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!

    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.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
