He's got company. Rex, Tony Shaw, Robert Walls, Malcolm Blight.............photo finish for worst.

What makes it worse is when he does bag MFC and Gerard Healy just sits there and lets him. For instance tonight on AW DWAYNE made a comment that it was a waste to even comment about Melbourne at the moment. A deathly silence from Gerard. What is Gerard's relationship with Melbourne? Does anyone know?

Talking to my mad Demon mate last night re Healy comment of how Chris Johnson had blossomed in the great Carlton environment ("Role Models R Us") compared to the lack of anything at Melbourne. My mate pointed out to me that in Inside Football this week, Johnson's total rating after 3 games is 11/30, putting him 18th on the list of Carlton players, which rating probably flatters him from what I've seen, and from what some Carlton supporters I know have whinged to me.

But why let facts get in the way of a good bagging of the Demons, eh, Healy and Russell?

Btw, my mate has rung up 3AW a couple of times to lock horns with Russell, under the name of John from Trafalgar, and has done the Demons proud with strongly put cogent arguments. Sure, doesn't change the minds of the broadcasters, but if you let garbage stand uncontested you can't complain if it gets currency.

Probably just [censored] we starting winning after he ditched us for Sydney.

Yes, pretty sure I've heard him before. Tell him to keep it up. Keep that 'air-head' accountable.

Does anyone believe Chris Johnson would get a game in our backline right now? The answer is no.

I can't stand Russell and have no doubt that he has no regard whatsoever for the MFC. He was a crap 50 game footballer that got lucky in the media through an untimely death. He's also a South Australian with a chip on his shoulder. Most South Australians don't like 10 clubs in Victoria, so it's only natural that our club would be on his radar. Unfortunately, we as a club give ammunition to pricks like Russell. Hopefully that's started to change.

That said, he didn't offend me with his commentary on Sunday. He was more balanced than I expected.

Quite right. As a Carlton supporter I've found his lack of objectivity in relation to my club somewhat sickening. As we lurched from one crisis to another, I heard Russell on

3AW say ''Don't you just love it ! ''

Gerard Healy to his credit, said ''No actually I don't.''

It would appear he has now dropped off us and zeroed in on your club. The bloke is a five star cretin.

He copped his right whack when he aligned himself with Port Adelaide against Geelong in the '07 GF.

The best way to shut the buffoon up is to win this week !!

To quote the great E.J. Whitten '' Stick it right up 'em'', and him too ;)

But Murray your club cheated for around 30 years so they kinda deserved all they got (Excluding the Priority Draft Picks i might add!)

30 years ? Ok if you like, but I don't think the other 15 clubs have been squeeky clean either.

But doesn't alter the fact the Russell is a cretin ! ;)

21,000 is higher than a lot of people thought in this game

And higher then the Swans can get for a Elimination Final on a saturday night. Dwayne Russell is an AFL puppet, loves all the interstate teams and hates the victorian teams, especially Melbourne for who knows what reason???

Bit of credit to him here.

Re: Port Adelaide.

Who'd have thought a 7 year old girl would've designed the best jumper they've ever had.

Got a chuckle. Though, at closer inspection, I'd have thought a 7 year old girl to be the most likely.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
