There was an incident, in the 4th quarter i believe, where he ran right through a player who was going to ground. I'm a big fan of his, but i won't be surprised if he gets a week or two for it. (Especially given the match review panels record)

What does everyone else think?

    I didn't see it so I can't say. It'd be a shame if he got suspended; he's coming into some good form.

    That's funny, I didn't think any Eagles except Wilkes, got close enough to a Demon to be involved in a tackle.

    Very sharp observation Redleg. :lol:

    I think Beau Wilkes should be reported for head-butting Jamar in the bread basket :lol:

    We had more tackles at half time (37) than WCE had for the entire game (35). Says it all really.

    Yep. Too agile and quick for the Weagles.

    Nonsense. They weren't trying.

    Is that the one on Priddis?

    If so, yes, I agree that Wheels could be in trouble.

    It wasn't Priddis, it was Nicoski if we're thinking of the same one. And he's got nothing to worry about.

    Nicoski had the ball and Whelan decided to bump instead of tackling and knocked the stuffing out of him on the Southern stand side wing. There was no free kick, the ball spilled out and Whelan won possession. Nicoski spent a few minutes on the deck, trainers came over to him, then i think the quarter finished.

    I thought it was fantastic, it was legal and a good hard bump. Nothing wrong with making a player feel it as long as it's within the rules.

    Match Review Panel has already sat and he hasn't been sighted.

    The one I was referring to was when Priddis got a head-high bump on the left 50 flank in front of the Olympic Stand. Priddis hand-balled it to Lynch, who then stuffed it up.

    I'm 99% sure that's the one i'm thinking of. It didn't look massively malicious but given their history on head-high contact i wouldn't be surprised to see him go for it and if it's the difference between 1 week or a reprimand, i's say we take the week rather than have the points hanging over his head.

    Nothing was mentioned on Ch.10 sports report.

    And you'd be happy to know Jamar does not have a case to answer for standing still while a player head- butted his stomach :rolleyes:

  • Quote

    Wouldn't have been surprised if Maric got 3 weeks for "pushing" him into Jamar, like what happened with that Carlton bloke

  • Quote

    If there was one bloke from our team you could guarantee landing a heavy yet legal hit it'd be the Wrecker.

    (I'm sure James Hird would agree).

    On form and commitment atm, let him mentor the emerging backline in the finer arts of defensive play for as long as he's got the motor.

    Hard at it back-men kill opposition goals.

    • 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.
