Not impossible. Carltank had the chance to do it in 2013!

Good call ?

    Rona just continues to give to Victoria - & interstaters will continue to benefit with home ground advantage.

    That said we're all done with Tioges era - a new one dawns.....

    How was Ryan’s kick to Kennedy judged over 15 m?  - should have been play-on for mine.

    It clearly wasn't. I wouldn't want to buy real estate from those umpires!!

    It went about half as far as the kick marked by Cameron at the end of the Swans - Geelong game which was not paid

    Game No. 5 of this season  decided by bad umpiring in the final minute. It was 8 ms if it was anything.

    You just can't be close near the end of the game to take umpiring out of the equation. double free kicks- again - to eagles. 

    But I thought the tiges looked off esp in forward entries and now don't fear then in September. Dusty trying too hard reminded me of the Dees pre-2021.

    Reiwoldt unsighted when needed. 

    Nic Nat's feeding of his midfield in center  was sublime and Tiges just seemed unable to cope

    Actually there were 3 game results turned by atrocious umpiring decisions this round for a total of 6 so far for the season.
    Adelaide/Saints - Dubious free kick to Thilthorpe  at the death.

    North /GWS - Umpire  failed to pay blatant incorrect disposal by North in front of GWS goal in the dying minutes.
     

    It has been a pattern with Riewoldt this season. In most games starts red hot then disappears.

    I only watched the last five minutes, while I agree about the kick not being 15 metres I also thought Richmond got away with a couple of throws in that period.

    But, but, we’re told umpiring doesn’t impact the outcome.

    Interestingly nobody has focused on the mark itself.....which wasn't in fact a mark!  Whilst he gets his hand under the footy, the belly of the ball is clearly in contact with the grass.  Not that I'm unhappy with the result!

    If the umps called that play on they would be copping flak similar to the Cameron mark. You can see where it was kicked and marked below.

    Must say I thought that at first but I think he had his forearm between the ball and the ground. It was certainly close

    maybe not, but that view shows it was a lot closer to 15m than the view seemed to show on tv

    there were longer ones called play on during the game

    Have always wondered about people who spend so much of their time videoing the game.

    Went to the Soccer World cup in Russia in 2018. People would video games from start to finish.

    Sure a minute here and there but whole matches.

    Whoever would watch them?

    Agred they threw it a few times IMO.  But the Kennedy mark was 60 ish seconds to go and a game changing opportunity.

    • 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.
