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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
