And yet Slobbo and Caroline Wilson keep on going ad infinitum 

BT reported on mmm today robbo sent Fasolo a letter apologising for his comments then apparently asked him if he wanted to do an exclusive interview with him for the Herald sun. Is he a jerk or what? 

Is it true Sam Lane has left as well. 

But I will miss Martin's stories. They were heartfelt ones that were interesting to read.

    Haha you are kidding. I hope Alex threatened him with court action if he ever says another word.

    The best writer of football and sport of his generation. The pathos the man evokes has always reinforced my love of the game. His humanity will be missed especially in the vacuous noise of current commentators and writers injecting themselves into contemporary stories about the game we love. Feeling sad and more than a little older that he is retiring.

    Spotted Martin amongst the Demons' faithful in the Tridents on the final siren yesterday. Shook his hand and wished him all the best and that I'll be keeping an eye out for where he pops up next as I made my way out. He offered the most humble thank you in return. True gentleman.

    Robbo can go jump in a sewer pipe; after what he said.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
