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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
