This made my blood boil, when I read it this morning.

Carlton Hits Jackpot

How can it be allowed to happen? How can 1 organisation end up with so many poker machines & the State Government allow it to happen?

Must be great to have an important person in high places. An "important" person that robs machines from the likes of Richmond, the Bulldogs & now obtains more machines from the North Melbourne Giants & gives them to a scum side like Carlton. Must be great to have an important person like Bruce Mathieson - the pub king.

I hope Carlton choke this year & miss out on the 8.

Rant over.

    I believe he gave us a fantastic deal on the pokies too last year.

    So I guess you feel the same about the Demons...

    Oh, ok.

    Our deal was nothing like theirs. They got far more at a much cheaper price.

    Tend to agree .

    My quiet ambition is for the Demons to one day be pokie free. But it has to be quiet one for now since we rely on them as one of our revenue streams at the moment.

    I feel like it would also be a huge statement of financial security and confidence. A moment I'm looking forward to.

    Bruce Mathieson, board member of the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group (ALH) Limited and Board Member of the Carlton Football Rort. And the AFL could not see this coming???? A bit like the Visy deal for Judd!!!

    Give me a break. But as someone else said, this is old news. Bad news nonetheless, but old news

    It's not quite what it seems. Firstly, under legislation the maximum number of poker machines any club can have control over in Victoria is 420. Collingwood currently has the most of any AFL club (292) while North Melbourne have zero. Carlton has 60 but is expected to get machines at other venues plus the 30 from the North Melbourne Giants. However, the 30 from the Giants has to get council approval plus permission from the gambling regulator. There is no certainty that will happen.

    And before we get too sanctimonious, the MFC has 92 poker machines at Leighoak and a proposal to take control of 80 at The Bentleigh Club.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      The Demons are back on the road again for the third time this season when they take on the red hot ladder leaders the Sydney Swans at the SCG. Can the Demons take another big scalp? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
