not post it because it is off topic. Just to say at the very least the AFLPA should work to remove obnoxious clauses in contracts  that allow the AFL to muzzle players.  A player strike would put a rocket up the AFL's rear.

    For anyone complaining about the cold a young Indian lad who has only been in the country for a month just boarded my train wearing flip flops / thongs on his bare feet.  

    I was watching the Olympic Games opening ceremony and saw a local bloke wearing the same footwear.

    Believe it or not, his name is Phillipe Philoppe.

    • 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.
