Fake news or about-face? Guess we’ll never know.

Yes you will, because Whateley was at the briefing.

Not everything is a conspiracy to make people hate footy.

    The first post on the issue was on Wednesday night. Why three days later a fake news call is being made?

    Surely Whateley (who is in the afl media) could have put an end to it sooner. Just another reason not to like him.

    Oh well, look on the bright side... at least it would be one new rule that we wouldn't have to adjust our game plan to...

    Maybe because the hysteria built up over that time?

    After listening to Whately ‘s absolute Puff Piece interview with Gillian last week, i regard him as nothing more than a light weight Jeelong megaphone ?

    Of course it’s not a conspiracy, it’s just gross incompetency.

    • 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.
