GC... how are the young ones going

 

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?

crows 2017-2020 = demons 2006-2009?

came close with an ageing list, lost players to other sides, and now look utterly inept

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.
