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.

    • 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.
