What would have happened if it was Murphy? An in house fine. Lesson: don't do the wrong thing if you are dispensable.

Don't be too quick to dismiss going after him. Very good, solid, strong and tough fleet footed defender would add a whole lot to our defence. Said no one ever.

Well The Age says it was a teenaged girl

Will get pretty bad for him if shes under 18 , cops will get involved

Although he may have had no clue of her real age

Is this some sort of social sport at Carlton? Wasn't Dorotich purported to be involved in similar activities or was he stand alone?

Might not have been an "adult"

"It is believed there was an exchange of images with a teenage girl. It is understood her mother alerted the club on Monday and Carlton sacked Bootsma that night"

"The players were informed this morning and none raised any objection to Bootsma's contract being terminated."

No real surprise there.

Sounds like a shite bloke, considering his girlfriend is currently pregnant, but assuming the "teenage girl" receiving the Snapchat is of age, and you'd assume she is otherwise more would be made of it, then he could conceivably be (pardon the pun) a bit stiff, if the girl was consenting and the mother was snooping.

If that is the case, I don't think he's done anything wrong, save for it being morally reprehensible.

Agree with you however I suspect this is the final straw.

Appears that there have been a list of problems and this was the excuse the Blues needed.

Certainly not a rocket scientist!

He must have other significant issues because on the face of it this is an overreaction. MFC had significant intel on Nathan Carroll when they tried to sack him but it's very difficult.

It will be interesting to see what the players association do. This is the tip of the iceberg...............so to speak.

Young bloke who has flicked up but it old be nice if he wasn't subject to the cult of humiliation that the media appears to love at times. Family would be shattered.

Dorra was detected, I forget by whom, chokin' a chicken well-known to him in his car, IIRC.

Probably a good thing that SnapChat didn't exist in those days.

It's not an isolated incident - he is a recidivist and Carlscum were just looking for a excuse. An emphatic no from me.

Heard the press conference and he apparently missed appointments and was often late for training, they said this was the final straw and the players association were informed of it before he was sacked.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
