Can't deny there are plenty of rumours flying around now about Buddy.

Dunno about anyone else but he just stuffed my Dreamteam semifinal to boot!

    Sorry I must have missed all this. What's the insinuation about Buddy, RR?

    This doesn't look good maybe they have put buddy on ice till finals or buddy took it upon himself to do it

    Seems almost as tho he has lost his license to play drive, to get to the line?

    Stuffed my super coach team.

    Maybe the rumours have merit. If he mysteriously doesn't reappear then I will keeping my ears to the ground.

    In all seriousness if there has been 3 strikes shouldn't it be an immediate suspension? Would for arguments sake Matthew Bate (Sorry Bater) get the same treatment with 3 strikes as one of the games superstars? Or am I in dreamland where everyone is equal.

    I know it is speculative, but hell if the rumours turn out to be true then the AFL has a big problem by not coming out and saying what is what!!

    Bringing the game into disrepute if they just leave it under the covers.

    Dear Buddy ,

    Please remember when you were a child and the mighty Demons were your heros.

    Whatever you have done wrong- we forgive you.

    Come home son.

    We still love you.

    If nothing else it's a superb rumour to wind up my Hawk mate with. He obliges by biting every time.

    Had bench cover for him in Dream Team. Already through to the Prelim in all my Supercoach leagues so the donut there doesn't matter much.

    If true he'll be back soon.. They wouldn't want to interfere too heavily with the finals campaign.

    Like the cogs in your gearbox, they're all working but you cant see them.

    I originally heard this rumour about 2 years ago, it's now just going round and round in circles again. I reckon it is rubbish and I'm one who loves a good conspiracy theory.

    Would be the biggest non-football story in AFL hsitory if true. Bigger than Cousins. Truly a nightmare for the AFL.

    We are talking about him plagiarising Guns 'n' Roses lyrics on his fashion label t-shirts aren't we?

    Stealing from Axl Rose.. that is just plain wrong. He'll go Eddie McG on his ass.

    'Designing' a line of t-shirts - nothing screams "I've got nothing to do in my spare time" more than this.

    HYPOTHETICAL:

    Choice 1: Confront a huge problem with a high profile player in a successful club,

    or

    Choice 2: Drip feed the media fuel for a fire involving a struggling club to generate massive diversionary coverage.

    Which is easier?

    Which is right?

    Am I paranoid?

    Am I right?

    No but he should be sent to Abu Ghraib for that atrocity.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
