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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
