Did anyone else hear one of the commentators say that Sam Philp (who debuted for Carlton) has six toes? Does him being a mutant give him an advantage? What other mutations might be have that we don’t know about?

    On each foot or in total ? If he falls over a lot it’s probably the latter.

    Sorry, good question. Six toes on one foot (the other foot is non-enhanced and contains the normal five). 

    I remember a few years ago that there was a long-jumper who said “I wish I had six toes on one foot, it would give me a real advantage.”

    Interesting. I wonder where that little piggy goes.

    That was my first thought, footy boots are already quite tight for the standard five toed person.

    I was thinking more about where one has roast beef and another stays at home etc ?

    Say what you want about the Saints, but I really hope they continue to improve and challenge for a flag, either with us, or before us. Makes for a far more enjoyable competition.  Suck it up Richmond

    we literally beat the blues last time we played them

    was that one very long 50m penalty or a very short 2x 50m penalties?

    i thought maybe betts gave another away for chatting back to the maggot

    I wound back and watched it a couple of times. I'm positive it was one.

    Betts questioned it then dropped it and got on with falling back.

    He was so upset by it he went back to argue it after the game.

    That Eddie Betts 50 metre was a joke

    Umpire said it was a “new rule”!!!

    What new rule?

    I have watched it a few times and can't work out what he did, other than try to get to the full back who had played on.

    He actually was blocked by another player and fell over.

    Bizarre.

    They’re saying low grade at this stage so he’ll be borderline to play us in 2 weeks.

    Even low grade hammies need about 21 days.

    Can't see them risking him in 14 days.

    Agree 100%
    Umpire needs to fully explain that one

    There’s talk of Merrett being suspended for that love tap on Silvani. Good lord if that’s the case we might well make the game non contact

    The game is not about punching players in the back, hard enough to crack their ribs and bruise their lung. All done deliberately to a guy who can’t see you coming. 
    That ain’t a love tap. 
    Rules say straight to the tribunal and minimum 3 weeks.
    BTW Carlton played one short as a result the whole game. 
    Nice tactic for a GF to a star of the opposition if it was legal. AFL would love that.

    I hope Jack Silvagni’s ok...that looked like a pretty brutal flick to the side of his jumper.

    Just heard Silvagni has a fractured rib and bruised lung....seemed extremely innocuous at the time...

    I retract my statement. Or do I... ?

    I reckon there are a few teams getting prematurely written off.

    We're 4 games into a 17 game season. Just under a quarter of the way.

    West Coast might be 1-3 but they're going to get a run of games at home, with a home crowd, in the second half of the year. Could feasibly pick up form and win a bunch of games in a row.

    Richmond was 7-6 last year then didn't lose again.

    Hate to say but feel as though the blues, saints, suns, north may have overtaking us. if they all finish above us Goodwin  inc recruitment & other coaches need to hand the keys in!

    This is some of the genuinely dumbest reasoning we see on Demonland all the time.

    Team X wins. "Team X has passed us, woe us us".

    Carlton's two wins are by a combined 3 points, and we beat them two weeks ago.

    Gold Coast has beaten Adelaide, Fremantle and West Coast. Two of them in line for bottom 4 finishes, the third one at the complete lowest point of their season.

    North lost to Sydney last week.

    St Kilda was non-competitive against Collingwood one week ago. The sort of performance Demonland would rely on for calls to sack the coach.

    Its where he got him, i think.  And Silvani arms outstretched upward, made him prone to be injured.

    They have been shot since 2017 GF

    That effort was for their late Cach, for it to be so bad, killed the spirit

    It has taken them this long to die....

    It’s great to see and couldn’t happen to a better team or its supporters.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
