Hardly ever ends in a good result with heads connecting with elbows. 

Had no time to avoid so the benefit of doubt might look after him.

    If they use the Hawkins criteria he will be safe: if the MFC one then gone.

    I don't think so. Fine at most.

    He was defending off a tackle, the north bloke came in low.

    I'm curious what Zieball did to Fritsch in the first off the ball. Does anyone know what happened there?

    Yeah we never saw a replay of what happened.

    The fact there was no concussion helps. Fine at best I hope

    He must play no concussion that's what saves him.

    I think he’ll get 1-2 weeks, as much as I hope he gets a fine. Elbows to heads aren’t looked highly upon.

    If it was the oppo doing it to us we’d be screaming for a suspension.

    It did happen to us with May and Hawkins and most of us realised that accidents happen.

    Fritsch had half a step to avoid being crunched and out an elbow out to protect himself. Not his fault the North player ran in to it.

    Was it intentional?

    that will be the crux between a fine or Suspension

    I dunno, it didn’t look good. The guy didn’t come back on did he? 
    I mean Hawkins smashed May’s face and it was accidental. They may say it’s accidental but the elbow was a little raised and he does play for Melbourne. 
    Good record so I would say he misses a week.

    Honestly got no idea, wasn't necessary but didnt believe it was intentional at the time of seeing it. Would have to see it back. Tackle was low, anyone's guess what happens.

    If Fritta gets a week or two then the afl is corrupt. There was nothing deliberate in it and no concussion.

    • 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.
