Bit of Off Season banter here but Shane Yarran who retired from Freo took to Facebook and wrote this about Freo and Nat Fyfe. The journos think ots legit but you be the judge.

Certainly his account, but maybe not him posting. Although you'd think if it wasn't him there'd be a strong denial.

Hard to read much in to the drug stuff. That's not really anything we don't know about AFL footballers.

The Fyfe stuff was the most shocking to me. Certainly there's always been rumours he isn't well liked by a lot of his team mates but this is pretty vicious treatment, you'd have to really dislike someone to write this about them.

That was written by a very troubled person who needs help.  He is carrying around a lot of hatred and bitterness and this is coming out in his assaults and other incidents in his private life.  

Interesting the resentment at some clubs about players who set themselves high standards, some thing has happened to others such as Rockliff.  In the past you would work to match them, it seems to today they resent them when they work so hard to succeed.

I think he needs to learn about spelling and Grammar.

I'm sure that'd sort him out no doubt. Maybe a couple of years at Melbourne Grammar.

Agree in general but I doubt anyone would be hating Rockliff for his purity as a 'virgin dog'.

Also 'ratf...er', which is confusing. Can a dog still count as virgin if it is f...ing rats?

This is not an edifying moment for anyone involved. I do wonder how the $1.7m man will handle it?

All is not well in Lala  land. The Dorkers are done and dusted for quite some time. Doubt across Lyon has the people skills to pull this rabble together

Ross Lyon picks his best 22, doesn't vary it too much, but gets the most out of them. The problem is, those outside the 22 simply don't improve under a RL coaching regime.

He is not very good at managing the entire playing group. He is the antithesis of a list manager.

Poor guy. I hope he is OK.

Life can go off the rails pretty quickly for a lot of people.

He needs a good support network around him. An AFL club environment would be a pressure cooker for many people.

Given the chance of a lifetime to play AFL at the top level, continues to screw up with two assault charges pending, [censored] on the club and all of the players accusing them all of being on drugs and, if I read it right, wants Fyfe to 'die a slow painful death'. The icing on the cake is the complete lack of punctuation. I find it hard to have any sympathy.

I hope Freo do the right thing and support him through this tough time. With the right guidance, they might be able to cajole him out of retirement.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
