Clearly two very different versions of holding the ball. 

Who is 35 GW$?   Just throwing elbows to the larynx then kneed same guy in the head when on the ground. Dirty dog. 

They get the Greene light from the AFL don't they.

Boomtish

    Maybe, but these constant elbows to the ribs and the kidneys are unnecessary. 

    So pay a free. But don’t tell the players the rules, it is not right

    They are just plucking decisions out of their [censored]. Razor Ray the worst.

    WTF was that holding free just on the siren?

    Looked like a 50/50 or the Lion being held. Was that the showman Chamberpot who paid that?

    Tomlinson watch:

    5 possessions and just directly cost his side a goal with a kick into the man on the mark.

    Me thinks he’s mentally checked out.

    I hope they are not getting him to play wing (as has been reported in the media), has been very poor so far.

    While he is better than some of our fringe players it will be a terrible decision if it takes our ability to pay for a quality player in the future away. I can't see where he fits into our team.

    Agree with you there.  But just because it 'has always been part of the game" does not justify actions which have nothing to do with the game.  If I wanted to watch boxing or karate, I wouldn't go to the footy.

    It’s a physical game. Niggle has always been part of it

    Certainly a physical game but why should good players in particular have to put up with incessant jabs (Essendon excepted), punches and elbows. 

    Times do change - how many games would Jack Dyer or Ted Whitten or Leigh Matthews play in a year nowadays?

    Don’t understand this game anymore

    Lions being a bit Melbournian dominating inside 50s but only scoring behinds. 

    Bombing it in for the GW$ to take simple marks.

    That is an interesting question, i am not against an Umpire calling a free. But it is Not his job to Coach players on how to play the game.

    Lions may as well kick the ball along the ground when entering fwd 50.

    • 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.
