Beautiful sunny day and a vibe to match it.

Maggs (Mahoney) is jogging around the boundary. Gabs is also rehabbing and is confident she’ll be right before the season starts. Ryleigh is also progressing well.

    Macca is doing sprints. The other girls are amazing with their encouragement. She’s not participating in the main group because they don’t want her using her hand while it’s healing. Kev is right about the change in her body. She isn’t as slight as she was, she’s filled out, especially around the hips and thighs. Good luck bringing her down in a tackle, oppo!

    Macca has a hand issue?

    Hoping to get along to training next Wednesday. Might need to lay down the law about minimising injuries as we don't want a repeat of last year. laugh

    Yeah, I don’t know the nature of the hand issue but a couple of the players told me she’s been told not to participate in anything that involves using her hand. Neither hand was strapped or otherwise showing any discomfort etc. so maybe they’re just being super cautious this far out from the season proper.

    • 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.
