Maybe it has been brought up elsewhere...

But what about the move by Richmond to get Graeme Polak onto the 'special case/Ramanaskas" list as the long term injured list was "a bit unfair" and there view seemed to be that they were helping out a basket case that may be viewed as community service.

He played and showed a bit apparently in a intra-club match just two months after they felt unjustly treated!

Devious pricks they are,with that certainly smell of K.Sheedys work.

    they are just trying to get what they can within the rules, the trick is to find the edge of those rules a push them a little further. IN that vein, the polak bid was worth a go , as they say if you don't ask you never know.

    Any Club would have done that with a player injured as polak is. I am More interested to see how long The Ben Cousins Hammies Last.If he has a Gun Season it will be another loss to us.

    It appears that the AFL will investigate the matter. Let's hope it's a thorough investigation and not an attempt to simply vinicate previous actions of any club or AFL officials.

    This is the old "we will look into it" bulldust.

    Wait for the season to start ... wait for or find a diversion. Then do nothing.

    The AFL have one set of rules for some clubs and another set of rules for others. Its all about the money.

    If you have the ability to put bums on seats its amazing what you will get away with.

    As I said before this is a rotten to the core club ... plus now I want to add desperate that will do anything for finals success.

    Have a look at the AFL fixture and tell me whether there's any integrity involved in this competition.

    How true.

    If he has a good season, so be it. It's irrelevant to "us" as far as I'm concerned.

    If he's having a gun season in 4-5 years time, well that is a different story.

    • 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.
