How does it come to pass that you guys read it more clearly than the lawyers tasked with representing? (not a crack, just confused?)

Maybe 'Landers are far better lawyers.

    Yeah I’m confused too.. are people watching this somewhere or making judgements purely on tweets? 
     

    If it’s the latter I think it’s fair to say we have no idea what’s been said

    It’s not looking good. I imagine they’re trying to come up with a statement that won’t send the AFL community into meltdown. Again.

    They have to 'appear' to be giving it serious consideration, whether that is the case or not

    So Red, why can’t it be as simple as showing the Fogarty spoil and then Jacob’s and asking wtf is different?

    Because this is an Appeal and we need to show legal errors, not other incidents missed.

    the standard of the reporting blog certainly isn't what it used to be.

    I suspect one needed to be there to understand the arguments in full.

    In this day and age of voice generated text not to mention zoom no reason it's not more fully reported

    Well, according to the AFL 2023 Tribunal Guidelines, unless something has been cited by the MRO (with or without penalty) it cannot be presented as evidence in a tribunal hearing. I'm not sure if the appeals process is bound by the same guidelines, but it could be.

    Purely a guess on my behalf though.

    So the example could/should have been presented in the first appeal?

    I know you said you haven’t read the proceedings, but once you do I would be interested in your opinion of our defense. I’m not a lawyer but I wasn’t impressed. AFL seem to have made a stronger argument.

    • 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.
