    The way I'm reading a lot of these deals is that Essendon, Collingwood and Geelong have been allowed to operate outside of the 7.30 deadline.

    Pretty much.

    The AfL will justify it, but essentially the deals were not done and shouldn't stand.

    Apart from the obvious lack of AFL integrity, it probably doesn't really matter

    There was a system in place where clubs just had to get an email into the AFL on the deal they were working on before 7.30pm. That's why clubs were allowed to still complete deals after the deadline.

    I understand that.

    It just makes you wonder why have a deadline if it's not really a hard deadline.

    What is the definition of a completed deal? Why should they be allowed to f around for so long ad leave until the end?

    Yeah it's a bit bizarre hey? They have over a week to get it done and then people are emailing at 7.29pm to get extra time.

    i think just to give it an end, because clubs would still be going for players and trades for days if not weeks for the rest of the year.

    Don't forget the AFL wanted to try and maximise ratings/clicks and having deals fall right at 7:30 to build the suspense.

    A doggies supporter on bigfooty posted on the MFC that we had very good word that we were interested in Nick Hind from the Saints.

    Anyone know much about him? All I know is that he is very quick?

    ?

    A poor call in Hind-sight (I feel like this jokes been made before?)

    I definitely understand that.

    It's all about Gil filling his pockets with ad and tv revenue.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
