I can live with Cripps action not being worthy of suspension. I can’t accept there being a different set of rules for star players than the rest of the competition.

    I hope Chandler is furious with us for not supporting him.

    Precedent has now been set - bumps to the head that result in concussion are now legal.

    Could be some absolute lunacy ahead!

    Not reasonable, not caring for protection of the head, but also not in the least unexpected.

    Apparently there is no mention in the Magna Carta about choosing to bump!

    There can no longer be any doubt The AFL is a corrupt organisation.

    They should offer workshops to The Bandidos, Comancheros  et el to improve their corporate performance.

    [censored] me ! Why stop there, go international - I'm sure the generals in Myanmar could learn a thing or two from the experts!

     

    This is now beyond a joke. The AFL is  a powerful  billion dollar organisation. Surely there need to be some sort of judicial enquiry into their governance.

    We don’t really have much luck. Cripps should be out. Elliot shouldn’t have been given frees in front of goals against Collingwood. Eugle Hagen plays his only decent game of his AFL career and luck would have it - it’s against us. I’ve about had it.

    “The finding was unreasonable and did not comply with the requirements of procedural fairness,” said the appeals board chairman Murray Kellman.

    What the hell does that mean?

    He was always getting off. Look at the fact that Carlton were given extra time to get the appeal in. Then over 5 hours hearing. They waited until most were asleep to sneak the decision. It’s as corrupt as it gets.

    I think you are missing the point.

    I am sure they have found he contested, not bumped.

    Paddy Ryder who stood still and had a player run into him and get whiplash, copped two weeks.

    He should sue.

    And this is why, if Melbourne folded tomorrow, I would never watch another game of football ever again.

    • 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.
