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.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
