Can't deny there are plenty of rumours flying around now about Buddy.

Dunno about anyone else but he just stuffed my Dreamteam semifinal to boot!

    Sorry I must have missed all this. What's the insinuation about Buddy, RR?

    This doesn't look good maybe they have put buddy on ice till finals or buddy took it upon himself to do it

    Seems almost as tho he has lost his license to play drive, to get to the line?

    Stuffed my super coach team.

    Maybe the rumours have merit. If he mysteriously doesn't reappear then I will keeping my ears to the ground.

    In all seriousness if there has been 3 strikes shouldn't it be an immediate suspension? Would for arguments sake Matthew Bate (Sorry Bater) get the same treatment with 3 strikes as one of the games superstars? Or am I in dreamland where everyone is equal.

    I know it is speculative, but hell if the rumours turn out to be true then the AFL has a big problem by not coming out and saying what is what!!

    Bringing the game into disrepute if they just leave it under the covers.

    Dear Buddy ,

    Please remember when you were a child and the mighty Demons were your heros.

    Whatever you have done wrong- we forgive you.

    Come home son.

    We still love you.

    If nothing else it's a superb rumour to wind up my Hawk mate with. He obliges by biting every time.

    Had bench cover for him in Dream Team. Already through to the Prelim in all my Supercoach leagues so the donut there doesn't matter much.

    If true he'll be back soon.. They wouldn't want to interfere too heavily with the finals campaign.

    Like the cogs in your gearbox, they're all working but you cant see them.

    I originally heard this rumour about 2 years ago, it's now just going round and round in circles again. I reckon it is rubbish and I'm one who loves a good conspiracy theory.

    Would be the biggest non-football story in AFL hsitory if true. Bigger than Cousins. Truly a nightmare for the AFL.

    We are talking about him plagiarising Guns 'n' Roses lyrics on his fashion label t-shirts aren't we?

    Stealing from Axl Rose.. that is just plain wrong. He'll go Eddie McG on his ass.

    'Designing' a line of t-shirts - nothing screams "I've got nothing to do in my spare time" more than this.

    HYPOTHETICAL:

    Choice 1: Confront a huge problem with a high profile player in a successful club,

    or

    Choice 2: Drip feed the media fuel for a fire involving a struggling club to generate massive diversionary coverage.

    Which is easier?

    Which is right?

    Am I paranoid?

    Am I right?

    No but he should be sent to Abu Ghraib for that atrocity.

    • 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.
