Never heard of Rod Curtis of the Age before and judging by this [censored] poor attempt at humour at the expense of the club, I doubt that we'll hear much more from him in the future. If you're looking for laughs or even a single giggle - don't look here!

If one thing's for sure, the [censored]-poor attempt at humour will KEEP him employed. Or at least picking faults at EVERY opportunity will always get a hack journalist a gig...

Paul Gardiner was right when we spoke about the media in his farewell speech. THEY are the biggest joke in the modern game. Not the MFC. And the funniest thing is, EVERYONE laughs AT them... And they have no idea.

Do you even care anymore SP? Seriously, this sort of garbage is par for the course when the club is down. There is nothing more certain than when a team is coughing blood onto the canvas, some [censored] will come along and kick it. Says a lot more about the [censored] than the poor bastard that is being kicked.

Consider....he would have nothing to write about if we as a club werent providing his material !!! No doubt about it..the MFC is cementing itself again as the butt of humour.

have you seen the photo in the physical edition of the Aged that accompanies this article? David Neitz in a fohawk and bling, standing next to Mr T. Just when I didnt think we could sink any lower...

I liked it and the photo with Neitz is great.

Some people here really need to harden the you-know-what up.

I rarely see or hear Collingwood supporters whinge so much about being referred to as "filth" or for having dole jokes made up about them.

I actually thought that the article was funny...and pretty much spot on.

There are more ignorant posters around here than I'd realised.

Bagging Rod Curtis? Never heard of him?

"No I don't read the Age, it's a bit big and serious." Tools.

Learn to read or at least Google.

I'd guess that many people who read The Age haven't heard of Rod Curtis - he's not a big name there.

Furthermore, it's ironic that you're taking pot shots at people for being ignorant because they don't know about a sports reporter.

Important stuff, the sports section in the paper!

I'm just happy we're getting some exposure with this commercial (assuming it goes to air), regardless of how silly it is.

Any publicity is good publicity, or so they say.

The ad appears to be no sillier than the Totota ads so it's stupid of the journo in question to suggest that it makes the MFC some sort of a laughing stock. It does make the journo a bit of joke though.

Gee, there are some precious little snowflakes around here.

If ever a club was ripe for a pot shot or two, it's us right now. Add to that the fortuitous timing of Mr T being in town and you've got some rolled gold right there. I reckon any self-respecting journalist would be remiss if they DIDN'T have a bit of a dig at us and involve the fool-pitier himself.

God knows I would have.

And for those who are too stubborn to Google Rod Curtis, he's the night sports editor of The Age. Hardly a "budding hack journo".

Yawn.

Wish I could have that minute back.

:lol: Now that's funny.

Rod Curtis. Now that name won't be remembered when the club turns around and lifts aloft the Premieship Cup.

I'm flattered that you think my prose is of sufficient quality to write for The Age. But you're not even close, snowflake.

Never said that, so save me the sob story.

Perhaps Charles Happell and Rob Curtis were separated at birth

Amen to that Jaded......

The article was silly, but so what all in a good cause!!!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
