If that team continues to win what happens. I've started my own private boycott already.

There must be hundreds of paid off people and others who know.

The AFL Tribunal hearing into the Essendon doping scandal is over and the decision has gone in favour of the 34 accused players. It appears the full decision of the AFL

Sorry but rubbish. ASADA have been subject to a lengthy and extremely expensive PR campaign designed amoungst other things to discredit it and get it to back off. And when it didn't, they have arrange

I know a number of you have expressed, both here and privately by email to me, doubts about my contention that WADA will get Essendon and Hird in the end. I thought it might be useful if I set out a b

Just a post to keep upcoming BRANDZAC day top of mind!

A time to reflect on and celebrate the selfless exploits of PVT J. Watson No Aod9604. . . Heroic member of Bomber platoon.

"Because the truth of the Gallipoli experience was probably not "eating great tucker, watching historic footage on huge screens, seeing iconic entertainers live on stage and camping in authentic swags" ... or it might have been if you could add in the constant possibility of lingering and painful death, the stench of [censored] and bloated bodies, the gibbering fear in the boy beside you stinking with his own nervous urine and sweat."

Not sure this is necessary.

Devoting equal space to those who cherish the "Essendon" myth!

A small point but he said he was injected with AOD9604. ASADA have never pursued that drug as being illegal.. Might be some truth to the EFC line that they have an email from ASADA saying it was OK

That's what he said but where is the proof to support that, isn't he obliged to know. And why do Essendon have that email, but no record of the actual injection regime?????

I don't like Anzac Day - i reckon Leunig has it pretty well covered. Hate it all, especially when you see Abbott scratching around for a war, to shore up his flagging popularity among the moron electorate. So if Essendon tarnish that great piece of culture I don't much mind.

But they are destroying sport.

Immunity, by means of denials and barefaced rejection of responsibility, has been accepted at AFL level - if ASADA and WADA concede or agree, it'll be "game over" in more ways than one. What will we do - have an annual remembrance day for when sport used to be part of Australian culture? For when we used to stand before the world and show how we Australians play the game?

Robbie..I have deep respect for Anzac Day.. we all should ( for mine ) but such commercialisations and hijacking by orgs like the AFL etc who then make a mockery of what heroism and selflessness is about trivialise the sanctity of it. To allow Drugdon to be the face is scandalous, repulsive and highly disrespectful . Im truly surprised the RSL hasnt kicked up a bit of a fuss

lol.

Can't believe he was cleared. The guy tried to source TB4 from China and was cleared of "attempting to administer TB4".

This whole thing is a complete travesty.

Bring on CAS.

but Choke....they weren't "COMFORTABLE".... i mean

Don't forget that the RSL brought into the idea in the first place. As the President of the RSL at the time, Bruce Ruxton was a massive supporter of the concept. My understanding from speaking with a couple of RSL Head Office types is that the RSL credit the Anzac Day game as a significant component in the resurrection of Anzac Day as a major day of respect.

By the way, the RSL's Victorian CEO, Mike Annett, is a Melbourne supporter.

Are they looking for their next injection?

Didn't think of it that way. Interesting.

I maintain though that a certain team should no longer be playing on ANZAC day.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
