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! 

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
