Bulldogs will not lose, and he has not been picked for months. His season is over,  why be so judgmental. 

Because of precedence, it really isn't that hard to grasp.

    UNEXEPTIBLE  l am sorry  NO EXCUSES    How many chances does someone need.  Rules are there for  good reasons. 

    Bennell should know better.    Something is not connecting with the culture that the MFC has around  them.

    I dare say that he was told he won’t be back next year and went on a bender

    A chronic poor decision maker. Time to cut him loose. As for Hunt and Trac - what morons. How could they not know that behaviour is unacceptable? Our Club is bereft of leadership and commitment to non - negotiables

    So he may have cost the club $50k? That seems to be what's being reported...

    He's had enough chances

    Financially this will cost us and seriously Harley just when I thought you'd got yourself together you did this. I don't care if he was told he won't be offered another deal. He is still a melbourne listed player until either tonight if the dogs win or if the miracle occurs when our finals campaign is over. 

    Ugh!

    If he hasn't come back into the hub then there should be no financial penalty for the club. 

    The problem isn't leaving the hub, anyone is free to do that any time (the first 14 days notwithstanding), they just can't come back in.

    I don't think we should wait for the facts, I think we should hang the bloke and then later on see what it is all about.

    What if he had been told he is not playing again this year and maybe even will be delisted?

    So, what if thinking he is finished, he goes out for some drinks, leaving the hub and not intending to return to it, which he hasn't.

    In that scenario where is the Covid breach?

    Maybe that is not the scenario, but can we wait until we know exactly what happened, before we have him tried, convicted and retired from the AFL.

    No you don’t because I don’t post my every inner thought on Demonland. 

    Just because you don’t deem this disease deadly enough for your liking, doesn’t mean that it isn’t extremely contagious, very invasive and does a lot of damage (even without death), and that thousands of cases would see our health care system collapse to the point where loads of people would die for lots of reasons, not just Covid. 

    People breaching the rules are selfish flogs. People who think they can visit their family because they feel like it, are selfish and are costing the rest of us our freedom.

    We all have to make sacrifices and do the right thing so that we can ensure our health care system can stay as good as it is, and so that we can save the lives of many elderly people, who you may not care about, but who all have families who love them and want them alive.

    Thought he had given up Alcohol for life. Or at least for the season.

    Failing to wait to get the all clear to be on holidays and away from the hub is just monumentally stupid.

    Im guessing you're a person who hasn't lost their job due to the lockdown and hasn't lost a loved one to suicide this year?

    All good and well to say case numbers/death rates are down but this indirectly hits people massively. You'll wake up when you lose a dear friend close to you who is at wits end due to these restrictions

    You are wrong on both counts. I lost my job and my husband’s business is surviving on jobkeeper and is 70% down. 
    I had a friend attempt to commit suicide and I had a friend who works in a hospital who got this thing and nearly died and is still suffering the after effects. I also have a friend who’s 4 year old son has advanced cancer and he can’t go see him because only one parent is allowed to visit. 

    So don’t tell me who has and hasn’t suffered because of this. We are all struggling. We are all suffering. 
    I am very sorry to hear about your friend, and the pain you feel is no different to the pain 700+ families have felt this year when one of their loved ones have died from this disease. 

    This is awful for everyone involved. To rant about misleading statistics and facts that suit your personal narrative doesn’t help to make it easier or better.

    Can’t stand the media as facts are not a consideration most of the time, just put 2 and 2 together and come up with wth 5.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
