over an hour ago the AFL verdict was imminent according to Tom Morris so ...

Damn. If you said Tom Browne they would have been cleared to play.

    You can argue about their risks of exposure be it high or low but the fact of the matter is is that by breaking the rules, draconian or otherwise, they potentially put the whole team at "risk of having to forfeit" due to potential exposure.

    When did the club know about this?

    Were the boys at training today? Have they mixed with others since breaching? Doesn't Kozzy live with Jets? Does he now risk having to pull out because of second hand exposure. It's a potential minefield.

    I actually believe the risk is low but if the AFL and the state governments want to get tough they could wield a hammer here. I don't think they will but if any team was going to get [censored] it would be us.

    There’s nothing on the AFL site about it. Until we know how they were supposed to have breached regs, we can’t assume that it warrants a suspension.

    As if our forward line wasn’t [censored] enough! Now we lose Pickett... fmd.

    Reckon Carlton will win tomorrow. Just a feeling. Probably mfcss.

    Have a feeling Lockhart isn't fit. I couldn't believe he was out of the 22, let alone not an emergency.

    None of the remaining emergencies are a great fit however.

    Very disappointing.

    Whether you agree with the current COVID rules or not, they are there and the players know they are supposed to adhere to them.

    They may or may not. Either way, it won't be because Kozzie (a 1 game veteran) isn't playing.

    I heard he’s carrying a bit of an injury. I hope Bedford takes K-Picks spot.

    Is it possible that Hannan might get a run?

    His stupidity has cost him a place along side uncle Nev for his big milestone game.

    Looks like we have no choice but to delist Spargo as a result.

    Could not give a fat rats Clacker about Spargo, But Kossie on the other hand is potentially a big loss!

    Forgive my lack of awareness but what are the rules for players? Zero contact with any of the public aside from other players and coaches?

    Good shout, haven’t heard anything about Hannan but if he’s fit I’d be keen to see him back in the line up.

    no contact outside your approved bubble. Every players living environment has been approved.

    Not sure if they are even allowed out for food shopping

    • 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.
