    And let's not forget Dangerfield got BOG the following week. So much for serious concussion

    Should get multiple weeks for that. But of course if the player gets up and plays on the AFL won’t punish.

    as the commentator said "there wouldn't be any malice in that from burgoyne, he thought he still had the ball"

    there are always protected species, clubs

    it was exactly the tackle the law was brought in to stop

    if there is any consistency (joke) he has to be suspended

    Still can't believe Jack got suspended for that.

    100% perfect tackle. Should have had a free his way for dropping the ball

    It was a reckless, dangerous tackle that was completely unnecessary. The AFL is weak if he gets anything less than a couple of weeks. And how ridiculous that the penalty depends on the outcome. Whether or not Burgoyne thought Dangerfield had the ball is irrelevant - there’s a duty of care.

    Absolute farce:

    There shouldn't be a rule tweak here, the players know what they are not allowed to do. The AFL should be retrospectively be appealing and he should get one week. Honestly such a joke and every player that gets done for it now (what's the bet Viney will next week) should feel rightly p****d off that Burgoyne got away with a suspension.

    What’s the phrase the AFL has used for the last ~5 years? Essentially about personally accountability of the player to not looking to hurt the other player.

    Ffs because it is PB he gets a free ride, Viney cops the punishment.

    • 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.
