It's the second time Thomas has injured one of our players in 2 games this year.

He likes to dish it out, not sure if he puts himself on the line to the same extent.

But I'd certainly love that tackle it was Viney or Kossie.

    Absolute bollocks.

    His arms were free. Fair tackle - no prior, ball-up.

    I was wrong & you are correct his arms are free.

    However absolutely reckless to pile drive him 6 inches into the ground. Arguably even more dangerous than a sling tackle.

    If its not illegal it should be.

    Incident explained:
    The incident involving North Melbourne’s Tarryn Thomas and Narrm’s Ed Langdon from the first quarter of Saturday's match between North Melbourne and Narrm was assessed. Langdon gains possession of the ball in North Melbourne’s back pocket before he is tackled by Thomas. It was the view of the Match Review Officer that Thomas’ actions did not constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.

    I wish they'd actually explain these incidents.

    A big dumping tackle is a reportable offence. They can state why they think it wasn't or why the level of force makes it less than a fine or suspension, but instead they don't. There's not actually any explanation in their explanation!

    Couldn't agree more.

    All this provides is a description of what we can see in the footage and then "it was the view of the Match Review Officer that [player's] actions did not constitute a reportable offence".

    We'll have to agree to disagree Franky. These things happen every week & the usual worst case scenario is that the player underneath gets winded. Ed was unlucky.

    I'm a believer in tackling with intent & if the player tackled comes out of it a bit sore, so much the better.

    As others have said, I'd applaud any of our blokes who laid that tackle

    Disagree, I thought it was a fair albeit bone crunching tackle. If the shoe was on the other foot we’d all be lauding it.

    I don't think it should even have been a free kick let alone a report. 

    Head/spine injuries are the danger areas. Ribs, shoulder, etc. are the risks inherent in a full contact sport

    So 4 weeks is still a win for the cats, but also within parameters. If it had been a bad boy like Toby 6 or for Hawkins 1

    I agree. Or at least 5. 4 weeks was the absolute minimum for what was a deliberate, high,  late,  shoulder to the head . A hit  which also lead to a pretty severe concussion.

    Any other player from any other team would have ‘been.n example of’ and copped 6. 
     

    Could you imagine if that was Toby Greene laying the bump?

    When Scott was giving 4 votes to Stewart he obviously got confused with the match Review Penalty

    • 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.
