Wish we still had Kent 

Why?  Alright, he's playing okay today, but he did that for us too.  Then he'd go missing for a few games or get injured.

Interesting start to the Port vs Carlt game.  Port 4.2.26 to Carlton 5.2.32 just before Qtr time. 

Will be rather shattered if Carlton win or run Port to the line in a close loss.

When he was fit he was normally best 22, and gave us something up forward. We offered a 1 year deal because of the injuries, saints offered 3 i think. I hope his body holds up and has a good career. But if i had the choice for a spot on the list  between a fit kent and a maynard or hore, i would be picking dean any day of the week

Charlie Curnow down into the rooms with a knee injury. He was running straight like chasing to tackle and just suddenly went down. Barely change of direction or anything. Very strange knee injury. Let's hope it's not serious, as knee injuries are striking hard across the league thus far this season.

Because we need speed in our forward half, with Hannan out for most of the year Kent would be very handy for us right now

So you also believe he said it deliberately. Fair enough. I just don’t think he attacked a disabled person on TV intentionally.

I'm not sure he did, Red. Possibly.

He does so little research on the subject of his topic, it's professionally inept.

However, he has said stupid, insulting things sooooo many times on air/TV that it's time he should be brutally taken to task. But who would do that? Not Gill, not the Coll board, not the media companies. He makes faux apologies and then repeats another insult 12 mths later. Such a blokey industry.

Irrelevant as to intention. He did so .

He's a buffoon. Any which way or why...he did so. Prime ignoramus.

I didn’t put words in your mouth, you posted “whether it was deliberate or not “ and by that I thought you were conceding it might not have been deliberate. 

However you know what Eddie intended, so what is the point of discussing it with you. 

Eddie saw what was going on, that’s why the comment was made. 

If he hadn’t seen what took place there would have been no mention of it. 

Rather simple really. 

He completely stuffed up and tried to squirm out of it. 

He should have been banned from on air work after his Adam Goodes comments, but as Eddie is the “king of the boys club” nobody stood up to him as usual


I’m friends with Cynthia, who tossed the coin, and I spoke to her partner earlier today. They were putting on a brave front but I could tell they were absolutely gutted, not just by the comments, but at being forced into the spotlight because of that bumbling fool.

The subtext of the apology - that it’s ok to mock someone but not if they’re an ‘inspirational’ and ‘courageous’ plane crash survivor - was equally pathetic - “I wouldn’t have said it if I’d known it was Cynthia.” 

Thankfully, the Swans hit the right note with their statement condemning McGuire, which said that everyone invited to toss the coin is chosen because of their love of the club and game, and none of them deserve to be humiliated on national television.

Grrrrrrrr ???

I have a fair idea how she would feel. 

Pass on my regards and strength. This will take a few days to pass over

Feel horrible for Cynthia, my deepest sympathies. No one deserves to be ridiculed on national television, least of all an amputee who has already suffered so much.

Just another example of white male privilege in an industry dominated by the elite boys club. Pathetic stuff. As usual it'll be slept under the rug and ultimately ignored, with the instigator ultimately rewarded with a pay rise and bigger exposure. 

Off topic ramble  -  the new AFL.com website is awful.

Why do the morons that run the game ruin everything?

I hope you told them it’s fine though cos Eddie didn’t know.

Game over! Stiff [censored] Bummers!

Bomber Blitz Game day thread making interesting reading at present.

Loved this comment....

"The only reason I’m not walking out right now, is I’m looking forward to sharing a few thoughts with the players as they come off "

If it was a someone like Robbo we could say he doesn't know any better.  But as a club President, Eddie knows it is a special honour to toss the coin.  It doesn't matter who it was, ridicule of the coin toss is totally inappropriate. 

So his comments should be condemned for what they were not because of who the person was.  An extra layer of condemnation because it was said of a very admirable person.  Add another layer for his lack of contrition last night that led him to make another apology today.

He may live in Toorak but will always be a Broady bogan.

Oops!  Blues hit the front late in the 3rd.  Not bad given Charlie Curnow hasn't played since the first quarter.

Its hard to understand what happened to us last week ?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
