Only in AFL with AFL commentators could a player not get a free for either the initial tackle or the pile on just because he had said something 'insulting' during the week.  What a circus.

Cannot understand why there is not a bigger outcry over this incident.

Blatant animal thuggery by a bunch of sooky under instruction cowards.

    With the narrative the media have it is no surprise. It's more entertainment than sport these days. They don't want us winning 2 straight and there's not many Dees supporters in the media.

    Imagine if Langdon got concussion. He hit his head the ground quite hard and was lucky he was not hurt. The media like to [censored] the horse from both ends. They would have screamed outrage at the targeted irresponsible tackle and the brutality of it all as well as the lax umpiring and inaction to prevent these kind of incidents from the AFL.

    I can imagine how Langdon's family felt about him having an "attempted burial" during a game. It was a disgrace and a terrible look for a potential team of thugs.

    See my new rule of the week thread. He had at least 3 frees in that incident without one being paid. I thought it was disgusting.

    The commentators are now confirmed garbage as their comments were not about any free missed but that the violence showed the Pies had come to play.

    What about the pile drive of his head into the ground by Maynard? MRO will be a nothing to see hear from ex Pie Christian.

    Did you notice Pendles come in late, as Langdon was lying on the ground with 2 fists resting/pushing into his face, with a forearm to the jaw? Yes the clean Pies Captain, who then whinges to the umpires for the whole game, like he does every week.

    They will be letting this go at their own peril.

    I mean this rag tag club has got form for discrimination and all sorts of other baggage, and from what I hear two of the perpetrators were people that were very interested in dropping away from there for big financial gain.WTF

    Multiple combinations but I suppose we are hoping for Carlton to beat Brisbane but not by  so much that they get say a 5 point percentage boost.

    Life would be so much easier had we beaten the Dogs and the Pies

    Swans looking good to move into top 4

    Only early but right at the moment fails would be Coll Vs Melb  and Cats Vs Swans.  Now I would not want to play the Swans at the MCG first up.

    North will probably fade away late and let the Swans get us on percent

    Need 46 points at the moment to catch us. Still would be equal on points so even if both teams won their last two game would come down to who won be the most.  There are so many ways this can work out even with only two game to go. Swan might beat the Pies and end up 3rd, we play them at the G or beat the Pies by 24 points and end up 2nd we play the in Sydney. Of course we win one and play the Cats at the G or miss the top 4 all together. Some one get me a headache tablet, make it two.

    I feel like Brisbane are the anti-Demons. They feel like they could explode, go bang and kick 25 goals, but they also feel like they don’t have any team defensive structure.

    We're going to be 5th by the end of today.

    North are a rubbish team ... I'd say they are doing their best

    But their best is not good!

    Doubt it very much unless the Blues hit Treasury Casino a little early.

    The AFL draw definitely shaped the look of the eight this year. Geelong and Swans  got Norf twice + % boost. Geelong also got two bites at the eagles . 

    Geelong are laughing at the moment. Too easy for them. Everyone in the 8 has to fight for their lives except Geelong. 

    Hope they go out in straight sets.  Too many soft  H & AW games.

    I am dead set ready to throw my Foxtel box out the window. Stupid box takes forever to work & when it does come on it just randomly changes channels and is running to its own brain

    • 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.
