    I remember this at the time. I laughed because he was on the boundary line calling for the ball. The radio commentary also had a laugh

    Ha ha I noticed that on the replay put pressure on the hawk player when he wasn’t actually on the ground I thought he was a bit cheeky but quick thinking.!!!

    Cheeky, reckon it only got a fine after it went a bit viral.

    Either way it shouldn't be the same fine as dacking a bloke

    I counted two dackings on the weekend and I’m sure neither attracted a fine.

    Very glad he didn't miscalculate and place a foot over the line.

    For what it's worth, I think the fine is appropriate. If no action had been taken, players would believe they could do this with impunity. That could lead to dangerous outcomes.

    If he was already warming up around the boundary line, I reckon a heckle is ok.

    But running at the player like this doesn't sit right to me, as it makes it "feel" like there is an extra defender. I don't think it's appropriate.

    But as said above, exposing another player on the field should be a more significant penalty than this!

    Yeah I suppose the sanction is warranted, I love that he's invested though.

    Agree. If left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before most bench players started lining up to scream abuse. Admire his passion though.

    A player could get duped and pass the ball, out on the full. Then the face palming that ensued could easily cause concussion, and we all know the head is sacrosanct.

    • 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.
