Collingwood has said it will use its entire list of players in the NAB Cup. That is clearly an admission that winning is not the be all and end all. I await the 6 month AFL investigation or an AFL statement that it is fine to do that and that the MFC Inquisition is over without any charges being laid.

    No reason this shouldn't be used if this ends up in court, just makes the grey area with this more and more obvious.

    List management is allowed.

    Fumbling in the last 3 minutes is not,

    Neither is NOT playing a 17yo Jack Watts more in his first year

    Neither is putting Matthew Bate in the midfield, Miller in the fwd line or PJohnston in defence or even have Cale Morton obliterate Adam Goodes as a tagger.

    Unlike Paul Roos before him, Buckley will not claim he was joking.

    He doesn't have to because the AFL won't take on a power house like Collingwood and the AFL let's Sydney clubs do as they wish.

    Interesting question for the AGM on wednesday could be to ask how much have we budgeted for or put aside to fight the Tanking case in Court, if it becomes necessary.

    Sure the answer would be that it is a matter that won't be discussed at the AGM.

    Then again with a bit of luck, it could be a redundant question by wednesday evening.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
