Was Hunt the scapegoat at GCS?  I'm not suggesting anything about Stringer other than to say if the club has identified him it's a big call to make him the scapegoat because he's also an incredible asset.  It would be unusual to make that sort of choice.

I'm surprised so many are struggling to join the dots.

Don't know much about Hunt - his contract was up and went back to Rugby (I think). 

Not sure if you are asking if I have joined the dots?  Yes I have...refer my last 3 or 4 posts on this subject...I'm just being careful with what I say so DL owners don't get sued and I don't get a DL holiday...

    Start here and research further if you want.  Again I"m NOT suggesting Stringer is Hunt but just commenting on "scapegoat" references.

    There is a reason Dogs have made him the scapegoat (in your words).  They didn't just pick his name out of a hat.

    Well, you have to say one thing. With the "difficult characters" the Dogs have on their list, they've managed to get them all pulling in the same direction long enough to win the ultimate reward. Speaks volumes for the support structures around the club.

    Maybe just maybe, they have far too many old boys in their footy department.

    Just a guess, but we all know what former players can be like, when they are in power at their old club.  Often pretty much wanting jealously to own the club, & so get miffed when foreign changes are mooted by outsider coaches in the footy department.

    This, if it is what's going on, can only be a major impediment to the club and it's players preparation ?

    I think the idea that Stringer is a scapegoat is over-reaching a tad. I think there's enough smoke to suggest a very large fire when it comes to his off field behaviour and he'll be hoist on his own petard!  There are others in the same boat, and maybe Bevo is of the opinion that 12 months on and deep into a premiership hangover,that one head on a spike might be enough of a warning to others to tow the company line.

    Then again the problems maybe so deep that it's more than just a warning to the playing group its about excising dangerous cultural practices that if left to linger will completely ruin their chance at another tilt.  Players like Stringer, Libba, and Biggs all mentioned and it maybe that none at the kennel next season.

    Oooppphhhh that's unseemly to say the least. Rooting around on your wife with a school girl (allegedly) and the gambling to top it right off.

    The age of these girls is concerning. I'm not sure on the rules with that stuff but surely that's a storm in itself?

    Not surprising.

    He seems to have an extremely low IQ.

    Isn't that only as long as there is an age gap under 2 years (maybe more?) otherwise it's statutory rape?

    I guess there are two sides to every story but OMG this sounds pretty awful as it has been told.

    As others have said though : (if as stated) perfect moral standards for the Druggies.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
