We were parked on the grassy surrounds. I wasn’t the driver but since I paid for parking it was me who interacted with the parking guy. I asked the driver which road we used to enter the hellhole and she sent me this…

Yes your on part of the Crown Land reserve managed by the Trust. Just next door to the swimming pool.

Lengthy question sent off to the Trust last night.

 Stay tuned.

    Death, taxes and playing like [censored] at the MCG.

    I really hope this is rectified this year considering 6 out of our 8 losses took place there last year.

    This MUST be rectified, there's never an excuse to lose 3 in a row on that ground for this side.

    I’d have this number 1 on the improvement agenda.

    If we’re not playing our best footy and not winning more than 60% of our games at the G, then we’re not making prelims and granny’s.

    Makes you wonder how Melbourne would finish up if we played ALL our h&a games interstate mostly in Perth Adelaide and the Gabba.

    Top 4 probably. MCG is a worry.

    except that's not true. most journos are lazy and just say "out of contract kickett"

    it's not that hard to get it correct

    "Out-of-contract livewire" is the latest iteration.

    Umpire Nichols watching Max get a forearm to the head every marking contest and saying “nothing to see”. 
    I looked at him in the centre when BBB got those inside 50  frees in the final quarter and he looked so peeved.   Never would have paid them himself.

    Is he the bald one? Still upset with Maxy for belting the ball away at the centre bounce all those years back??

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
