Ha - no myth.  The first time I played in a serious basketball team I crashed the pack and was sent off.  Never played again.

Sue I took the best spekky ever in a basketball match, not paid and sent off! I prefer footy 😄

    If he gets off it will be daylight robbery.

    MRO and Tribunal are so inconsistent that its almost corrupt.

    So if Pendles gets a fine for EXACTLY the same thing, then I'm afraid Pickett does too.

    But its the AFL, and Pickett isn't a BIG name, so don't be surprised if he gets a week cause of the 'NO NAME' factor.

    Agree, but he will still get a fine.

    A  $6250 fine reduced to $3750 with the early plea for the strike.

    something is very cooked when you can punch someone off the ball (no matter how hard) and only get a fine.

    Somewhere I recall there have been suggestions that the MRO and tribunal are corrupt incompetent institutions.  There has certainly nothin happen this week to suggest otherwise.

    Correct.

    All intentional strikes should be a minimum week.

    It is as disgraceful an aspect to the MRO box-ticking system as there is.

    Fines are a crock anyway.

    Mean nothing to these guys.

    Who knows who actually pays them anyway.

    Higgins should have just punched aliir in the guts

    Would have saved him 3 weeks suspension.

    I remember one time at the MCG, I think it was 1989, when Grinter squarely laid a punch in the guts of a Richmond player and got 7 weeks for his efforts (he had some suspended penalties on him).  If he played today he'd be the most heavily fined player in the AFL.

    Higgins 3 weeks?! No sling just brought him to ground. Held his arm so maybe a week. Allir is twice the size of Higgins, too

    WTF is happening at the MRO

    glad they are challenging

    Two weeks ago Lever is in the wrong for flopping his head and Cameron gets off because he’s a good bloke. 
    Higgins does the same thing, Aliir unfortunately is knocked out and he cops 3. Madness. 
     

    Both actions deserve one week.

    That question Dub, is the AFL equivalent of "What is the meaning of life" ?

    ( Or any other unanswerable conundrum that comes to mind )

    • 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.
