I see the AFL king pins are all at Werribee Mansion for a love in to discuss equalisation and the state of the game. I would love to be staying down there tonight to witness the hard work being done. What do you reckon is going on now, a giant AFL payed for nosh up and pizz up? Are you expecting some bold resolutions to be agreed upon for equalisation to put to the Commission of Drones any time soon? I suspect we will see zilch on equalisation but a few options to unclog the game.

But we do know there will be gallons of top shelf plonk knocked off tonight and paid for by the paying public.

    Independent AFL Comission... Now there is an oxymoron for you. it is a bit like " an intelligent Collingwood supporter" or " A balanced Essendon supporter".

    put the game into reverse, & reverse up about 18 years.

    & tell them to stop listening to the stakeholders such as the players, & the current coaches; & start to talk/listen to the people in the outer's, & the past coaching greats of the 60's & 70's instead.

    get the game back into the hands of the people who make the living atmosphere at games, the everyday supporters... no, not the members... They can have their say with they're clubs.

    The Swans with their poaching of Franklin from under the noses of GWS (read AFL) put their own interests ahead of the game. Skrew the Swans and Collis the "he said some rude words mum" wimp.

    Swans were out of order and exploited the rules to the detriment of the competition. Puts them in the same boat as us for tanking and the Dons for Jabbing...

    Good on Fitzy for letting him have it.

    And... what kind of [censored] bag reports on the colour of language used in a private conversation? [censored]!

    Edit: additional rant.

    What a load of rubbish. Point out exactly what the Swans did wrong in signing Franklin as a FA?

    fitzpatrick may well have pizzed off someone in newscorp but he has had a dream run for many years and seemingly been off-limits for criticism

    his chickens may well be coming home to roost

    not that collis is a clean skin either with their manipulation of cola which they should never have had in the first place

    Newscorp linked with Channel 7 - they may be [censored] off at the shemozzle that is Friday night footy this year.

    Although it was "within the rules" (sounds familiar?) it was against the spirit of the COLA. Which was to compensate PLAYERS for the higher cost of living in Sydney, not for the CLUB to stockpile $$$$ for a big purchase.

    Although they landed Buddy, Sydney shot themselves in the foot. Soon COLA will be a thing of the past even though the reasons for its existence may continue.

    nd yes, Sydney are not taking away the COLA. The AFL is. But Sydney are culpable.

    News Warp have stronger links with Channel 10. They'll be laughing their heads off at this year's debacle.

    I think it's drawing a pretty long bow to argue anything they did was unethical. Completely different to tanking or drug use.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
