Neeld trying to set a standard.

It's disappointing but it was unprofessional and dumb and we are trying to build something here.

    Well 2011 just continues to deliver the goods for us doesn't it.

    Sucks that the whole team has a tougher job now because of his stupidity... Maybe he should spend less time getting haircuts and more time developing some common sense.

    We'd better not lose to the Lions in Round 1!

    I just would have made January Hell for him myself on the Track....But i can see the point...Gives the Bears a genuine chance though, & i do not like gifting opponents anything.

    2011 a year to forget.

    So if he works his a*se off, trains the house down then has a couple of ripping pre season games we sit him out in round one for something 6 months earlier?

    He can get as many haircuts as he wants as long as he stays off the C2H6O and engages in a lot of high-velocity bipedal locomotion.

    Obviously Col has mucked up again. But I can not understand why we suspend him. This only penalises the team and us the supporters. yes fine him $5000 and his match payment for round 1. but for petes sake make him play. hopefully missing out on playing for Australia and all the media crap will be penalty enough. the herald sun calls for blood and we fall for it. punish Col by all means but dont punish the team or us the poor long suffering supporters.

    Because the alternative is sending the message that it's okay to play up and be as irresponsible as you like, so long as you're a good footy player.

    Not to mention the fact that this will teach him that his actions impact the club, not just him. He now has to face his team mates in the knowledge that he has impacted their chances in round one - I dare say any hope of joining the leadership group has well and truly evaporated. I only hope he uses this as a motivating factor as we saw Moloney do... Col must realise he is probably on his last chance.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
