How did a 30-second aside in a lengthy match committee meeting morph into a specific meeting held by the Melbourne Football Club in 2009 supposedly as a call-to-arms to its football department to lose

This is fantastic and surely a sign of better things for the Melbourne Football Club. Forget the sheer ignorance about the meaning of the word "troll". For the first time in my living memory, Demon fa

Despite Wilson's assurances that the outcome of the tanking fiasco would be known by Friday and her revelations of the details of that outcome, it's Sunday morning and we're none the wiser. Wilson ha

Wilson has just demanded that CS resign over the high petrol prices in Melbourne. She said, " he can't escape this time, my sources tell me that he drives a car ".

She has also told Garry Lyon that he has no credibility to comment as he also drives cars.

I think you are getting her confused with the greens Redleg.

I went to a cafe after work today for a quick coffee and picked up a copy of the business and sports section of the Age. It's been a while since I've actually read anything other than an article on the on line Age edition (cancelled my subscription for reasons other than their football coverage).

Strangely enough, I couldn't find Wilson's latest piece which I saw last night on their website.

Did they pull it?

If they did, it's at least a good sign that they're finally introducing some strict quality control at the Age.

Our favourite girl has been bumped from Footy Classified this week in favour of Jeff Kennett.

Gotta sting....

Awesome.

Never thought I would ever see the day when I would welcome that gasbag on a footy programme but if it means I don't have to suffer the pompous Wilson this week, I'm happy to cop him.

Awesome.

Any idea why? Apart from the fact that she knows nothing about footy. She could get bumped for Dame Edna and it would be a huge step up in footy knowledge.

A gossip columnist as 'chief football writer' - astonishing.

That is like being given Brussels sprouts for dinner, complaining about it and then being handed a turd sandwich instead. I disagree with pretty much everything Kennett says about football.

Me too, and no doubt he'll have a crack at us.

But I'm enjoying the sting Caro must be feeling...

No official reason. Just heard it via Footy Show facebook page.

Didn't Hutchy 'tweet' after last weeks show that she'd chucked a 'hissy fit' and threatened to not do the next show? This was after Gazza and her continued the 'verbals' post show.

They should ditch her anyway. She adds nothing but muckraking rubbish that is mostly made up. If I watch it, it will be on delay so that I can mute and FF her part in the show. Excluding adverts this will allow me to watch the show in about 8 minutes.

Whereas she's alright because she gets around on a broomstick

HaHa, Nah, he must have meant a 'hisy fit', surely. shes too aggressive to be a lady. and too narrow minded to be a bloke.

Unless I'm mistaken she looks lost somewhere else.

Was probably Hutchy being mischevious but I want to believe that version - therefore I will. Hissy fit it is - forget the overseas stuff.

Time for us to embellish ...

    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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
