    Blues have done well to wrest back momentum after Hawks looked like pulling away

    Has anyone else noticed that the Advantage rule has changed interpretation?

    it seems that simply all the players stopping and requesting clarity on the free is no longer a problem. As long as one of the team wants to take the advantage.

    5–10 Seconds later, “Play on”, No problem. 

    But, it seems, not all the time.

    Which is one of the lovely reasons why we love this game????

    The TV commentary is totally embarrassing. Barracking for Carlton. Hawthorn missed two set shots. Now Carlton are the heroes. And so good”.

    4 of Blues 5 goals from frees and if Acres kicked accurately would be 5 free goals from 6.

    It’s the worst ‘rule’ in the game. As there is zero consistency. 

    Walsh took the advantage for the Blues,  scored and it was brought back.

    Other times everyone stops and the ump yells play on. Can we create an actual rule around this aside from the ump does whatever?

    Umpires all of a sudden paying throwing the ball against Cripps.

    They’re paying every 5th throw, 3rd trip, and 4th high tackle.

    It is making it hard to keep up.

    After a strong start by the Storm Penrith coming back 14-10

    Indonesia's new very expensive coach may not last long.

    The Indonesian league was known for some vicious fighting between fans but things seem to have cooled down a little in recent years

    Redleg, you're kidding if you think the Blues have had the rub of the green.

    I was trying to work out how Carlton was ahead. I thought there might be something that we could employ against the Hawks.

    But if we are relying on free kicks in front of goals, well then, we’re [censored]-ed.

    You’re right. So I think that means that we will just play it like it is for the next 10 years

    It seems to be that you have to stop, in order for the ump to say, “play on”.

    I have a real problem, I as can’t stand either of them, but Carlton will always be my most disliked. Can’t stand the club.

    There you go! Just happened again with Newcombe but he was called back.

    • 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.
