    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???

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
