Well you would not know on foxtel as we have a bloody baseball game on into the 2oth inning stuck at 1-1. it better switch for the opening bounce or I'll be mighty [censored]!

Yep, me to mate. This thing better end or foxtel are going to get some nasty letters. For god sake if I miss the boys run through the banner there will be trouble. They have an American sport over-riding an Australian sport in Australia...something isn't right here

Yep, one will be from me. The footy is the primary reason I pay such an extortionate rate for pay TV. Not impressed at all.

Hope Foxtel looses the footy, or go back to a 24hr AFL station! :(

On good authority, (a mate who knows him) has suggested Newton is 90% sure to play as some one from the backline has not come up, possibly due to illness.

What utter nonsense this has turned out to be. It was utter rubbish the moment you heard it. Threads like this I can't stand.

The words 'on good authority' have no meaning, except that you can bet that it's no authority at all. That phrase is like the word 'rumours' that appeared so many times in that hopeless piece of 'journalism' in yesterday's Age about Fevola's gambling problem.

The first 3 words says it all....

Clearly a mate who does not know him well enough.

I actually believe the opening post, because Frawley certainly didn't look right today.

It's possible he was ill.

I agree too yet saw Juice and Rivers at half time juice looked proppy walking around

I would hate to see what type of bloke you are when we lose considering you posted after the game.

So I got it wrong...Boo freaking hoo.

Good authority was a guy who regularly plays golf with him and used to live with him.

Smile, we won and lose the big dirty black cloud that you seem to carry around.

And if you cant stand the threads....hmmmm....waiting.....hey I've got it....dont read them and only read the 100% true threads that pertain to facts and no opinions at all.

Fair enough, I was a bit extreme. I'm very happy after watching the game actually. I thought there was enough stuff along the lines of 'Newton will be brought in' yesterday, mostly illogical. So you have my apology. But I do think something that's just hearsay shouldn't be lumbered with the phrase 'on good authority'.

Just because it didn't occur doesn't mean the source wasn't decent.

Bailey himself could have said Newton was a 90% chance of playing - it doesn't mean he definitely will.

As for Frawley, I share your sentiments Jaded.

Just cause Newton was talking himself up to a friend does not make the info less accurate. It's not a big deal.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    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
