I'd listen to Gerard Whateley over just about anyone else.

What would you get if you bred Damien Barrett and Susan Boyle? Craig Hutchinson...

an unmade bed that can sing. I still stand by the time Liam Pickering told Hutchy to his face live on SEN that he always looked like an "unmade bed", as being the funniest thing i have ever heard on

The funniest thing is if it was a norf player he would have been up in arms,

as someone said earlier the Roos look the team most likely to move or merge and he will knock the mfc as much as he can because we got bailed out and he knows North won't.

Dwayne Russell and Damien Barrett to repeatedly kick each other in the nuts.

The two biggest hacks in footy commentary and journalism respectively. I actually find it amazingly frustrating that a dweeb like Barrett gets paid to talk and write footy when he knows far less about the game than the average punter.

I disliked Barretts tweet that the Tribunal got it 100% right

However....

If you re-read Barretts article - he was expressing thoughts that a lot of us thought. That the MRP and Tribunal doesn't care about actions - only the outcomes. The tribunal rules thats if someone gets injured then someone must pay. Lots thought here that the appeal board wouldn't overturn the decision. What I disliked about the article is he didn't then reach the obvious conclusion that the philosophy is wrong - the philosophy should be judge the action then if guilty take into account the outcome.

Last night the appeals board took a step away from outcome based decision making.

read the worms sliding doors article on the doggies, the bloke thinks he has a coach, it's hilarious how little idea he has, thinks they didn't attack enough...

also expressed his opinion on the MRP in our section without mentioning anything about the game.

Schimma, Henwood, Dunne - sold out by the "system". On principle, they have to resign. "People power" now runs AFL judicial process

hahahaa the purple headed warrior has NO idea about system.

the system is designed so that clubs can appeal. thats the whole point!

does he think that the county court judges have to resign every time an appeal goes to the supreme court and wins?

His simplistic view that Lynch was injured therefore Viney must go is actually against what the rule is. If it was a collision that was out of his control and he was forced to protect himself then it's not going against the rule. It's in fact working exactly as it should.

If he deliberately bumps it's a different story.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
