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

All vengeance filled right wing Media Hacks like kicking people when they are down.....

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...

Hyperbole.

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.

Oh god please don’t get me started on how wrong you and they are.

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.

Probably best to hold off on the crucifixion until the facts are known. 

U mean DONT do what the media do Ethan. 
 

That’s a novel idea. 
 

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.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      • Thanks

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
