I like how he used the words 'allegedly' twice in this report ...

''I still can't believe that anyone would be able to say that the training session you just saw was affected by some investigation into something which allegedly happened four years ago.''

Probe not on our radar, Neeld says

    ''I've got more information out of reading the back page of The Age than what I have talking to anyone here,'' he said.

    Nice quote, just needed the word unsubstantiated before information or substituted for "crap" !

    Note the difference in how The Age "quotes" Neeld (above) and the AFL does below- it changes the meaning altogether:

    "I'm no more informed than someone who buys The Age or the Herald Sun. That's where I get my information from," Neeld said.

    "I have learned more from reading the back page of the newspapers than anyone here.

    "I'm sure that information is spot on," he said with a smirk.

    Haha classic, Age you dodgy bastards!

    Stupid me thinking a quote in the Age was accurate!?

    'Selective' is a better description. They pick what they want to suit their story..... they do it with photos as well. 'Neeld is worried about tanking' and you can be sure there is an accompanying picture of a worried looking Neeld in deep discussion with CS..

    But he just turns a blind eye to the photo shown on another thread where Viney and Brown are obviously embroiled in the deep inner conflicts within the divided club without any shadow of doubt the result of years and years of tanking.

    "This is the most obvious and undeniable piece of hard evidence that tanking has occurred and the AFL must act immediately", Wilson wrote.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
