Wayne Bennett suspended from coaching Souths this weekend against his old mob the Broncos after breaching covid protocols. ( eating in a restaurant with wife). 

I'm still unsure how Bucks was able to coach last round. 

Reallly?  Remind me, what club does he coach?  Who is their president?

    He admitted fault cos he had some fault in it. Hardly think it's this conspiracy some are trying to make it out to be.

    Cleary actually broke an AFL Media protocol of not reporting the names of family members who break protocol.

    Perhaps a bit less speedy with the insults and outrage until all the facts come out.

    Even then, not sure why the insults are necessary tbh.

    Nev this post is not directed at you but at the highlighted point you raised. 

    Every reporter that reported on the story has named Ms Cotchin, have they been suspended?

    Ms Cotchin outed herself. 

    I cannot see how reporting on a public post leads to Cleary's suspension, all the suspension does is draw more attention to Ms Cotchin. 

    The stupidity of people that post photos of themselves breaking rules/laws staggers me. They deserve whatever comes their way. 

    I note that Cleary admitted doing the wrong thing, I suspect he wants to continue AFL reporting.

    I guess it's a bit like an embargo, once the first person has reported it then it's 'out there'. Also, not every reporter is employed by AFL media and has the same agreed rules as them.

    Totally agree she outed herself and it was dumb. I also think a warning to Cleary would have been more than enough.

    Cleary did the wrong thing and admitted it. I don't get why people are making up conspiracies about something so simple.

    More players break the rules: covid-breach-port-stars-set-to-cop-bans-after-entertaining-visitors

    Should get the same suspension as young Elijah Taylor of the Swans:  out for the season (plus solitary confinement in his room for 14 days to quarantine). 

    Throw the book at them.  If they miss playing in finals bad luck!

    Idiots for risking the competition.

    I am sure I remember early on in this COVID season planning there was discussion that any breaches (by players, officials or WAGS) would result in immediate end of season for the offenders,  however as some of the higher profile breaches involved Collingwood and Richmond high profile individuals, nothing meaningful has happened.

    Now would it be different for example if ANB had committed a breach (of course before he was suspended)?

    If it was AVB he'd be put to the guillotine

    Why weren't we awarded the four points when Essendon could not take the field?

    Because that isn’t in the script.

    Wait and see the next ANB type tackle and if it’s a name player, watch the way it is differentiated and penalised.

     The Cotchin’s are self-entitled bogans and the AFL are pathetic. 

    I believe the term these days is "CUBs"
    Cashed Up Bogans.

    I'm so sick of hearing the term 'WAGS' whenever I hear it I don't get the impression of innocent family and wife I just think of spoiled idiots that have no idea that being in the hub is a privilege and not a right. Any story that contains that term is usually nothing but trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
