I see on the Hun website this morning that Marc Murphy gave David Beckham a Carlton jumper.

Where were our blokes?

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to give him the jumper of the oldest club in the code.

The club that represents the capital city of this state.

The club that wrote the rules etc. etc.

    They were training at Visy Park.

    Off-season ... and still a few months to go.

    Where were our guys? Spewing their guts out on the Casey oval turf, where they should be. Didn't whatshisface try to give Barack Obama a Collingwood jumper? Or was that the Dalai Lama. Either way, those two guys couldn't give a toss about Collingwood or the AFL. It's all a silly waste of time, IMO. You don't see David Beckham giving Marc Murphy a Galaxy jersey, because no-one cares.

    Murphy: "So, ah, Dav--- may I call you--"

    Beckham: (glares at Murphy, wonders what time lunch is on)

    Murphy: "Um ... Mr Beckham ... sorry, Mr Beckham."

    Beckham: (looks at watch)

    Murphy: "Mr Beckham, in honour of this, the greatest day of my life-- apart from that one time when I met Muhammad Ali. Well, actually, I didn't actually get to meet him. I was in this restaurant at Crown and there was this big commotion at the door and I looked over and--"

    Beckham: (to his manager) "Cold, innit? I fought this fecking coun'ry was s'posed to be 'ot!"

    Murphy: "Sorry Mr Beckham. Anyway ... Mr Beckham? Mr Beckham? Mr Beckham, in honour of this, um, anyway, the Carlton football club would like to present you--"

    Beckham: (to his manager) "That blonde last night was a real goer. See if you can get 'er again. But tell the uvver one not to bovver."

    Murphy: "Mr Beckham?"

    Beckham: "Huh? Wossat mate?"

    Manager: (takes jumper) "Thank you. We are deeply touched. Come on, Dave. Grubs up."

    Beckham: (walks away, spits on ground) "About fecking time."

    Murphy: (runs after them) "Mr Beckham, sir, may I have an autogr-- Mr Beckham! Mr Beckham?"

    In two days time Beckham's dog will be sleeping on that jumper. Unless it's been used before then to wipe up his kids' spew.

    "Celebrity supporter" = whoop-de-do.

    They did just that...the club that wrote the salary cap rules, (at least prior the the fabrication of the two new artificial franchises).

    I thought that was our esteemed leader, JuLiar.

    It's a pointless gimmick, why does it matter?

    Absolutely agree. We are sweating the really small stuff if this is an issue to people.

    Yes negativity is alive and well at Melbourne and it's been around since the the early to mid seventies. But as George the 111 said all those years ago ' Be seen, Be seen, Be seen '.

    We gave Ana Ivanovic one.

    (and a jumper too etc..)

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
