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.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
