Come off it mate. I know you want to sound tough, but if you think that sort of thing is acceptable at a public concert you're just flat out wrong.

Not sure what you are getting at Stuie... I want to sound tough? Couldn't be further from the truth. I suggest you re-read what I wrote and you will then realise that I was saying that what was caught on that video showed very little more than a bit of a wrestle and that you do see worse things on the field of play. The post I was responding to was making it out to be some sort of major altercation in which lives were at risk.

And just for the record, I do not condone violence of any kind and at any venue.

Fair enough. But it's not on the field of play is it? It's at a public event with TOTALLY different standards.

Fair enough... don't know how old you are Stuie, but if you ever attended music events such as the Sunbury festivals, you would have felt safer on a footy field...and some of the worst offenders were the so-called security people (company run by a Bob Jones if memory serves).

Anyway, Robinson got his comeuppance and will hopefully think twice the next time (although somehow I doubt it).

Been to a stack, worked at a few, but never country one's, and by the sounds of it that's a good thing!

By all accounts Sunbury could be terrifying. Off topic - Sunbury 73 by Chris Wilson one of the great underrated songs. Sorry

I only went to the first Sunbury 3 day festival and it was, err, interesting. Big Chris Wilson fan all the way back to his Harem Scarem days...voice of an any and the harp from hell.

One of my old bestmates trained at/with Bob Jones, & sparred with his pretty boy champ, who went on to security for Linda Ronstadt I think it was?

In more recent times, Stan ran the Stkilda Inn, up til about 4 or 5 yrs back, & cleared out the Maori's who were bullying the other patrons.

He then renovated & opened the nightclub, before the building was sold.

Then he was moved out, before the current owner altered the building & reopened the bar.

If you ever get the chance, have a read of Bob Jones' biography, "Let the Good Times Roll". Tells of his time looking after all the big acts like the Stones, Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Joe Cocker. Definitely enjoys puffing out his chest but man does that guy have some stories..if you're into the whole drugs, sex & rock n roll...and brutal violence.

Slapped over the head with a cut1/2 bunch of Celery.

Some of still remember the bogan's king hit on Rohan Bail at Casey in 2009. Added to his 'bruise free' comments Id love to see him eating dirt when he plays the Dees this year, Hopefully there is now enough mongrel in our side to give him his come uppance...

He struggles to think once.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
