    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?

    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 ?

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
