Meanwhile - on the Essendrugs thread over at Big Footy . . .Well, at least we made Carlton supporters feel a bit better tonight.

Horethorn have just beaten Essendrugs with fewer inside 50s. It would be interesting to get the trend over the last 2-3 season - agreed.

Completely agree with your point Binman. But the data is the data. Unless a team can slingshot with precision off half back on a regular basis, ones chances of grabbing a flag are significantly reduced.

how do we fit all these champions into the salary cap?

@M_9 - please do not share facts from someone who knows his facts on Demonland.

And as if the news couldn't get any better for us, remember this: In 2024, Carlton traded its 2025 Round 1 selection and 2025 Round 2 selection to Hawthorn for its 2024 Round 1 selection in the 2024 and 2025 AFL Drafts respectively.

meanwhile . . . over at big footy: In the last 15 years, we've spent seasons at the bottom of the ladder with Richmond, Brisbane, and Melbourne, trading wooden spoons with them. Since then, Brisbane have a flag, Melbourne have a flag, and Richmond have three. Now Richmond are rebuilding again and may well beat us to the next flag. We've become a St Kilda-level basket case. Last 2 premiership season games the CFC have dished up the embarrassing 60-0 v Brisbane just before half time EF. And now conceding 12 of the last 14 goals to the wooden spooners .

best comment over there so far . . . As flaccid a performance as Luke Sayers' photo

Looks like i picked a good day to forget about putting $100 on Blues to win by 60+. And now there will be the inevitable questions . . . are they already tanking?

Some amazing posts in this thread.

Mate, I think you've just unlocked a new tier of existential footy crisis here. I mean, forget the heat death of the universe—the real question is how does Jack Billings keep getting games? And, how can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down? How can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go 'round? How can you mend this broken man? How can a loser ever win? Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

If I had been 6'6 with athletic ability and half a cup of courage, I would have played CHF for Croydon.

this has been a dud fixture since its inception.

Love him.

I appreciate things would have to get really disparate, but here's an ol' mate with, clearly, time on his hands that could do some heavy IT lifting.

I understand James and Joel are available to assist with the Demonland software upgrade these days.

Thanks for all your efforts @Demonland and @Nasher. I've been where you've just been and you have my respect and loads of goodwill flowing your way.

Was it the Pork Barrel Park game?

There's a chance you might find that he's quite a nice fellow.

As @Demonland Andy and @Nasher embark on the Demonland site software upgrade tonight, it’s essential to wrap our arms around around them and embrace the challenge they have ahead. While they may encounter some bumps along the way, these will be valuable learnings that will contribute to our continuous enjoyment of 'Land. By trusting the process and staying united, Andy and Nasher can ensure a successful transition that enhances the experience for our community, country and the whole planet. Stay strong everyone, hug your family and friends and tell them how much you love 'em. Godspeed everyone, and I hope to see you on the other side. God bless us all.

Anyone else having preemptive withdrawal symptoms already?

Ghostie @Ghostwriter revealed a highly classified state secret to me once. "We plan to kick more goals than behinds" was the whisper. Two years on, I wish someone had told the players.

There once was a club dressed in blue, Whose cap tricks were sneaky, it’s true. With numbers they played, Big contracts delayed, Till the AFL said, “We see you!” 😆

I've been thinking about this very carefully @picket fence. This will be Wadey's break out year.
