Is it just me or do Sydney get away with suspensions nearly all the time. How the hell did Grundy get off with just a fine i can't believe they claimed that didn't hit him in the head that they claim it was to the body if it was to the body why was he charged at all. The AFL come out last week& said they will tolerate any more punching anymore & in the first week they have a chance to make a statement they wimp out again. Buy the way the AFL are stupid 2 years ago when they first brought out the fine system for charges Mark Evans came out & publically announced that you could have 2 fines before you are suspended why would you do that the players aren't stupid all you are telling them is that they have 2 free hits before they are suspended for low grade charges. The fine system was not designed for deliberate acts it was brought in because of careless suspensions that like Steve Johnson was getting.

    That was no different to the Salem hit. Maybe even more force by Grundy because he was moving and balanced.

    Mrp is a joke. It has less credibility than a John Farnham farewell tour.

    I disagree somewhat.  Whilst we have been savaged by the MRP I have watched this over and over and I cant see the contact to the head.  I'm far more annoyed at things like Selwood ducking (he's now the most free kicked player in VFL/AFL history) I know its not MRP related but I think game day decisions affecting the outcome of games are far more relevant

    • 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.
