    Grog, ciggies and the punt. 
     

    What other vices are there to help this competition function?

    Tongue in cheek question.

    Nah no chance, they lost me when they introduced 22 in the dealers’s hand as a stand-off in blackjack.

    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.

    gambling turnover is down by a 1/3 from stly so it doesn't surprise me that companies are trying to find new ways to get their product in front of new potential customers

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
