Riewoldt's Cheap Shot

The AFL is so corrupt! Trying to cave in a bloke's ribs with an elbow draws a fine (because Jack is obviously a 'good bloke'). Compare this to the one match suspension May copped last year, ruling him out of round 1.

    I'm not so sure it's so obvious that he is...

    Got a reprimand under the ‘good bloke’ ruling, ala Burgoyne. 

    If it were the other way around Sicily would’ve got 4 weeks.

    Can’t stand the AFL’s boys club.

    Their blatant bias in decision making makes them seem like such a provincial backwater league. Absolute Farce League.

    We get crucified at the tribunal I'll never forget Brent Moloney got suspended without making contact with the other bloke who fell on his head dodging him and went off injured.

    Bartel wasn't it?

    I wonder if the fact that next week's game has special significance to the Reiwoldt family, has anything to do with the outcome?  I'd actually hate to see him miss out on that game.

    Is it significant beyond the fact his cousin used to play for the Saints? Not being rude. Genuinely curious.

    As I recall, the Saints v Tigers game is officially known as Maddie's Match, in honour of the late Maddie Reiwoldt (Nick's sister and Jack's cousin).  It is a major fundraiser for 'Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision', an organisation that was established to fund medical research into finding a cure for Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.

    An organisation that Silvio Berlusconi would feel right at home within.

    Thanks Mr Empathy.  You probably should have made that response against my original post where I said that I would hate to see him miss a game that obviously means a lot to him on a personal level, rather than a post describing what that organisation does.  It must have been the red mist obscuring your vision.

    • 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.
