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.


OMG WTF is happening with Adelaide?

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
