    Agree

    Cotchin's tackle was way worse than Lynch knee. Should've been a week, maybe even 2 weeks in a normal H&A season

    Cotchin is a massive sniper

    Lynch is a key forward, so it's fair to assume he cops heaps of treatment from his weekly tormenter. If he hands out the occasional sly one it's no big deal for me.

    $750 fine.  Wow that will really discourage him and his $%# coach from continuing to snipe.  A football penalty is the only thing these guys understand.

    Is that Lynch’s third fine for the year? 

    I taut it was his fort offence, as they'd say in County Kark.

    Fourth.

    Sam Collins, Jarrod Witts, Alex Witherden.

    The Michael Hurley incident did not result in a fine.

    Aren’t players suppose to cop a suspension after they’ve received three or four fines in one season?

    if that were the case you could safely bet they would have found a reason to not fine him

    I don't understand the concept:' Its finals time. There’ll be no suspension nor should there be.'

    So, because it's a final, anything goes. That is codswallop bean curd crapola.

     

    It's what happens though, I don't understand alot about the AFL's logic.

    However, wait until we get to a prelim and Gawn gets suspended for jumping with his knee too high in the ruck and Oliver gets a week for staging when he ducks into a tackle like Selwood does.

    He was only doing a BLM knee in solidarity with George Floyd.   Lovely gesture. ?

    I thought 3 fines = 1 week. I actually believed that was the r e ason the tiges did not play Lynch last week.

    Surely the AFL wouldn’t make a knee jerk rule change based in one case ?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
