I can only remember when Stephen King decided to have a leg swipe in a ruck contest against Jeff White.  Result?  Jeff White has metal plates put in his face.  Tom Hawkins throws an errant elbow and breaks Maysie's eye socket.  Last year, Hawkins again pushes Maysie in the back and his hammy goes.

......And now this with Clarrie.  Where is the duty of care?

....

Of course there is duty of care but I can’t see any way possible that Selwood was trying to kick Oliver’s hand.  Surely that’s a bridge to far

    Didn't Oliver have 11 contested possessions in the last - with a broken thumb?

    Correct. But was Chandler trying to knock out the player he concussed?

    Great call. The difference between “careless” and “intentional” is a grey area

    When Bomber Thomson was asked about it post match he basically said it was White's fault. I'm still angry about that one.

    At no stage did I say Selwood was trying to kick Clarrie's hand.  My point is, if a player is trying to take possession of the ball, a kick in hope clearly has a potential to injure the opposing player.  There is the duty of care right there.

    I'm not entirely sure if I'm correct here, but the feeling I get is that you don't like the Geelong Football Club?

    Accidents will happen on a footy field, but it wasn’t a case of a player coming in from the opposite direction or being obscured by team mates. Oliver and Selwood were contesting as direct opponents. To hack wildly at the footy when your opponent is going for the ball is bush league. Of course, being Selwood it isn’t even mentioned

    I didn't particularly like Cats on 8th Sept 1947..

    If an ostensibly legal side bump can become a reportable offense if the recipient falls on his head, then kicking in danger when the ball was not even on the ground, was being contested and caused a serious injury should also be a reportable offense.

    AFL wake up!

    What might be the reason(s) for Oliver not playing after surgery? Is it (1) bone structure protection to stop further damage? (2) to allow the surgical scar to heal? (3) pain, or, conversely, having to play with a numbed hand which makes it hard to use that hand?

    Never fear Jake Melksham is here.

    I read that and instantly thought that Salem was trolling Demonland.

    That's ludicrous by Salem to even suggest Melksham to replace Oliver.

    Melky and Dunstan combined wouldn't make up for the loss of Clarry.

    Listen to Salem's press conference (not v interesting) but he actually mishears the question. Salem says he doesn't know whether Oliver will miss or not - the journo then asks if he's saying there's a chance Oliver will play. I can't remember the exact wording, but Salem thought he said, who could come in for Oliver, to which Salem replies that there are several midfielders ready like Dunstan, Melksham...

    Nek minnit, Dunstan's a shoo-in!

    Good to see Turner available.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the team.

    I wonder if Howes can force his way in, in the time left of the H&A games.

    • 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.
