Jon Ralph just tweeted Dees Media Mgr rushes from training - to prepare for tanking finding??

Ok, we'll maybe it may take a bit longer for an announcement? How long ago did he tweet that? Lets just get it over with!

AFL will hold a media conference at 2pm today with Gillon McLachlan and Andrew Demetriou, regarding the Melbourne FC investigation.

Incredible that after 7-8 months of this bullsh!t it's finally coming to head. Whether it's a conclusion or not......

I can't find that Tweet.

Mark Stevens.


Dee-day has arrived

yep agree, take the deal

And what would that be? The AFL can suck off. No investigation or punishment of those who went before us means no deal.

Who knows, this might be just the beginning?
 

Sometimes you gotta know when to make the deal.

In spite of all fairness, it may be the best outcome we can possibly get.

(Whilst I'd like to do it, I don't think dragging this through court will create the best outcome for the club)

Why court?

The next logical step is taking our case to the Commission. The pros and cons of this should, and probably have been, discussed by the board.

I suppose the fink has his writ all ready to go - LOL

Gee.....I hope so......

Stand Up MFC. Today is it...

You have my vote for what little it is worth

Didn't we reply to the report by the investigators??.......The commission then deliberated ......and the results will be known at 2.00pm today.....It is then up to the club to appeal to a court of law if they don't think the decision is fair.....I might be wrong on this.......


Why so?

I remembered you were supporting Fans B-Bobs views of wanting to accept the sanctions & handover our people to the executioner.

Now we are further along the track & the AFL have moderated, & the papers are turning towards our perspectives (interestingly since the AFL have moderated their views).

The 'Team Fan', who wanted us to shed blood within,,,, are now easing off, & 'Fan' suggests he knows who the louses are. If true, I can only assume Fan has an inside channel to the AFL contacts, or to some on our own board with the inside goss.

This would explain him playing the politics & also supporting Kero. a faction within?

Are you avoiding the question ? What is your opinion ? Did we try and lose matches in 2009 ? Come on. You can do it.

No

It's come to this then?

“ You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,

Know when to walk away, know when to run.

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table,

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

”

If this is really about integrity then the AFL must announce a new Inquiry on tanking across the entire league

Anything less will be a damning indictment on the credibility of the AFL

You know i'm right :lol:

You should put that to music Champ

I reckon you are on to a winner.

Good god no, please not Kenny... but it HAS come to this:

You know i'm right :lol: '

I will hold all bets for " yes we are conducting an investigation into Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood, WCE, and GWS'.

I am offering odds of 100 to 1

There is no way we will take this thing to court.

If we have negotiated this "reported" outcome then we will not be taking anything to court. We would have taken it on the chin like we always do. Sit Demon Sit ... Good Dog.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
