Another Covid breach by Richmond

The arrogance of that club and all involved is amazing. Continually letting them off or penalising them lightly is partly to blame. A monetary fine won’t suffice in this case.

    The AFL already putting their own spin on it and playing it down with the headline. They weren’t “caught up” in it, they were fully involved and subsequently arrested.

    Surely some poor bastard isn't going to cop the penalty for two knuckleheads who should already be boarding a plane out !

    It's what happens when the club leaves the adults at home...and the kids in charge.

    Obviously the message isn’t getting through , perhaps taking premiership points might actually deter this?

    Agree... Balme in Melbourne and how many gaffs by Hardwick and his team.

    This.

    Premiership points is the only deterrent. What do the players care about a fine paid out by the club? 8 premiership points puts the Tigers battling it out for a finals spot and impacts their peers.

    Perhaps the fine should be taken out of the Total Player Payments and not the livelihood of a staffer/coach.

    Interesting test of the so called independent journalists in AFL media.

    Nothing obvious on the AFL website 2 hours after the story has broken

    I think this incident really highlights the double standards with which the exemptions that the football community has received to be able to move across borders relative to the rest of us in society (except those with money and influence).  It’s actually just plain wrong , part of me wants Anastasia to just pull the pin on this season , morally there is something that doesn’t sit right with me that the afl will find a [censored] way to wriggle out of this like they always do, they treat the public with contempt 

    the afl are arrogant, maybe a harsh lesson is required here

    Surely Browne’s parents pay Channel 7 for him to work there. He can’t string a sentence together and his grammar is shocking.

    So Tom Brown is saying the merchant terminal should really be taking the fall ?

    Propaganda machine in full swing aided by the media. It doesn't matter if they were drunk or not, it doesn't matter who started the fight. The point is why were they out at 3 in the morning in the Gold Coast crook city area. Stop the spin.

    Interesting the kebab guy reckons ‘not drunk’. Not sure about others experiences, but I’d find it rather difficult to stomach a 3.30am kebab after a couple of bags at the strippers!

    A police officer once told me nothing good happens after 3 am. And a full moon makes it 100 times worse.

    Oh come come Deemented you are being far too cynical. I’m sure lots of sober people crave a delicious kabab at 3am down Cavill Avenue , washed down with a raspberry Powerade . It’s just coincidental that the kebab shop happened to be located next to an exotic entertainment venue.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
