Should take the media pressure of us.

 

I look forward to the AFL announcing its own investigation  with threats of AFL imposed suspension.

Well hopefully people jump on this now.

Can I just ask what goes through people's minds when they post this on social media? Did he not realise the implications?


It might help explain the brain fades and need for special leave. 

Btw, Lachie Hunter is ready to come back from 'personal' leave after a convenient 6 week break...

The bulldogs are quite adept at using smoke screens and finding nothing after their own investigations. 

Maybe Tom Morris got too close to the truth of what happens at the kennel...

The Bulldogs are investigating?!?!?

The AFL and the Police should be investigating. 

I'm not jumping to conclusions here, but he's put himself into a posiiton where this demands a drug test. 

If guilty a years suspension. He's the most popular player in the game. Do that shiz off line you muppet if you're boring enough to do it.

Talent is wasted on the dumb 

Bulldogs will pull the mental health card and that will kill the story quick smart. 

Of all opposition supporters, I have alway felt the Footscray people were okay. I never had any dramas going to see the Deez at the Western oval in the '70s and '80s. Once again, Footscray people have been noice to us Demons. Thank you for the gift BS.  You are forever in our hearts. 

I recall a few years ago Caroline Wilson said the AFL bans commentators from media reports where it might affect a player's mental health.  iirc it was when Jack Stevens was hospitalised after being stabbed.  She said the media hold back a lot of stories because of the AFL edict.

Watch this Bailey Sniff Smith episode disappear down the same rabbit warren. 

The very same rabbit warren his alleged assault on someone on the GC last year went, after the alleged victim was transported to hospital, police investigated but no charges and the bulldog's did their usual 'nothing to see here' report.

Neil Mitchell's view about footballers is that you're no dealing with Einsteins. Hard to argue with him after this week's events

All I'm going to do is reflect on how proud I am that the first source to tell me about the Demon's dinner fiasco was the club itself.

 

Bailey Smith is, indeed, the new shiny toy. Gerard Whateley will quickly shift his focus from May to Bailey, claiming that everything is disgusting and that the AFL needs to conduct another investigation on top of the May investigation, as well as the investigation that will undoubtedly take place next week when Toby Greene is scheduled to put his foot in it somewhere.

I have been saying for years that because you can play football well does not necessarily make you a rocket scientist.

Disagree.

The narrative is already being shaped:

May - 'He has history this bloke. Horrible look. So much damage. Obviously a trouble maker....'

Smith - 'We need to think about his mental health. Poor fella must be struggling. Needs our support...'

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
