I like Cripps.  He's everything you'd want in a mid fielder.  He tackles, he doesn't fumble, he can take a decent over head mark and he can kick goals.  He played a great game last night and it's not his fault he was out there.  I'm pleased we beat them with him in the team.

    And another one with virtually no publicity - I believe Jack Martin was “medical subbed off” last week. I maybe wrong but I thought  that meant a weeks rest? He shouldn’t have been playing either?

    Yeah, this rule needs an overhaul.

    Perhaps we should just do away with it, and instead have a system where clubs are granted extra interchanges for losing players to injury (dependent on when in the game it occurs). Keeps the available players fresher, and can’t be tampered with so obviously.

    You can’t have fresh players available to come into a game late. It’s asking to be corrupted.

    Ah Chee is set to miss another week due to the concussion he received, but my main concern is that the Blues / Pies game is a sellout.

    AFL got what they wanted.

    Patrick Cripps getting off last week was the real sellout.

    Carlton collingwood at MCG  listed as a sellout on tiketek.  its only Tuesday ffs.

    presumably only MCC seats + standing room available.

    could they give 100k a nudge.

    Is it because of the 12 day rule  Aug 7 to 19 or his concussion is serious. AFL is a joke. Cripps misses no games. All about ticket sales. Corruption.

    It really was, he could have refused to appeal and take his rightful whack...he could have done the right thing.

    ...but I'm also happy we beat them with him in.

    Yes Cordy, so they cleared him... So the chook raffle came up with a free pass again.

    You know something? You're dead right. He could have made a massive statement by respecting the decision and supporting the narrative that head high contact like that is not on.

    At the end of the day though finals was at stake, they were going to throw everything at it.

    • 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.
