I think the vital question being ignored here is where the hell is Kane Cornes sitting? Does he have a magic golden box and bowl setup?

    The Media absolutely hating on us this year.

    I can’t watch any of the footy shows anymore , King, Cornes, Whateley, Robbo, Caroline Wilson, BT, just love sinking the boots in.

    I mentioned the hate for the Demons on here a few years back and mostly got howled down as it being nonsense.

    Hope everyone here has felt that this year as it's not just the odd media journo.

    If you attended a few games at the G you would have felt/heard it there as well.

    2023 has to be a big year for this club.  Need to come out and wack all these farkers big time.

    2023 ....THE YEAR OF NO MERCY!!

    Even if you accept this twaddle, how was Oliver meant to know it wasn't intentional?

    Where was the ‘player’s code’ when Buddy faked being hit in the back to milk a free which turned the momentum in the grand final? That guy is seriously untouchable. His antics should have drawn much more attention. Oliver is hated and admired at the same time

    Luke Hodge in for some impartial evidence. I mean he mounted the defence for Berry immediately in the media. What a conflict of interest. I hate Brisbane, the grubby wannabe tough guys. We need to dominate them next year. I hope the cats murder them this weekend

    Berry’s suspension was overturned. Of course.

    Just what Lincoln McCarthy did on Friday night is enough to make me wanna see Geelong smash them. This successful Berry appeal just solidifies it.

    Perhaps because he's actually played AFL pal..and also  knows Clarrie is given to falling over and not being as tough in the clinches as he is in the contested packs 

    Besides which he wasn't actually gouged in the eye.

    I have no idea who you are IRW, but that is one of the oddest posts I have ever seen on Demonland (and considering the wide field of "odd posts" that is quite a claim!). But I feel a Monty Python quote coming on, from the Holy Grail: "what a strange person".

    I will explain it to you then

    Pendlebury's opinion is likely informed by his understanding of what actually happens on the AFL ground.

    It is probably moderated by players generally wanting other players to get a finals game unless they are a thug  like Toby Greene.

    It seems relatively  common that  Oliver falls over to milk frees outside of pack contests.

    He's not soft  just a lousy actor.

    And the charge wasn't eye gouging so the decision doesn't relate to that.

    You don't have to like it but is it too hard for you to understand .

    Your response wasn't odd   merely typically prejudiced and childish

    So Oliver reddened his eye himself.  Give it a rest

    Do you mean "Clarry is tough in the game, especially in contested packs, but he doesn't pretend to be a hard man when people hit him out of play or off the ball"?

    Clarry goes as hard as anyone in field. No one should need to cop hits, or knocks or punches etc once the whistle has gone and you aren't expecting contact.

    Expecting players to be braced and ready to absorb assault at any moment when on the field is ridiculous.

    Clarry gets illegally held at every stoppage but only a couple of frees are awarded. Absolute scam.

    Seeing the scragging going on at every single contest without anything from the umpires is one of the things that makes me question why I bother watching the sport

    I'm not into conspiracy theories as a rule but I am beginning to believe there is a real dislike of Clayton from other players.  The last two years he didn't get near the MVP despite winning the AFLCA award in both years.  Blokes like Pendlebury come out and blacken his name with his "elbow into the throat" bs. Just seems like there is a bit more going on here.

    Berry was always going to get off, especially when next game is a final.

    Need something like, when he plays us next suspension. He will be our target along with Zorko and McCarthy.

    It will be a grudge match when we meet them again.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
