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.

Yawn. Colleague of yours no doubt.

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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
