If you use a g instead of an f.

Is it the same as using a b instead of a c.

Well Gryan Miers’ parents clearly think it’s gine to swap out a B for a G.

    OK, so you're sure Ainsworth wasn't just being given the green light to proceed to the new mark (with 50 meters )to take his kick. Often players do that so as to register the score quickly and therefore avoid a reversal from any infringement in the melee.

    Who can be sure of anything with these things now?

    A good job creation opportunity for the AFL would be to employ people to do umpiring transcripts. What was paid, what was said, what happened after etc. It would be a mix of Champion Data stats research and interrogation.

    What a mess!! It was a free kick to Ainsworth … no mark … no 50 metres… May also got the ball and Ainsworth so no report

    But how did May get fined for being smashed by 2 Suns cowardly bastards …

    Or to reverse the kick in the first place to give it to May for being smacked by 2 suns players

    Loved the "Petty had poor technique"when he got concussed rubbish by the media

    It's along the same vibe as "Brayshaw deviated his line into ftards shoulder" kinda logic.

    Also along the line of the suggestion on Twitter that when Langford was elbowed in the head by the umpire, that he should be fined for contact with an umpire.

    Would it really surprise anyone if that happened? Harvey himself said he’d pay the fine because “what choice would I have?” It’s sad to see the breaking of a kid’s spirit right before your eyes. 😢

    Was reading about umpire contact just before;

    It comes after a large increase in the number of incidents and charges for umpire contact in the past three years. In 2023, there were 20 charges for umpire contact across the season. Last year that increased to 56 charges, while there have been 60 charges already this season.

    Changed rules can now see repeat offenders heading to the tribunal.

    But surely Harvey’s case is different in that the umpire hit him - accidentally of course - and not the other way around.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
