Melodrama, melodrama.

Players named covered??

I'll say it again. The players were not alleged to have done anything wrong.

I think your safe from being mentioned on TV. And I am sure you have not done anything.

    I just have this gut feel that something is not right behind the scenes.

    The supposed clashes between Neeld and Todd Viney for example, what were they about?

    Really DeeZee? What exactly is making you feel this way hmmmm?

    This must be Dr. Who...

    No way! If it is any incarnation of the good doctor, it surely must be the sixth one. ;) (Whovians will get that joke).

    That Dank is the leaker is beyond dispute, but not the point.

    The point is the club's first statement was nothing more or less than weasel words designed to wriggle around the truth.

    John Howard could not have drafted anything better.

    It is a classic case of a partial truth designed to create an entirely false impression.

    OK I want to withdraw this earlier post of mine, but only in the sense that I am accusing the club of weasel words and taking lessons from John Howard.

    It may well have been an honest statement given the Friday April 19 revelation about Bates.

    John Howard remains the master of weasel words and I should not have doubted the old fella for a minute.

    Dank is clearly the leaker because ONLY HE would have access to all his texts: the ones that implicate Essendon and the ones that implicated Melbourne/Bates, and secondly because ONLY HE stands to gain from the content of the Melbourne messages all of which point to a legal supplements program.

    ergo, ipso facto and all the rest.

    And oversized shoes!

    I was laughing yesterday having read Old's post, because I visualised them running down the race and onto the ground in said clown suits. It's highly appropriate and best sums up this once proud, but now pathetic football club.

    I love the show but like every stereotype, there is more than a kernel of truth in that! Just remember.... it's not real!

    Was this a case of Dr. Bates running his own agenda....Knowing that all the supplememnts used were not illegal at that point.

    This would not excuse the Board completely, but i still cannot reason why The Board would mislead the AFL.

    They knew how serious this investigation was....we all saw and heard the press conferences.

    Once the dust settles. it is either Dr. Bates or the Board who must leave.

    Somebody lied (again) and this is just about my tipping point as was discussed last year.

    7 years of going backwards is not good for anyones health or self esteem.

    And now our coach says we are level with GW$...A True Cop Out

    3 years ago we were neck & Neck with Tiges & Kangas...

    Ever since Jimma was diagnosed with Cancer...This club has just made the wrong decisions. We could have got stronger, but that takes effort

    I know jims gone and god bless his soul, but the people he hired are the guys making the wrong decisions, probably wouldv happened regardless.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
