    Should we be worried?

    In a report on the training thread, it said that Dunn was contested by Hogan and Dunn beat him every time.

    I don't want to moz this kid but after seeing him play live I formed the view he is the closest thing I have seen to a young Carey. I hope with all my heart he signs a long term contract with us and plays a long career and injury free with us. If that happens he will go down as one of our greats.

    As much as he has some annoying traits, Dunn actually knuckled down and worked hard last season and produced some decent games in defence. Perhaps he's just one of those players who's seen the light and doesn't want his career to flicker and die like so many before him at this club in recent years.

    Worried about a near 10 year player beating a kid at pre season training in early December?

    No not really.

    Interesting article in the Hun today about the Bill Vlahos Betting Scheme that has gone belly ( now there is a surprise ).

    $180 million is said to have vanished.

    One of the big losers is said to be "Former Melbourne Demons President Mr Don Mclarty"

    My god what makes seemly intelligent people invest in these things.

    And we wonder my the MFC has floundered in recent years.

    A month or two ago on his radio show, Red Symons said he had once briefly met Tom Waterhouse. As part if the discussion, he told Tom he 'never bet on anything'.

    Tom replied 'you should come and work for me'.

    Hoping to get down to training on wednesday.

    I was going today Redleg as I was in the area but when the rain hit I bailed.

    I have seen enough poor ball handling to last me a lifetime in 2013.

    I plan to go Wednesday if it is dry.

    Might see you there if I am free.

    PS. Read my last post on the AFL Officials thread and post what you think.

    Wonder if CAC is regretting his move from footy to racing. He left the Tigers for BC3 Thoroughbreds which is headed by the same guy being questioned over the missing punters club millions.

    PS. BC3 is also apparently in default of payment to Inglis Thoroughbred Auctions, for the purchase of the $5m colt that will never race, but is recovering from a spider bite.

    PPS. CAC is a decent guy and in no way do I suggest he has done anything wrong.

    Yes I did Redleg and I agree that there are incontinences it our treatment on this issue.

    However IMO the AFL has always been thus and will be in the future.

    I never thought we would get a PP in 2013.

    We had just been done for tanking and had displayed over the previous 5 -6 years the worse management this century.

    The cry that the MFC had plenty of help to rise and completely messed it up and did not deserve a PP held some water IMO.

    I tend to think in the long term no PP this year might actually make us better.

    We have to get over the hand out mentality and get on with picking good players and building a good list.

    I think there is a lot more to come on this subject Redleg.

    It will be the subject for a very good story when all is revealed over the next couple of years.

    It is all starting to sound very dodgy. An assault and a car being torched down at Connewarre, unpaid bills for horses and payments to tax havens in Bermuda! Promises of 25% returns on punting? A sensible person wouldn't go near it unless you are interested in tax avoidance, money laundering or alternatively you are just plain stupid?

    In Don's case it could just be the latter.

    could be just plain greed

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
