The Curfew

At the risk of sounding harsh, Caroline Wilson's father is Ian "Octa' Wilson, former president of Richmond.  This was back in the days when stories were deliberately leaked to the likes of Alf Brown, Tom Prior, Peter Simunovich, Scott Palmer and the like.  Essentially a boys club and a star chamber.

I, not for one second, am saying that Caro is not a good journo, but one has to wonder where she would have been, if not for her father's connections.

She has a podcast called "Don't Shoot the Messenger".  Well Caro, in the good old days, journos used to investigate the leaks they received, cross reference them and dissect them, before reporting them.  Journos were not simply the deliverers of 'messages'.  In other words, it is not just about the so-called 'message'.

Right now, for me, it seems the MFC, its coaches, staff and players are as tight as a proverbial and this so called curfew will not diminish our fervour in achieving the ulimate goal.  How about looking into that Caro?

    Bit rich for Triple Chins and Ross 'Duplicitous' Lyon giving advise on how to win grand finals.

    It’s a bloody great idea. Keeps ALL the players focused on the gf coming up and reinforces that it’s not party time (yet).

    Is it really a curfew? They are not on holidays. They would be home at this time on a weeknight anyway when you are still working…

    If some of the players are calling it a curfew I would be disappointed. Footy players hey.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
