Gil should [censored] off now and take Scott with him.

 

Seriously, the umpiring is making this sport hard to watch, that prohibitive contact against Rioli is a joke, not seen anything like the last two rounds.

 

That is Scott and Gil’s handiwork, clowns should go

So now a player can’t brush past another player. I don’t blame those feral Tigers supporters for losing it. 

I agree that one was absurd, but IF it was used to penalise those cheap jabs and actual punches when the ball is out of play (like those that Max  cops regularly)  it would be a good thing.

    This is largely a result of the over technical use of the dissent rule IMO.  The dissent option means umps feel overly protected/special this season and can call any BS call they want/like/feel like knowing that most are unable to push back for fear of another free or 50.

    Well done Wankervis haha

    The first swing was open-handed, but still contact to his head (face). The second one looked more serious. Let’s see what happens. 

    Yes it will be interesting to have a good look at the second one. If it wasn’t a fist Cotchin should be got for over acting. But commentators were straight into excuses.

    … except it probably won’t.

    I genuinely don't get the complaining about umpiring in this particular game. They've been okay - not brilliant but not terrible.

    Most of the issues have been with both teams doing stupid, undisciplined things. That Nankervis downfield for instance - what does he possibly expect for collecting a player late, unnecessarily, and two metres away from an umpire looking straight at him? Sydney have given away a four goal swing from crazy fake-tough frees.

    Ralph Smith looks very handy tonight

    Why on earth would you handball back inside within 20 meters under that sort of pressure.... just bail it with a tumble punt wide as possible

    The umpires are dictating the flow of this game. I wonder who they will encourage to win it

    It’s the prohibitive contact frees most seem bothered with

    Bloody hell - this has turned out to be a cracking contest.

    5 goals to Franklin guarantees that he will NOT be suspended.

    Buddy's such a gun. I used to hate him. Now I just feel privileged to have seen his whole career.

    The last true legendary forward of the VFL/AFL.

    • 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.
