    The main victim in this heinous scenario is Chris Connolly, a loyal servant of the club whose punishment certainly doesn't fit the crime.

    I noticed on twitter that Jon Ralph is suggesting that Chris is a "monty" to be new Casey Scorpions Community Programs Manager. I like the idea but wonder if this could be done within the terms of his suspension given the Scorpions are affiliated with the MFC.

    They are a separate club. We have been told that several times and they play in the VFL not the AFL. He was suspended from the AFL.

    Interesting Patrick Smith is calling for Schwab's sacking as Bailey reported to Connolly who reported to him. He said this of Demetriou who was calling for greater governance standards in the AFL:

    "He could start by asking why Melbourne's chief executive, Cameron Schwab, has not resigned in the wake of another catastrophic episode in the club's history.

    Bailey reported to Connolly, who reported to Schwab. Whether Schwab knew that Connolly and Bailey were preparing sides to lose is irrelevant. They were answerable to him."

    As they are all answerable ultimately to the AFL, perhaps he should be asking why Demetriou hasn't tendered his resignation.

    He smells some blood in the water. But he and Caro are not big enough sharks.

    Patrick Smith has zero stature in AFL writing in a 'Sydney' paper read by very few, and Caro has herself knee deep in mud at the moment.

    Funny. I was thinking last night that maybe he could be a full-time Assistant Coach to Casey's Part-time Senior Coach. (That would be a novel first...! LOL)

    Not such a bad idea.

    He has (a month or two back), he thought Demetrio set up the conditions that led to tanking and should take the fall.

    A great article from Martin Flanagan in today's Age concerning Chris Connoley. Have had a bit to do with Chris and he is an unfortunate victim in this whole saga and doesn't deserve the stigma he has been landed with. He is a true Melbourne person who has the best intentions even though his execution may at times be misinterpreted. I think he deserves more support on this forum.

    Someone should tell Smith that the workers at News of the World also reported ultimately to Rupert Murdoch.

    Let's see how long he lasts at News Limited if he follows up the line of thinking he has over the need for CS to resign by calling for Murdoch's head.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
