25 free kicks to North Melbourne at half time. 

We've only had more free kicks for an entire game once in 2016.

    Likewise had a gutful of them and especially the media like Bruce pumping up gee I can only wish our side begins to push them around and inflict pain on them

    I've tipped Hawthorn, so that's the only reason I'll go for them. Hate both these teams though. And score that my hotel room has FOX FOOTY, as there's no coverage on Channel 7 up in Sydney. Hopeless.

    Hawthorn has pulled this game well and truly out of their ring and if I hated Lewis before, I loathe that sniper now

    North have kicked themselves out of this.

    Hawks get away with so many delaying tactics when they should have 50's paid against them.

    ...plus the times they crib the mark a few metres and then Wood takes a mark in the pocket and Hill goes up and stands right on him, the umpire calls him back...4 umpires what the hell are they doing???

    How many throws tonight going unnoticed??? 4 umpires, I don't know...

    I find it amusing Daw isn't afforded the truck load of excuses that our players have been over the years. 

    He's played what, 25 games??

    Keep digging, mate.  You were wrong even before his game tonight.  He's a nothing player.

    You told me Grimes was a lock for round 1.

    So?  Bringing up Grimes and Dawes is totally irrelevant here.  We're talking Daw and, like my call there with Grimes, you're wrong.

    He could say that, same as I said Scully will end up staying. Doesn't mean a lick of difference that Daw isn't rubbish

    Sicily has well and truely moved into the fwit, diver team.

    It stinks how players now instinctively lift their arms to force their opponent to tackle them high.  I hope that they stamp that out of the game sooner rather than later.

    Bringing up Dawes and Grimes isn't irrelevant at all, many on here think they offer little to nothing just like some think the same of Daw. Only difference is Dawes and Grimes have had plenty of chances.

    Chances have nothing to do with it.  The bloke is a spud, chances or not.

    Do the umpires read the media and issues with ducking? That is two Sicily rubbish frees for ducking and two goals, can not believe it after all we have seen in recent weeks. You just know North can't win this one, they lost it in the first quarter.

    Listen to Watson and Bruce talk up Majak Daw! Hilarious, the bloke can't take a mark!

    You can't deny he hasn't shown some good signs over the 20-25 games he's played, consistency is obviously a problem for him right now. Tonight he's done close to stuff all but so has Dal Santo.

    If North lose they will be 5th,  How hilarious is that  

    Or 4th if Dees beat Swans.  Which we will.

    • 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.
