Melksham fined 10k

Well, sounds like it might be a good time to replace Hibberd with Melksham.

Fortunately, we have a coach who has empathy in a situation like this, having been through similar issues.

Fair point.


Well the CAS hearing found that Ess players lied to drug tester forms and kept info from their doctor.  Is anyone really surprised he would withhold info/lie to the AFL.

Some people never learn.

De Goey got 3 weeks for lying to the his coach...I wonder what sanctions Melksham will get from the club.  Probably nothing.  But I know which is more serious.

Another stupid decision by someone involved with Essendon Football Club. I am not longer surprised. Annoyed we got lumped with the likes of Melksham, Goodwin and Hibberd.


A minor issue.

Charlie Dixon has a glass of red wine the night before a game and he's front page of the Herald Sun and suspended by his club.  The AFL would happily pepperspray the likes of Jack Crisp for a $10 multi.  Others convulse in anger over Hogan having a dart on a weekend off, as if he's some sort of nicotine addict.  Fans lamenting drafting Melksham over a trivial betting indiscretion involving his account (sure, they also think he can't play footy).

Meanwhile, Ben Cousins is a mess and never tested positive for illegal drug use and first time offenders are protected from public vilification.  

Somewhere, there's an imbalance.

Wonder what he was betting on...

Getting dropped?

it was from last year whilst under the "essendon" suspension

they were under a non contact suspension and not playing, so even if he had bet on afl (which they said he didn't) it hard to see what the fuss is

Aside from Gary Moorcroft, can anyone recall a more disliked import than Melksham?

Tom Gillies doesn't count as he was just handicapped at football.

Lumumba by a country mile.

Mitch Clarke has them all covered!  With good reason.

I really couldn't give a rats.

He can have a winnie, a tinnie whilst filling out the quaddie for all i care.

If hes up for playing 120 of decent footy im fine.

So far ...very much ho-hum

Hopefully compatriot Michael fares better.

The Milkshake curdled a tad.

Reading the story, he wasn't betting but someone else was using his account. Who that was isn't disclosed. 

Sounds like the dog ate my homework!

 

Cant say he has had a good start. Some of it out of his control, but what he has done now on and off the field has been average to say the least. Some of his work against Freo last week was cringeworthy. Would much rather have Hibbo in.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
