My kids want to be late to school tomorrow.  Can I get Gill the Dill to call the principal and sort it?

    Just shows the pull of AFL in the big end of town. It's no joke. Aussie Rules is embedded at the pointy end of Australian life the way other sports can only dream of.

    The CEO of the NRL never got an au pair through the red tape. (But then again, an NRL au pair would be a Russian tractor driver, not a blonde Francaise!)

    For sure. All it takes is one phone call from Gil. (And a $10,000 donation to the school.)

    I suspect there's an innocent explanation to all of this. Probably something to do with Gillion mis-hearing and believing he was acting on an application for a priority pick. 

    I think Gillon actually misread the advertisement for AFL head honcho:  he thought it was for the Australian Polo League.  He could even, perhaps, have run that one quite competently?

    I'd let the polo player in if the trade off is that we send Hamish to Argentina.

    It's crying out for him. Have you seen the price of braised beef and burgundy cottage pies at Portsea?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
