International Incident Narrowly Averted over Connolly Comments by Caroline Wholesome

The Melbourne Football Club is at the centre of an international scandal after the Australian Ambassador to Ireland, Bruce Davis was summonsed to a late night meeting in Dublin yesterday with Enda Kenny, the country's Prime Minister. Davis was given a dressing down over comments allegedly made three years ago (or was it four?) by former football operations manager Chris Connolly.

It was alleged in a newspaper report published in the ailing Melbourne broadsheet, The Ace, that Connolly told an ashen faced CEO, Cameron Schwab, after the club's third win in 2009 that "Jimmy's just fallen out of his hospital bed.'' He was referring to club President Stynes who had recently been diagnosed with cancer.

Kenny told Ambassador Davis that the comments constituted an insult to all Irishmen given Stynes' legendary status as a national hero. When Davis insisted that the comments were intended as a joke and had been completely misconstrued by a third rate hack journalist with a twisted agenda against Stynes' old club, PM Kenny flew into a rage and threatened to cut off diplomatic relations with Australia.

"I'm sick and tired of you Australians with your Irish jokes and you can stick that newspaper and its hack journos where the sun doesn't shine".

Davis responded that many Australians were doing exactly that these days.

Connolly was also under attack for allegedly telling a room full of MCG catering staff that their jobs were at stake if the club was to win more than four games in 2010 or perhaps that was 2012? He also threatened to take them to the vault at the Junction Oval where they could take their chances being urinatef on by the possums in the roof.

In late breaking news, according to sources who prefer to remain anonymous, AFL officials were last night questioning a member of Melbourne's half time Little League team of 2009. Henry Kishmentuchus, now aged 14, made the claim that the team coach told his players on several occasions during the season that the objective of the game was not to win but to "have fun".

This journalist does not accept the coach's comments. The young lad's evidence is clear proof of the culture of tanking that is so rampant within the Melbourne Football Club. It's time for McLardy, Schwab, Connolly, club captain Jordan Gysberts and the tea ladies to go, if not be indicted for treason for almost causing an international rift with a friendly nation. This matter will undoubtedly play itself out in the International Council for Human Rights.

 
 

Put a big smile on my face while trying to get my screaming 7 week old to bed.


I've just been told by a source who asked not to be named that Ms. Wilson has read this article. The source claims that when she began to read the piece, her eyes started rolling around uncontrollably and she was visibly joyful at the revelation that the Demons were apparently in deep sh1t for causing an international crisis. It's been alleged that she didn't realise that it was all a leg pull until she reached the part about Jordan Gysberts being captain whereupon witnesses claim under condition of anonymity that she remarked

"That can't be right. I'm sure Gysberts is co-captain with somebody. Is it Cale Morton?"

I hope 'The Ace' got this reportage right or it could get ugly (uglier?). I'm inclined to think large parts of it are made up or have been misrepresented though....oh well! No wonder people are fleeing to blogs in their search for facts and avoidance of opinion pieces in NEWSpapers.

 

thankyou for the laugh

well done


Nate Jones once said he 'could eat the arse out of a low flying duck'.

Should I call the RSPCA or PETA?

I also once heard Chris say he could 'murder a beer'.

Taskforce Purana being reformed as I type.

I also heard we have Saddams weeapons of mass destruction hidden in our "vault".


Good for the Irish PM for sticking up for Irishmen the world around, especially on whose great uncle stood side by side with Michael Collins.

What I'm looking for now is an inquiry into yellow journalism in the Australian sports media and why they so willfully seek to expose what one club did when so many others have done exactly the same thing and much worse?

Why did the AFL's investigation into Tony Liberatore's comments about the Kreuzer Cup last just 15 minutes?

Why did the AFL not investigate Richmond about Terry Wallace's comments about the way he coached his team against St. Kilda?

Collingwood 2005 anyone?

Lots more?

Let's also investigate the media's campaign against Melbourne and Schwab.

Who leaked?

How did the lie told about Mark Neeld and Aaron Davey get to see the light of day?

These things might have dragged us into war with an ally. We need answers.

Heard a rumour at the weekend that Caroline's been told by one of her usual reliable sources that the AFL has obtained groundbreaking DNA evidence that Melbourne tanked. She's planning a big scoop article in the Rage for Wednesday, in a bold attempt to displace Obama and the US election off the front page.

hahaaa nothing like a good old laugh to lighten the load.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
