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 ?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
