When sitting in my seat at the MCG watching the umpires continue to give the Demons a hard time, I became amused when a person yelled - bring back Darren Goldspink.

Well, this fan has his wish. According to SEN, he is back and will be officiating the Melbourne vs Adelaide game. Let's just hope he gives us a fair go.

Good luck Darren and welcome back.

    cant do as bad a job as mclaren. i swear that man umpires as if he has never watched a game of footy in his life and is trying to interpert the rules as he goes. he doesnt have any feeling for the game at all. for an umpire who is supposed to be experienced he really comes across as someone who wants to be in the spotlight, who loves controling things and who doesnt quite understand the jist of the rules. he might know them well enough but he doesnt have that feeling for them to know when to apply them.

    McLaren is just terrible. He has no idea...

    in all honesty, i think the umpires should go back to having no numbers, their names not mentioned anywhere. by giving the umpires personality the afl has made them individuals, while the umpires should actually be just one entity. what happens to players with personalities? we love to hate em. we dont need any other reason to hate umpires so why single them out?

    I prefer McLaren to Goldspink.

    McLaren just doesn't have a clue either way, whereas Goldspink tries to have the biggest influence on a game that is humanly possible.

    goldspink single-handedly cost the hawks a spot in the 2001 grand final.

    McLaren should be dropped to the Warragul Under 5's. His performance on the weekend was laughable. A joke of an umpire, and Hird was dead right to publicly critisize him.

    worst part is, goldspink rewards the teams that are disciplined and straight down the line, no backchat etc. which is exactly what we have not done this year, and on the weekend, despite me still thinking mclaren is a ..., was probably our least discplined performance. if it is repeated on the weekend and the crows don't do anythign silly, goldspink will haunt us.

    What have the following 4 men got in common?

    Darren Goldspink

    Mark Risciutto

    Nathan Buckley

    Nathan Brown(WB)

    They all made their comeback against Melb, and had a big influence on the result!

    (Hopefully a negative influence from half-fit players!)

    Pinky Spinky....

    Neale... give Aaron special instructions.... You can go anywhere on the ground as long as you have a KP player like Neitz between you and Goldspink... Be warned Aaron that if he gets so much as a sniff of you:

    First - He'll pay a free against you for waving to your Mum...

    Second - He'll pay fifty for having a "disrespectful look" on your face...

    Third - He'll report you for Grievous Bodily Harm after you try to pluck out his eyeballs with the blunt end of his whistle while screaming "HERE DARREN!!! LET ME IMPROVE YOUR EYESIGHT!!!!"

    • 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.
