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

    • 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.
