    Grog, ciggies and the punt. 
     

    What other vices are there to help this competition function?

    Tongue in cheek question.

    Wouldn’t be happy one with the club being associated with a criminal organisation. 

    We could launder the players jumpers through them. Oh, ok... wrong laundry. Sorry.

    Crown is the font of evil in Melbourne, dirty dirty organization with loads of sleaze and abuse hidden by a slick facade. Did I tell you I didn’t like Crown? If all you saw were the functions and advertising you could be fooled into thinking it’s benign but truly it’s not. Gambling should be tolerated not encouraged, much like sex work, and other activities that chip away at human dignity.

    Do they still bombard you with a million betting app ads during breaks at the footy?

    Yep. The money is too lucrative for AFL and the TV networks, any chance of that changing under Gil’s watch went down the toilet with the covid losses at the afl. 

    Might change with a new CEO although the betting companies will always be looked after to some extent because it helps the afl stay on top of match/outcome fixing

    Yeah it’s real, was introduced a while ago now and a joke it was approved. It’s a variation of the game called ‘Blackjack Plus’ mainly found on the lower limit tables.

    The silly part is people actually played this variation. When I last visited, standard Blackjack was still around but on $50 -$100 minimum tables. 
    The below is from a google search this morning.

    Anti-gambling crusader Tim Costello said if Crown was allowed to get 22 playing blackjack then ''Essendon should be allowed to have 19 players on the field''.

    That wouldn't make much difference.

    Not even Crown can sportswash their brand. Tarnished beyond repair. Zero chance we take their filthy lucre.

    Hawthorn would take the cash. And tell you they are the family club!

    I would have liked the club to respond with a very quick and firm no thanks!

    Hopefully, this is not far away.

    If Crown do sponsor the Demons, it would literally be a case of selling your soul to the devil. 😈

    I'd be very surprised if any club took up this offer.

    Crown has been exposed for its shonky practices. Associating your name with them would certainly tarnish the family and inclusive image footy is trying to promote and, further, possibly risk other sponsorships.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
