We win because we were in front at half time. So if Kossie had missed we would have lost and were 32 point in front.

Not the rule. If the game is past halfway, team in front as the scores are when called off are the winners.

    Absolutely. Thank WA government and their [censored]. Could have played yesterday but no, 7 days to quarantine 🙄 coz 6 is not enough but 14 is too much. Flogs. 

    Exactly. Political posturing masquerading as Pseudoscience.

    He has been amazing today. Would almost say today has been a more complete performance than last week. 

    Rising star surely. 

    Attacking the marks, brilliant at ground level!! Loved his work tonight.

    What I was told was the game would normally continue with lightning but the metal plate in McGovern’s head attracts the lighting so the players had to clear the ground.

    How big is Kozzies goal on the siren now?

    I think it is whoever in front when they stop the game not who is in front at half time.  You need to start the 3rd qtr for it to be a result

    I know that, you know that - why don't the commentators whose job it is to know this stuff and who p;layed the bloody game know that!

    Pretty sure they changed the rules after the Essendon/St.Kilda blackout game at Waverley in the early 90s

    Not liking the idea of sending our guys back out cold, sounds like soft tissue territory.

    100% - not feeling great about this.

    Current result stands at time of stoppage if after half time

    They don't wind it back

    That's good if correct

    Xavier Ellis reported the half time result would apply

    If it ends this way it's kind of a downer just in the sense we want to roll them.

    David King is saying if I'm Melbourne I'm saying nah that's it. He said why would you want your players cooling down then running back out there. If we lose any key players to hammys or groins I will be filthy

    Is the game clock still ticking. Might be a handle trivia question for years to come, The longest ever fourth quarter in an AFL game.

    No, the ruling is that if the game has reached half time, the team in the lead when it is called off, gets the four points.

    I would have thought so too. How would it be if West coast were in front at half time yet we were 6 goals up now. You wouldn't have to worry about the anti vaccine protesters, MFC members would be coming!

    Can we all just agree to disagree and award us the win.

    • 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.
