    If he can get MFC over the line every week for his old mate Goody, he's my kind of guy........

    Perfect match. I never listen to them anyway. Can never forgive him for what he did to the game.

    Apparently MMM have Dank doing the medical reports from boundary side.

    They tried to get Bomber Thompson, but he was too busy sniffing the boundary line

    The wish of the AFL and broadcasters to have Hird involved in the game is obvious to all. 

    Yes, I know forgiveness is an important aspect of our lives and part of the moral underpinning of society, however it's a bit rich when you welcome back someone that has been involved in activity that has deliberately broken the governing rules of sport and its moral code. "Cheating" is as bad as it gets. 

    However, if Wayne Carey can return to the game as a respected commentator after his activities, anything is possible.

    I suppose, it just highlights that commercial interests are paramount. Sadly, it is also proof that the ethical and moral standards of footy and all sports have declined.

    I actually can't believe he would want to step back into the game in any form.  if the media played it low key it would be one thing but they'll intro him as the superstar blah blah

    he set the bombers back almost 10 years so ill always thank him for that

    Glassing a woman in the face is a badge of honour in the AFL boys club.

    It's a wee bit like having Lance Armstrong come and do international commentary on the  Le Tour de France.  not on.

    ... sorry about the pee in a bottle irony.

    You’d think he’d want to stay clear of all things AFL including the football media after what he went through (including an attempted suicide). Massive narcissist.

    I supppse the unrepentant narcissist sees it as one step on the way back to coaching. 

    Yes, forgiveness is important but repentance must come first.  And I do t mean saying “sorry ..... that I was caught”.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
