If last week didn’t prove it this week does, Freo are the real deal. They feel very similar to us last year, they’ve got lots to prove and the talent to do it. Question will be if they can sustain it, that question was posed to us and the rest is history. How will Freo go if they reach the top of the table and become hunted though?

    Sorry, but it is. Just as holding a jumper when a player has not got the ball is holding the man, holding a jumper of a player with the ball and the player does not dispose of it = holding the ball. Always was, always has been. 

    might be technically but it doesn't get paid unless you tackle or swing the bloke around with intent.  if you stand next to the guy and gently hold his jumper you'll never get a free

    It changed to have to be an effective tackle.

    I see on the AFL website McCrae is going to get clarification around ginnivan. So guess what will get paid next week

    LOL.  Hope the AFL says: dropping the knees, ducking the head and diving are faking and should not be rewarded.  In fact they should be penalised. 

    tbh Ginnivan did deserve a couple of frees not paid.

    I laughed when McCrae said that 'Selwood had made a living out of it'.  Sam Mitchell  said the same of Puopolo.

    Hopefully, the umpires keep up the non paying of frees to the likes of Weightman and Ginnivan.  Stop them while young so they don't grow into a Selwood type.  Btw, I've noticed that Spargo and Kozzie aren't playing for frees so much lately.

    • 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.
