    1 thing at a time it will hep in the long run just have to be on the ball about it and the pratts will not be doing so well and in the future the next judd might come to mfc not because of those $ that the underbelly's are offering outside of the salary oh sorry carlsalary cap.

    Unfortunatley its not that easy. Visy supply 55% of all packaged goods in Australia, that includes cardboard, plastics and paper.

    Heres a link to Visy's website which has a picture of just some of the things Visy produce.

    For anyone who doesn't know or understand about the whole Richard Pratt/Visy thing, here are a couple of links to articles you should read.

    As a very brief summary, Visy and the other rival packageing company made an agreement to up the prices of there products.

    As there is no other big company who does packaging, product produces small and large were forced to pay jacked up prices on all their packaging.

    This resulted in the produces having to up their prices to the public. Costing you and me, the everyday Australian more money for your milk/coke/just about anything. This made Visy an estimated $700 million.

    How the person in question escaped hard time is beyond me. If I was to defraud a bank of 700mil I'm sure it would be a case of don't forget your tooth brush. 2 sets of rules. Same seems to be true at AFL house.

    • 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.
