AFL Officials in Trouble

A bit glib and simplistic Rhino. The press push this notion of freedom to make sales - honesty in reporting seems to me to run a distant second.

try dead last...... just ahead of the retraction occasionally

Its been very successful in North Korea, China and many of the Middle East's *cough* people's republics.

Nothing more simplistic than a wide generalisation.

Note: Do accept Murdoch's rags brings the notion in a significant disrepute.

So true BBO. News Ltd runs a plethora of agendas at any one time plus the odd wire tap.

and Fairfax is squeaky clean.... come on

all as bad as each other.... all have their barrows

Not denying that Beezlebub. I just think Rupert is a little more relentless.

It's curious though. The Age has gone to [censored]. The Sun always was [censored]. Yet some of the best op ed stuff and opinion articles are to be found in The Australian.

The Age has a declining readership and they are desperately hanging on to those that they have.

I doubt they will last any more than a few more years, if that.

So if it's in the fairfax papers we can accept it as fact; is that what you're saying?

Even Premier Geoff Shaw calls it The Herald Scum.

Rupert has done for quality journalism what Pol Pot did for nation building.

I guess what I'm saying Andy Bolt, is that you may wish to read the comment that I made proceeding the initial post. And then Andy, but only then, can you make a Herald Sun like retraction buried in the classifieds.

What an idiotic comment to make.

Fact is I don't read the HUN and haven't for years but I bet you do.

Ah, check mate to you again Robbie F. I guess it was your strident attack on Fairfax when I mentioned News Ltd that lead to me to the conclusion that you were a right wing nutter. I see now that you are not right wing.

The Fairfax papers are for the leftwing loonies so I guess you don't read them, do you? I'm sure that any fair minded Labor supporter would abhor the way the Fairfax Papers have degenerated in to irrelevance.

Why would someone that supports the right be a nutter? Is it because they have a different view to you?

What gets me about this is that Essendon has so far managed its playing group well in the circumstances. Despite seemingly being treated with utter contempt by their clubs on terms of the apparent concealment of the drugs they were injected with, there's been no player revolt and they seem to be unified and focussed on succeeding.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens to team morale when the infraction notices start issuing.

Robbie, I'm trying to meet your misplaced anger with good humor. Perhaps reread the posts and I think it's fair to say that you have jumped the gun....as you gun toting, inbred, Menzies loving types are oft to do. I accept your apology. Say no more.

Whispering, I just don't think those infraction notices are coming.

The sun will rise in the east tomorrow just as the infraction notices will come one day soon. They are unstoppable.

I wish I had your optimism Whisper. It is a long time after the event. Why the confidence?

You're in top form tonight RTG. Holidays drawing closer!

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
