    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?

    Is he the "You're a wimp Wilson!" guy?

    Ha. Classic. Good call. He needs one of those mints to shut him up.

    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.

    That Chris Johnson is getting a game in Carlton's backline says more about their lack of quality defenders, than it does about our list.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
