Toby Pink giving us a clear demonstration of the yawning gap between the SANFL and the AFL. He'll need a month of counselling if he stays on McKay all day.

    No they haven’t.

    Its not a free when the back man touches his opponents side and the forward  holds his hand in.

    It’s also not a free kick when the forward just throws one arm behind him and the umpire imagines it is being held.

    Soft as butter some of their frees giving charity goals.  

    when the backman holds onto the arm and stops the forward going at the contest it should be a free

    every time

    Some North players have to be on 200k+ more a year than they’d get at another club, just to meet their salary cap requirements.

    Them and the Eagles are an example of where the minimum salary cap doesn’t work.

    we were in the same position too in the post-daniher, pre-goodwin era

    players being paid on potential not performance

    It's not always the frees they pay, it's the ones they don't, Cripps constantly throws the ball, two handed

    North can't take a trick. They're playing Coldplay after every goal the score.

    Clubs should be able to bank some of the money to help attract free agents. We’ve gotten so creative with points systems, we should allow some leeway.

    Agree, but that wasn’t what I described to you on two particular incidents.

    Commentators agreed btw, not that that proves anything.

    Was going to say the same. What a soul-crushing time that was.

    Ooooooof course that's the outcome. Hey parents everywhere, the AFL condone players thumping opponents in the solar plexus unawares and off the ball. Keep that in mind when supporting your kids into a sport.

    Correct. And sometimes he shrugs it out. Never penalised.

    IMO the umpires appear intent on punishing North for being rubbish by rewarding Carlton every half-free kick they can find.

    Low impact for the Pendlebury strike, seriously?

    It was medium at the very least, as he floored Neale with it………..oh but wait, medium impact would mean suspension

    • 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.
