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....

    The crows are PATHETIC. 

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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
