    I'm hoping he's on the bus at the moment somewhere in Bali.

    Edit - less offensive.

    Normally only pops up during the season I thought.

    Don't worry, his wisdom will enlighten us all all too soon.

    Fixed.

    Not sure why it was offensive, happy for a PM to explain your views.

    I find people bringing Heroin into Australia far more offensive personally

    And even more offensive is the Media turning them into political heroes..

    Just my opinion....

    It's probably to confirm that the Melbourne Football Club must be on the right track, as amateur "journalists" like Damien Barrett aren't publicly sticking the boots in to our club. The fact that some have not noticed his poor reporting means that he is either sacked, not reporting on the MFC and focusing on some other topic, or that he is on extended leave in Indonesia.

    The OP rightfully has concerns about the person that seemed to stalk us for the past few years, especially now that it appears he has left without a trace. It is understandable that someone would be concerned for his welfare, yet at the same time have a sense of relief that the bins at the MFC are no longer being raided by an insignificant nothing.

    At last, something of substance, although I think you're probably being a bit generous to the OP.

    Pretty much where i was coming from, he has seemingly dropped off the face of the earth, just curious if anyone was aware as to why he wasn't posting articles on AFL.com anymore.

    You may think he is an idiot but the word is he get a lot if scoops.

    Mostly down the park while he walks his dog mind you.

    I can't fathom why anyone would bring up the subject of DB, let alone a discussion about the tool.

    I'm hoping his absence is permanent.

    Journo's are employed for one thing only.........................to write fairytales about happenings that don't exist in the real world. This sells daily rags apparently and in turn feeds these ravenous creatures along with their repugnant offspring. Occasionally there is a hint of actuality but this soon vanishes when truth is uncovered in their mind's own dungeons. It's a shame that much of the printed stuff that emits from their ramblings is not even suitable for mankind's most putrid daily ablutionary exercise. Ahh yes, journo's are not a flavour/odour that you could get comfortable with , nor be inclined to spend your hard earned sheckles upon nowadays.

    I'm a bit lost here. Has the Purple one been caught smuggling smack?

    I love it also.

    Because stupidity deserves and gets punished.

    Just like they said.

    Pity the fool who smuggles massive amounts of H through Asia?

    Nuh.

    I'm pretty liberal in my views generally,but the death penalty is a valid option for elected governments to apply.

    I would firmly disagree if this punishment was to be handed out by a Theocracy though.

    Sharia or Isis or whoever these rags are deserve it equally because I find them distasteful.

    They destroy antiquities several thousand years older than their religion.

    Antiquities that predate their camel worship.

    I can handle idiots murdering each other in the name of religion.

    But spare the friggin museums.

    Sorry to digress.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
