BUGGER THE FILTH.

They hogged all the media coverage. Because the Filth unfortunately sell newspapers. Hence Front and Back Page stuff - and in between (can you believe it!)

Our Mfc news was whilst still covered, it was pushed back well into the inside back pages. There is no doubt the Footy Show tonight will have big coverage with regards to the Filth.

But Gazza, buddy, Pal! It's time to push the Demons highlights tonight. Get Hutchy in on it too!

As you stated, this mob are going down the "Plughole!"

    The only real thing they will talk about Melbourne will be the salary cap issue that cropped up today.

    I'm sure a little mention will be said about the night but nothing major.

    salaray cap issue would have to be a furphy.

    With Neitz, White, Yze & Holland all off the list at years end and no-one else really up for a big pay rise based on performance the total player payments will come down dramatically next season with little effort.

    A few others on decent money are a chance to get the chop too i.e. Carrol and Sylvia.

    Plus Brown, Pickett, Ward and Bizzell all pulled the pin last year and they must have been getting paid in the higher bracket.

    After this year we should have only 3 players earning at or near $400k, Green, Bruce and Robbo. Next highest paid would be the likes of Davey, McLean & Miller. Surely that would be at least 7.5 % less than a team like Carlton, Hawthorn or St Kilda. Don't even mention Sydney or Brisbane

    Why this issue got so much coverage and will get more coverage if it happened to any other team.

    1) Collingwood have a lot of supporters.

    2) A lot of Collingwood supporters get their "news" from the Herald Sun.

    3) When looking at point 2), consider which team sponsors the "upper class" Melbourne Football Club.

    4) Those who don't follow Collingwood tend to hate Collingwood and like to read about their suffering.

    I hope Junior is in the higher bracket too. I know he's in the twilight of his career and he's just finalised a new one year deal, but he's also won the last two B&Fs.

    They've had their CEO and President on The Footy Show.

    I had no idea this was a one team town. I really hope this is the beginning of the end of this club. I'm sick of them thinking they own this town. They're victims of their own publicity. I mean, honestly.

    What really gets me is that there was already SUBSTANTIAL coverage of it BEFORE it was confirmed they lied.

    all we can do for now is beat them and turn up in high numbers when we play them. Patience. Oh & do remind them that the MFC helped Fund Victoria Park when it was first developed so they would have somewhere to play. We shall reclaim what is ours in time.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
