It's disappointing that we haven't seen Rihannas Labia come out and make a statement about this.

If she stands behind Brown on this then I refuse to look at her speeches again.

Two comments.

1. Brown's actions put Roos's stance on violence into very sharp perspective.

2.,DHS like Brown need to spend time with people like the mother mentioned in The Age today, whose son was killed by a punch from a stranger. I'll post a link when I get a chance.

Reporters can turn up on your door step but bikies cannot. What's the difference?

Just tweeted:

"The @GoldCoastSuns have called a media conference for 3.30pm AEDT (2.30pm Queensland time)"

Bye bye Campbell!

Funny, I was watching an old YouTube video of Mal Brown from the 70s on a panel discussing things SANFL.

The topic was getting hit behind play, and Mal was asked if he'd be happy for his son to be playing football in a league officiated in the way he was campaigning for (since he loved belting blokes behind play).

Mal's response?

"I'd tell my son to hit them first."

Hilarious.

I know this won't be a popular view but if someone shaped up to me and I felt that he was about to hit me I wouldn't be waiting for him it to happen. Particularly if he was bigger.

Brown is a thug, but if the circumstances reported are correct he would be stiff to be sacked.


Apparently May didnt see the punch coming. Don't you think that an elder of the club should do what he can do diffuse a situation not throw punches ?

Well according to their investigation, May had a verbal altercation with Gibson who was attempting to disuade May from going into the club in order to photograph Rihanon, Campbell stepped in, May shaped up to Campbell and Campbell cracked him with two rapid punches. May will be getting penalised as well, but not sacked.

There must be more to it and the Herald Sun may be reporting it poorly. But if it was proved that May shaped up and Brown had the belief that he was about to be struck, no court would convict him.

They must be just so pleased that they spent money to employ this [censored] as a rôle model for their young boys. Still, probably not their money.

PS: the censors are getting a bit precious - I was referring to a person who tosses

Is it reasonable force to break a mans jaw because he shapes up to you? I know May is physically bigger but they are both big boys and Brown is older and probably has more boxing training. No criminal court would probably be interested but what about a civil court?

But the issue here is not whether or not May got what he deserved. It's that it happened. Brown's choices were not hit or get hit. He had a third option to walk or run away and call someone else to make sure May got back in bed safe and with his jaw intact.

  • 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.

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
