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?

    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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
