Of course the drug problem Caro refers to may not necessarily be confined to personal use. Nice little Abletesque synergy going on.

    Geelong has suspended S. Johnson from the senior playing group indefinitely. All of his training will take place with the club's VFL squad under coach Leigh Tudor and he will not be invited back with the senior squad until such time as he proves that his attitude and behaviour have changed and that he is willing to be a responsible and contributing member of the club. Johnson's suspension from the senior group will be reviewed no sooner than the sixth round of the season.

    That is a long time for someone to sober up!

    What are you going to do when a promising player hits a female staff member? Not recruit an elderly Clarkson, a Nick Pesch, that guy from the Saints, that SA guy from the Maggies. That's what actually hurts you.

    :o

    In relation to the Eagles subject...Whoever makes those comments should really check their sources. I live in Perth and while all this talk is going on in Melbourne, nothing has been said here?? It's actually quite funny to hear the rumours etc I'm not saying the Eagles are angels, but I would like to know where this lady gets her info.

    Depends which circles you move in.

    Despite the flack that she gets, Caro is a reasonable journo and wouldn't make such a claim without some pretty 'tight' sources.

    Quite probably from the AFL's own Drug report from last year, leaked to Faifax papers and others, which named players, and for which the AFL successfully took out an injunction to prevent publication. That's a fairly good source IMO.

    This was a serious leak and resulted in the AFL changing drug testing providers this week in an effort to tighten security on information.

    BTW, I wonder if the day a Perth newspaper publishes a negative story about Worsfold and the team , is the day it goes out of business?

    A bit like Collingwood being untochable by some Melb papers overhere.

    Good point PGS. There was a story a short while ago in the Melb papers about the two team mentality, and how the Eagles through Worsfold use nothing less than fear and intimidation to bludgeon the journo's over there into printing only sweetness and light.

    Thanks guys, very interesting. I mean you hear the rumours and you know they exist, it's just no one really writes about them in the papers... <_<

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
