When you're a senior manager in a high profile organisation, you're expected not to conduct yourself in a manner that puts your organisation in to the news. It's part of the job, and what you accept w

While it's titillating for a moment it's a minor issue that is occurring in thousands of workplaces around the country.  It's happening today, tomorrow and will be in 50 or 150 years.

As usual, it's the parties we don't hear from that are hurt the most.  But that's their business.

Without all the facts, this seems a minor issue in the scheme of things and something that Dill deals with well (think pies).

If only he were to move so quickly and concisely on the big issues facing the game.

It's about power discrepancy 

How much power does it take to keep your legs closed?

It's about vengeance and money.

It's about home wrecking.

The men who dipped their pens in the company ink are not very clever.

When will women ever have to pay for their mistakes?

Anyone suggesting the women involved should resign as well are showing a complete lack of understanding of the situation, especially from a legal perspective. God damn it AFL, your execs should know better ...

press release from Gil McLachlan:

"The AFL has a deserved reputation in following world's best practices in screwing over our integrity and screwing over our rules. But screwing over anyone or anything that has nothing to do with ratings or profitability is a waste of time and resources and therefore cannot be tolerated. For that reason we are cutting these guys adrift without a second thought. They will have to do something much worse if they expect any loyalty or support from AFL house."

Was he talking about workplace relations or just making conversation?

Maybe he was warning you off. Find your own household crockery, young 'un.

She's not a senior exec. Before you suggest anything sexist, it would be the same outcome if it was a senior female executive with a young male.

Are you sure about that? Because I'm not.

Certainly isn't the case with male teachers and female students vs female teachers and make students. There are a lot of double standards with this sort of thing....

Why has my OP been edited?

Nothing in there that wasn't in the published articles? Demonland censor strikes again....

That's precisely why this kerfuffle stands out like Lethlean's ......... erm ....  well, a lot.

That would be equality.

The men involved will pay for this severely and the women will make money from it.

Well you seem to have the full facts surrounding this issue. Care to share them with the rest of us?

I love the way you assume nothing ever improves.  I'd say the situation where there is an imbalance of power is better today than it was 20 years ago and a damn sight better than in the middle ages - or do you regret the passing of droit du seigneur?  All that damn political correctness.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
