Somethingthat has been on my mind for awhile and Jimmy has obviously picked up on it aswell.

Jimmy is basically saying that the AFL has created a situation where youngplayers are being asked to lie.

I would take it further. We have had all the lying going on over at Essendonlast year with coaches, and of course the business with Ricky Nixon and thecarry on of the 17 Year Old school girl.

The AFL is right to teach the players morals in regard to respect for women andracism, and also to have a hard line on illicit drugs,

BUT

they have totally lost all credibility when they then turn around and condone lying. They should rescind the rule straight away and name any players who have already signed. And it may be a bit late but they should reprimand and fine Essendon for bringing the game into disrepute for all the lying that went on over there. But of course they won't.

    Essendon did no wrong. Why should they tell anyone of their plans?

    it was only for the media.

    i do agree about GWS contracts though...they should be transparent for this year only.

    With the situation and GWS like it is, Jimma's correct, some players or managers will have to lie.

    Why not come out and make all contracts signed between GWS and anyone Null and Void if dated earlier than September 2011

    The powers that run our game do what they like in other areas why not in this one. Takes the pressure off every one

    We can all enjoy the year ! Go Dees !

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
