That Purple pissant released the news with full knowledge and approval from all involved. He isn't a bad guy here, he is simply the first to release the news (with full permission to do so). Purple is also fed his news directly from the AFL, other journos get theirs from other sources. If you are wondering who is aligned where just look through the articles from the doping saga, it is clear as day who pays the bills. 

Have you ever worked in a newsroom Chris? Do you think it was us on the phone to him? He was given permission - which means he had the story and was pushing to publish. I could tell you almost exactly how the conversation likely went down. The fact that Purple and Caro are fed by the AFL doesn't make them any less of muck-rakers - and the AFL are complicit. They, and what they represent, are a modern blight on our sport.

    I suspect a fair few people knew - even some on here - but that everyone respectfully kept the details out of the media/gossip columns. Till that purple pissant came along.

    He was given permission by the club to break the story. Sometimes its worth having a jounro on your side as you never know when you might need a favour at some point later on

    As above. He was given 'permission'. This would have come about by Barret letting the club know that he knew and leaning on it to publish. Concessions and caveats then follow. The club is perfectly capable of announcing it themselves. Why would Purple need to be involved? Because 'journalism'. I can just imagine the rush he got when he first got wind of the story and it makes me sick. I would hate to think we'd ever need a favour from the likes of him - but he probably thinks he's already given us one by not breaking the story over the weekend.

    I'm so glad Jesse going to be ok and also Jarred Roughhead and Sam Rowe as well. It was touching hearing them reach out to Jesse if he needs to talk to some one as they have been through it as well. 

    Hats off to Jesse as well for going straight to the doctor and getting it checked out, instead of just thinking it may go away i will next week or wait another week; as scary as it must have been for him he did it and as a result he will be alright so well done young man.

    I hope Jesse's family are ok as well? after what they have all been through with the passing of Jesse's dad and now this so thoughts are with Jesse's family.

    Some may be interested in this very positive summation of the condition by the Cancer Council

    Helps to have a broad understanding of the issue, clearly explained.

    A bright spot to a sad and sorry day - Goodwin says Jesse is recovering at home in Perth and will be back at the club the week after next (ie last week of May, merely a fortnight after the procedure) then starts some training.

    Regardless of when Jesse plays again its great that he is recovering quickly and wants to get back to footy.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
