Late to the party, what’s this new 50m rule when it’s a 1-2?

danger fell over after a little contact and gets a goal. [censored] joke

    Love them or hate them, it looks like Geelong have weathered the Pies best efforts, and and now settling. Selwood - a sook and free kick hunter but one of the best captains I have seen - is now a liability.

    Don’t think it’s new Dub. You can’t hold a bloke after he gives off a handball and is looking to get it back. A 50 is awarded.

    Well I’ve watch a lot of footy and never seen it before. Maybe one if those dormant rules that’s been rejuvenated?

    Years ago they paid it more regularly, they don’t pay it anywhere near enough these days.

    It's fairly new (last two years or so?) - designed to stop snipers and promote attacking footy. Whether it does that... 🤷

    I believe it was brought in after an early 2010s GF where Ablett Jr either did this, or had this done to him. It's called the Ablett rule, i.e., illegally blocking a player from getting a handball receive is a 50 rather than a free to the infringed player. Rarely enforced, and usually incorrectly awarded a free to the infringed player (not a 50 as per the rule).

    One actually happened to (I think Hunt) in the Dees game last night when Langdon tried to handpass to him but Hunt was impeded. Hunt got the free, but IMO it should have been 50 per the rule. It totally destroyed our momentum in that passage, which I believe is what the rule was brought in to prevent.

    OMG - Selwood the ducking winger HTB, goal Collingwood .... then a second free.  Great culture Cats.

    Then, Selwood again missed an easy tackle on Sidebum. 

    He is going too get really angry and maybe completely loses it.

    Selwood getting jeered, then run down from behind, might just be the best thing I’ll see all weekend. And I saw Langdon’s goal.

    Bit annoying that Collingwood look like being one of our competitors in the finals. In the sense that they might be able to make a prelim via the 5-8 route.

    Pendlebury was airing his concerns to the ump about Geelong players “going to ground.” What does that mean?

    • 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.
