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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
