Funny that this would get another run just before Gold Coast get a priority pick. Can't wait to be lectured about how it's karma for something that we did 10 years ago, when nobody but Nathan Jones and the bootstudder are left.

Also, this line is a flat out fabrication based on the transcripts the Herald Sun posted earlier in the year. Nowhere in the two transcripts they put up does he say this:

The Hun doing something unethical? Perish the thought!

I remember 16 years ago being pulled out of a train wreck outside Ballan (one that was said to have looked like another Granville and that was deemed miraculous in that no one was killed). Complete with an arm that turned purple from the bruising from the injury I had just copped, the first thing I was greeted with after emerging from the overturned carriage was a Herald Sun reporter sticking a mike in my face. 

Charming people.

    Always amazed me that Richmond never got done. They were far more blatant at Tanking. Wallace admitted it in interviews. 

    Said he did nothing in the coaches box at times, so that they would lose, in order to get Cotchin

    Wilson never said a word though in the Aged...

    Carlton? It was the worst kept secret they tanked for 3 years, everyone knew it and noone cared. Collingwood, Hawthorn, West Coast etc etc

    Agree Dr. But Wallace as Coach, actually said it, and as you say. Noone cared...

    Yeah so did Libba Snr when he was an assistant at Carlton, used the words 'we were trying not to win'. No action taken on them either.

    Yep I remember it all

    Wallace was the Senior Coach and NOTHING happened

    Bailey was treated like a Convicted man

    From memory we had a media deal with the HUN until the early/mid 2000s then switched to the big paper, and had Martin Blake embedded in the club for a couple of seasons and he wrote some great articles. Anyway when the tanking mess started the HUN went very hard like they had a vendetta, from us changing a few years before. Surprisingly when Essendon got done for drugs the HUN had a media deal and tried as hard as they could to get them off.

    • 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.
