Shame they're not big enough, otherwise the trampoline company "Bounce' would be quite fitting.

    Anything for the almighty dollar, and anyway they will need it to help fund Sheedy's crazy ideas.

    More goals, means more centre bounces, means more exposure for Coles.

    Enter another corporate scumbag putting pressure on the AFL to increase goal scoring through rule changes.

    This on ground advertising is a worrying trend. LED billboards around the ground are one thing but you can see where they are going.

    Next will be the goal square and then ....................

    And then computer generated ads and crowds over the fans in the stands during boundary kicks and throw ins.

    The only thing stopping open slather is that different bodies control different aspects. AFL= the playing surface, MCC= the around ground adverts and the broadcaster = whatever deal they can do.

    Will it grow mould by half time?

    No it will be wrapped in plastic film.

    "Rule changes for 2020. A. Players will not be permitted to stand in, run through, or enter the centre circle in any way shape or form. Infringements to be penalised by a free kick to the opponents in the opponent's goal square. B. After a goal there will be no bounce.  Instead, players will form a semi circle around the circle, sing a chorus of "Down Down" and the ball will be handed to the nearest player who can say the Coles slogan the fastest.

    Commentators at center bounce "Umpire throws it down down down down."

    I tried to watch the Superbowl but the sheer quantity of nauseating ads/commercials made me want to smash something.

    I have similar feelings when the AFL trash our culture and traditions.

    So do Ruck infringements now get penalised under the Coleslaw?  

    I'll pay that.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
