It figures. Culture of tanking. Judd's chicken wing. Brocky and his big mouth and MM and Travis (+ old man) to come.

Still, the above is a bit tongue in cheek and the story's just another beat up.

I don't have much respect for the media at the moment apart from the people responsible for this article which probably captures our own paranoia about the club as encapsulated by the thread title -

Dees survive 24-hour period without scandal engulfing club

Footy show strikes again. 3 pages in and we are all disappointed.

I really do wonder how "journalists" like this break these "stories" with a straight face. Big build up, serious expression like they're delivering the news about 9/11. Christ almighty. I'd look at myself in the mirror every day and go, "how did I become this?"

MM = Dennis Pagan.

Reckon it'll be the new age coaches from now on. Longmire, Clarko, Lyon, Sanderson, Buckley, Hardwick. Sanderson, Scott(s)

Malthouse/Sheedy will be surpassed like Barassi/Hafey/Jeans before them.

Well from what I saw I think the news was that the carlton assistants have got lawyers onto Carlton about there terminated contracts. No big deal from our point of view. Oh and also in Christi malthouses new book there is one interesting chapter you cant miss. Anyway it wasnt us and thats the main thing.

.... DB is 'holding onto a story'

Heck even hutchy could figure that out some of our players are not happy, I'll admit DB ain't much higher up the food chain, but its not THAT exciting.

I think you might have your food chains back to front. I think Damien Barrett is an employee of Crocmedia, Craig Hutchison's media company. Which makes Hucthy Barrett's boss.

Too many mates who are supporters, and Bombers supporters are the most ignorant and arrogant there is.

2000 Grand Final didn't help either...

So much truth and worth posting again.

Anyhow, let's hope Eddie's story this Wednesday that is supposed to "blow the footy world apart" is a bit more interesting than this garbage.

"Sacked asst coaches looking at their legal options" - stop the presses!!

Eddie can certainly drum up a bit of interest, he'll have half of Australia watching Wednesday night.

Theres not really many things that would 'blow the football world apart' either.

He seems to think its his biggest story in 30 years of being a journo!

It's easy Nasher.

They don't have reflections.

From what I heard it's about a superstar player coming out of closet, the other rumour is a scandal that would take all three premierships away from Brisbane.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
