    stardate -171753.42269152726

    Captain Archer reports a decaying radio broadcast of unspecified origin but believed to be that of relayed message sent from the once existant AFL headquarters timestamped to the era of the Republic of Oceania's reign pre that of the United Confederations. approx late 21st Century ( pre-stardate )

    the message is deteriorated but the words "the investigation into tanking is ongoing " can be made out.

    According to Starfleet data this refers to an ancient enquiry that apparently led to no conclusion and was eventually given away as a waste of time and resources.

    Take us to Warp No 1 !!

    Melbourne today announced the targetting of the Hawthorn list and, in an apparantly associated development, the creation of a steering committee to evaluate designs for a new guernsey

    However sources at the club said that Mark Robinsons article, referred to by himself

    in tonights 360 tv show,that Don Scott and Gary Ayres had been approached with a view to a joint coaching appointment at the club,were probably not accurate

    You are right the trading period is 7 hours old and there must be a thousand remours already.

    99% of which probably have no basis in fact.

    Everyone is guessing.

    Oh dear I think I will leave the country for a three week break

    Bombers have gone hard to get Goddard. Hope it upsets a few of their other players.

    From today's Age -

    The AFL said today the investigation into claims Melbourne tanked during Dean Bailey's tenure as coach are ongoing.

    AFL rules out priority picks this year

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. The AFL have said the investigation into alleged tanking claims concerning the Melbourne Football Club will take "as long as it takes to complete", they will interview "everyone and anyone" associated with the club regarding these allegations until they are satisfied before announcing any findings.

    Hence we know FA has already commenced and trade period starts next week. So "if" any findings or recommended sanctions are announced by the AFL during this period - you "would think" - not influence the trade and draft period for 2012. As it has already commenced.

    I have so much on my mind, I am getting a migraine and will surely not sleep until the rookie draft is over in December.

    Some of the issues I am dealing with are: will JV get through to the second round, will we get Dawes, Wellingham, Stevens, Caddy, Pedersen, Rodan, Jacobs, Butcher, Salopek, Byrnes, Young, etc, will we lose Martin, Rivers, Moloney, Morton, Petterd, Spencer, Cook, Davis, Bennell, Bate, Dunn, Sylvia etc, will we get anything for Jurrah, what compo will we get for Rivers, Moloney and Bate, will we trade for Hogan, will we draft Toumpas , Grundy, Kennedy, MacRae, Stringer, Mayes, Wines, Jaksch etc.

    This a nightmare..

    I think I am in the same nightmare.

    It will probably end up being 20% of the above.

    But what the hell would I know!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
