    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

    Really? Is that a thing?

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
