That really is an ordinary response. I'd take it up with the Bulldogs, the MFC since they oprate Deesbet, the AFL sincethey seem to be sanctioned or listening to Jon Faine, he seems to like a bit of a crusade against sportsbetting and has no need to worry about station sponsors. My link.

Maybe even your Federal MP, not sure if the new legislation would cover the handing out of promotion material.

I got a reply for the women who was supervising them. She was from Betezy

Basically she said that I was a liar, that my children and wife were also liars, that I had no credibility, that I was agressive and pretty much made up the whole story.

Very disappointing.... Wife in tears...... Oh well, them's the breaks.

Typical response.

I am glad you've pointed this out though.

It's something I'll watch carefully when I see them outside the ground and I'll give them a serious piece of my mind if I see it happen again.

And if they are, all it would take is a short video on an iPhone to put them in a lot of hot water.

Today Tonight or ACA would have a field day with it.

That's the way to do it. Film them on your mobile phone and down load it....solid evidence with not a leg to stand on.

Then contact talk back Radio and TV networks. Betting is a major problem the AFL do not want to know about yet.

Please don't let this one go ucanchoose. It is an absolutely terrible situation, but even worse given the response from them, and even worse seeing the companies own code of conduct. Something needs to happen about all this gambling advertising, it is so incredibly wrong on every level.

OK. I received a call this morning from a lovely lady at the Neil Mitchell program. Had a long chat with her. They are going to ring me at 9am to be on the program.

Fantastic. I'd listen in, but I'll be at work.

Just heard Dwayne Russel on 3AW ask a (clearly) young tallback caller if he was old enough to give him a beer prize, when the boy said no the idiot then offered him a betting voucher. Ok so made in jest (I hope) but seriously, what an idiot. Maybe he can write a kids book about how fun gambling is.

Good. I had my 3 minutes of fame. They even put a snippet on their news.

The matter is now under investigation by the appropriate authorities - that's about all that I can say about it.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
