I used to swear at the football, but have been clean now since 20th August 2009. Coincidence that that particular day was Robbo's last game??

In all seriousness;

- The C word shouldn't be said at all

- The F word shouldn't be yelled out in general player/umpire bashing. Happy for it to be said to your mate next to you in general conversation, or to oneself out of utter frustration

- Racism is not negotiable (understand my view on the HG45?)

- Personal attacks such as the Milne/Rapist or Krakour/Jail, I'm just not sure where I stand. I have once made comments about Milne, and while I try not to, I can't be certain I wouldn't again.

Other than that, open slather I say. But, if a patron doesn't like it, and they mention it it an adult manner, I'm happy to pipe down.

    Your carrying on with this issue is beyond a joke.

    Obviously the moderating team didn't approve of your post, as it was subsequently removed. The issue has been dealt with and I've long, long since moved on. Perhaps you should as well?

    I tell you something HG, being accused as a racist in a public forum is not only inappropriate, it is totally incorrect and offensive. You brought that matter to the attention of the mods by commenting on my post, and they had to respond. I'd like to think that regardless of your current title, they would not be taking any sides in the matter. I had a number of people agree with me that my comments were in no way disrespectful, and your reaction was laughable. If you had any issue with the matter, or took personal offence to it, you could've easily sent me a PM to discuss my comments, and if I saw fit, would've happily re-worded my post.

    A simple apology would have been sufficient, however, that would require you admitting you were out of line, which I sadly think that you don't believ is the case.

    Now that I have had my say, I'm satisfied to move on. I'd like to think this post remains visible, and isn't deleted by the mods, because I think it is a fairly serious issue that shouldn't be swept under the carpet.

    Every poster on here should learn from things like this. While it is an open forum, which will always see disagreements and differences of opinions, and sometimes we get each other pretty fired up, we all have one thing in common, and that's that we are passionate about the great Melbourne Football Club. I honestly don't think any poster on here would say something deliberately to offend.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
