I'm an Ed fan but it's going to be interesting watching him get off this one.

King was blaming LDU for going low in the tackle.

I thought you were supposed to go low & tackle around the waste.

The fend off came as he was already going low & Ed saw it, just banged the elbow into his head.

For mine that's a minimum 3 weeks.

It's the whole "Petty had poor technique" BS.

and the commentary wags the MRO dog again.

    What was interesting was the commentators tried to avoid discussing the incident. No “he could be in trouble” or “the hit will be looked at” comments as we usually hear. They were trying to paint the hit as nothing to worry about. Will be interesting to see if this becomes another Cripps or Maynard ending.

    North pioneered Friday night footy. They should have had the game on a Friday night to celebrate 100 years. Thursday is a TV show event and not for the stadium crowds!!( Unless it’s a Crows or Pies home game of course).

    Pies with some real ordinary disposal so far, but we’ve been told they’re all elite.

    Yep, but they will win even when not on top of their game.

    Yes they do, they’re well drilled and have good systems and a level of understanding amongst the players.

    Why the hell are the cameras focusing so much on the father of one (two) players for their reaction, constantly?

    WHO CARES???? Most people watching don’t give a toss - time our broadcasters grow up and move on.

    They always play to advantage. If it be taps to players when they can’t win the ball, kicks in front of a player to run onto the ball.

    They have a symmetry all other teams do not have. Their vision and understanding of the game and their system is incredibly impressive

    Yeah, I noticed it again. Kills me each time I see him with the Pies. Come home, Nev!

    • 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.
