    Interesting. Didn't move to Carlton after our tanking allegations?

    My ears pricked up at that too...

    I was expecting some form of investigation.

    I am curious myself what the hell we were doing, or whether we just let Bates do his own thing.

    Fine and another admonishment probably...

    Kick away AFL, we're all numb after this season anyway, and won't feel a thing!

    Oh God now we take centre stage do we? Surely we were the control group, taking the placebos! While people are rejoicing on the penalties to EFC it sets the limits for our potential punishment. We lose draft picks and we are stuffed.

    Given the idiots in charge of our club last year what chance we have any confidence in the governance of the medical staff and what they may have been up to!

    Will a $1 million fine kill the club? Can we afford another scandal? Tanking and performance enhancing in a short period of time. Wow. Oh I forget we were fined for not tanking.

    Can they ban Neeld retrospectively? Wasn't doing much coaching this season anyway.

    They can't do anything to us cause we are already paying a heavy price for our own self inflicted fart ups.

    They are considering giving us a pp what they are going to do ban us from the draft?

    The other thing this could make it harder for us to get a coach.

    I would think that we're the AFL to decide to kick us when we are way down at our lowest ever ebb, and having made huge moves in governance and personnel, our once great club would be stone dead and buried.

    We would certainly attract NO players of any value in the coming trading season - absolutely none.

    Certainly were an investigation to be ongoing at the start of season 2014, we would struggle to get 5,000 members. And I doubt if they would instigate an investigation were they not pretty sure they were onto something.

    a nothing investigation

    If there was anything of substance related to us it would have come out in the press by now

    Think we should have a chill out for a second. Would be surprised if we were taking blokes offsite , carrying out stuff like Essendon. Lets wait a second before the floggings begin.

    Suspend Mark Neeld.

    Most likely punishment involves Mark Neeld being reinstated as coach of MFC. A punishment for all involved.

    From memory it was only a couple of players and not the whole team like the dons.

    I know Craig's and trenners name was mentioned but can't remember much more than that.

    No doubt the media will remind us all.

    I've forgotten what we were supposed to have done. Did Jack Trengove get some cream rubbed on his foot or something?

    No surprise at all, will be interesting and potentially frightening to see what happened and where we stand.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
