This is taking even longer than a goal review after the ball has clearly hit the post or been touched behind the line.

    The door has been opened. Apparently the Tribunal said he was contesting the ball but should have been more careful. They didn’t say he bumped.

    I smell a rat. Why wouldn’t they have simply found he bumped?

    Is this a set up to get him off at the last stop, so it looks like they fought hard to suspend him.

    We will see.

    That rat is getting more smelly.

    We know a fish rots from the head, but it seems that a rat does too.

    What a farce! Don't really care either way but gotta be a big distraction for their club and ultimately the team this whole episode. Can't wait to Smash the pretenders

    A pity this hearing wasn’t on a plane. Cripps would be a certainty to be out with DVT being up in the air for so long

    Just to top things off, Carlton is to get a draft compo pick for a 30 year old retiring rather than be vaccinated under the AFL guidelines.

    Give us a break.

    The longer the deliberations the greater the chance of overturn the result

    I better start saving for my upcoming vagrancy and public nuisance charges.

    Just wait until the AFL announces an end of first round pick as compo

    Organise a couple of false identities and receive some dud pension or dole money chook.

    It's what the AFL would recommend.

    This whole process is taking far longer than both the bloody matches he’s missing. What a waste of time and money!

    And would they waste this much time on a no name player in the interest of justice.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
