  • Feels the AFL commission should intervene with the West Coast situation and punish Cousins
  • Not sure that Cousins deserves to play again, not in the short term at least, as he is affectively a cheat (he didn't say cheat, but he implied it and compared Cousins to a cyclist who gets caught using drugs and is punished with a long suspension).
  • Said Headland's reaction on Sunday (kissing the tattoo), was inciting the fans
  • We got fined $7,500 for the runner getting in the way of Sandilands on Sunday, no explanation or a 'please explain' given either. We've obviously asked why the fine is so heavy, when Braun only got a $5,000 fine for swearing. (My 2 cents worth: What a friggin disgrace, $7,500 for a silly runner mistake. Gees! :rolleyes: )

  • Said he expects Daniher to coach us in 2008, but there will be no contract discussion in the press.
  • Also said Daniher may not necessarily want to coach us next year, as he may want a break (will this be the excuse for a mutual parting?)
  • Wants Neale to be our next premiership coach, and believes we are still in a premiership window. We're capable of winning a flag in the next 18 months according to PG.
Just quietly, I don't think Daniher will coach us next year, but PG is showing public support to try and get the media off our backs.

I'd be very surprised if Neale is still there in 2008.

Good on Paul Gardner, I can just guess what some will think of this. Compare his response to that of Joe Gutnik's when he stormed into the commentary box in 97 at half time against the Saints in Rd six and we were looking at a fifth straight loss.

Hutchy is a rat but at least he asks a few real questions, which is probably why everyone hates him. Remember him ripping into Don Scott a few years back..haha...but anyway

Whilst the interview was positive I can't halp but feel Gardiner is overly optimistic. We are last on the ladder and he says we can win a flag in 18 months. If a president of another club in our position had said that I would laugh. I think that ON OUR DAY AND WITH OUR BEST 22 ALL PLAYING WELL we can win a premiership. But we have no consistency, we have no depth and let's face come season's end when the contenders start to present themselves we start to unravel

sort of a shame he didnt just come out with the you know what ...'Unequivocal support " for the coach !! :-) ..as we all know what happens next!!.

but honestly..wish ND no malice.. hope he continues on a happy road.....maybe as a "rev' he's more suited to elevators going up as opposed to where elevators going down lead !!

Fully agree Graz. Another professional and mature performance by him. Its a far far improvement on Gutnick.

I cannot put in words how much I dislike Craig Hutchison.

I used to love him but now, I couldn't even begin to describe how much of a dirty, sly rat he is.

I completly agree with you. The moment he went to 9 he said on the footy show "they dont have enough cameras and i kinda got sick of their mediaoka footy coverage reports". This may be true but working at a station that has trained u and given u that profile for 7 years...doesent seem fair to slap it back in their face. I hate the guy so much and i seriously hope his career ends due to some unfortunate (forunate for me) mistake

I've no problem with the runner being fined, he interferred with play. That said he ws blindsided and didn't mean it.

If the runner cops a 7 grand fine, then surely the umpire should too. His mistake was worse than the runners, he had a clear view of the incident and was negligent in not paying a free to Freo. If not the umpire, then the AFL, as his employer, should be fined :lol:

If the runner, by being negligent in his duties get fined 7 grand then surely the umpire, who was even more megligent in his duties should have to cough up the same amount.

You are probably right there Rod, but do you want lay odds on that actually happening ;) ?!!!

They did get a free kick. We actually kept playing and kicked a goal that was disallowed and the ball brought back to the centre and Freo got the free kick. They got a goal as a result of that forward entry play!

I thought that decision was for something else - maybe a push in the contest paid against Miller? Not sure.

I really like PG, I like the way he goes about it and I like that he's a bigger picture sort of guy.

That said, his comments about Cousins were way off the mark.

Let's focus on us before we starting worrying about Ben Cousins.

That is exactly the way I was left thinking as well Hards......

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
