So Brock didn't play against them in their 11 loss run or if not, see, hear or read anything about them in that period. Therefore unlike any other AFL football follower, let alone player, he would not have known what Carlton was doing during that 3 months.

Even "blind Freddie " knew what they were doing and it was discussed in the media as well. Wasn't their something called the "Kreuzer Cup"?

I said there was an easy answer to question that was easy to deflect. I cant see why any of the 3 journalists would bother asking it.

You don't refrain from asking a question because of what the interviewee might say in response.

You ask the question and let the interviewee answer it themselves.

Its a pretty easy and obvious "get out of jail" that even Brock could navigate.

This sort of press should make the AFL think twice before deciding to clobber the Demons.

Yep, this is a breakthrough, I'd imagine Vlad called a special meeting to work out a strategy to deal with this sort of comment.

In the words of John McEnroe, you can't be serious.

The AFL cannot afford to have this go to court (which it will if they attempt to charge us) as it will open a can of worms that will make our 1,000 page report look like a Myer sale catalogue. Besides, look on the bright side...if you feel disinclined to go to the games for fear of being referred to as a tanker supporter, you can take that time to attend grammar classes.

Yeah and Bailey did it so well he got fired, all part of his grand plan I'm sure....

yeh master demon the AFL can't afford to go to court there broke well done bright spark

You're confusing monetary reasons for image viability reasons my friend. Shouldn't have to explain that to someone as obviously above the rest of us as you claim to be bright spark.

 

Tell me mate do you really think we did.nothing wrong

Well done master demon . I'm not the best speller I follow this club though it's dick heads like you that make me not want to.ya [censored]

Take a deep breath BH

Now no one wants to fling you.

I am no genius with Grammar and spelling

Can you just try a little harder

That way I will be able to understand you.

Use Google or Firefox for your browser they both have spell checks.

They make me look half decent.


I always loved watching the Dukes of Hazard. Boss Hog would connive and carry on only to be found out as having ulterior motives and ultimately make an arse of himself.

I agree BH we did

I hated it then and still do to this day

But it was no worse than 5 other teams during that period.

If we are penalised it will be a gross injustice.

Actually...the Kreuzer Cup was Brocky's top possession game for the year. You'd think he'd have noticed something.

Ultimately?


Whoa Guys lets not turn this into a slagging of BH because he has a less than a great understanding of grammar.

He has some legitimate comments

Slagging his grammar does not mean his argument is wrong.

Can we all take a breath.

We all support the same team I think

Go Dees

Master demon we have a deal mate.I love this footy club . But I'm worried real worried . At the end of the day we all want the same result .But we did what we did its it good

Fair enough OD, but he might have done better if he hadn't come out swinging at anything that moved (metaphorically).

We all love the club, but I seriously think your worries are unfounded.

  • 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.
