The second I saw Chandler being showered with milk on tv (by Clarry of course, who I would totally expect such stupidity from) I though "no, that's not right." I've had those thoughts many times over the years and not seen them be righted. We're not letting those stupid things slip by these days, which is so good to see.

Its a precious world where splashing players with Gatorade is okay but milk not okay. The Front Bar lampooned it last night going through an array of alternatives to milk. That isn't any recommendation - it was pretty lame but what's the issue - is milk a non renewable? Did we fail to recognise milk's history of oppression and dispossession? Is milk patriarchal? Teams start games now with a joke - is that stupidity? Should we lighten up and avoid full cream milk?

    3 issues are probably relevant to note.

    It wasn't just milk, it was specially prepared protein smoothies, made for the players by someone whose job it was to do that, to aid recovery or whatever. Throwing it around was insulting to that person.

    It is much harder to clean from the floor, which according to Tracc is the job of the property staff.

    It was a bit embarrassing to do it to a young player.

    Interestingly all current and former players asked about Tracc's actions in helping to clean it off, said he did the right thing. They all agreed he showed leadership and concern about teammates and staff and  that it was another one percenter and that they all counted in the race to be the best.

    PS. Chandler probably wasn't too concerned, but I bet he and other young players watching, were happy that Tracc showed concern for a young teammate. Another small step in building a good culture.

    Quite right we wouldn't want the players going off the rails with their revelry.

    Id personally give up a milk rinse one percenter for a tackle, shepherd or smother.

    Understand what you are saying, but these days certain things have changed.

    For example, a few years ago who would have cared less about a player squeezing a team mates bum?

    If behaviour can be improved, to the team's benefit, then it is a positive. It may not be as obvious as a long goal on the field, or a screamer over the pack, but it all contributes to a strong, winning, good team culture.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
