As a lawyer, if I do any more criminal matters, my clients will be dressed in Carlton jumpers, because then you clearly can’t be guilty.

Seriously, I said in another post that this guy simply makes it up.

Pin arms, don’t pin arms, injury, no injury, hit head, don’t hit head, sling, don’t sling, drive into ground, don’t drive into ground, duty of care, no duty of care, possibility of injury, reasonable player, no reasonable player, aggressive action, not aggressive action and tonight’s new reason, long hair of the victim makes it look worse than it is.

How can you not ridicule this system and the people running it.

The word "corrupt" is used a lot.

I don't believe the system is corrupt - It is just totally brocken.  [censored] is a far more appropriate description ... but I'm not allowed to use that word.

I'm not just talking reports and the MRO, it's also the umpiring and inconsistency in paying free kicks within games. I certainly no longer have a clue as to what's going on - I don't think I'm alone.

During the JVR stupidity, I quoted Jordan Lewis' comments on 360. 

I believe they are still the best summary of the current [censored] up in our game , so I'll restate them -

" The AFL is making up the rules as they go"

Ill be waiting for the revulsion in the media come the morning....

Itll be there ??? Yeah ??? 

Surely ??? 

This is where the club needs to call it out...someone has to....

Won't matter to us...we're marked.  But for christ sake have a go...  Put it out there... the non accredited press will pick it up... theyll love it.

Say nothing ...expect same.

AFL...beyond corrupt

First time in my entire life, I don’t want to go to the footy! The AFL, the big clubs, the corrupt system, the umpires etc. Rules for some and not others. It’s shameful, biased and dishonest. 

Feel exactly the same. I have a reserved seat .Seriously thinking of giving it the flick.And not rejoining the club.

It's corrupt... you know it is. You're not stupid,you're reasoned. You understand things as they are.

What do you see ??

X ends in Y... if certain clubs.

Nonsensical citations result in Z if certain clubs.

Media... Zzzzzzzzzz

Sorry... Accredited media... ZZzzzzzzzz

This is all bought and sold.

How can you even put a spotlight on this? The media seem complicit as the 360 panel don’t seem to care that much. If it was me, I’d be confused AF and telling everyone as much as anyone would care to listen. 

How does the collective fan base hold the AFL to account?

I think our difference is semantics bb.

I don't believe the AFL is "corrupt" in the sense that Gleeson receives a paper bag for a particular finding, or that umpires get a bonus for awarding free kicks to influence an outcome.

However, I will agree that certain outcomes, or the sometime  success of one team over another, will suit the AFL's profit making agenda better than others.

Perhaps "unscrupulous" or maybe "amoral" would better suit us both ?

In my view though, my original descriptor of [censored] up is most apposite.

Thinking about things you cannot realistically change will just do your head in. The trick is to think of something else.  
Did you know that since Carlscum’s inception in 1897 that we have never beaten them in a Friday night game? (I sourced this from what another poster put on another thread).

So…… be angry, rock up the the G, make some noise and see the boys rectify this embarrassing record.  It will make you feel better. GO DEES! (And I don’t want to be outnumbered by their fans!)

Didn't the AFL change the rules so you can't compare different incidents at the appeals tribunal? They want to make it appear to be a law court, but take out the opportunity of precedence.

The AFL are just absolute pretenders, and Gil is top dog.

Yes. That’s why they’re all just litigation rubbish arguing over specific words instead. It’s pathetic.

Hewett is concussed is he not? Or has that changed? 

Yes, but I was referring to him getting off at the Tribunal, because he was charged with striking with the wrong forearm, even though they can amend, they let him off a couple of weeks ago.

I am 71, have loved the game and especially the MFC, since I was about 5 and I am now at the stage, where I only want to go to games, to be with my kids and grandkids.

I detest what I see happening to the game, which is run imo purely for money.

People are ripped off at every turn by the AFL.  AFL members are forced to pay $10.00 on top of membership for a seat at the G, for many games, instead of just being allowed to walk up.

The fixturing is completely unfair and of its own, makes the whole competition a compromised sport.

The umpiring is inconsistent.

The MRO and Tribunal are a joke.

The media because of accreditation are sycophants, too scared to report honestly.

Everything is a deal, or fixed by a deal.

Players now are unsure how to play the game and as an example, against Freo, I watched Melbourne players actually hesitate before going for the ball or tackling.

Games being played on school nights, so families are denied the ability of attending.

Blasting music so loud you can’t talk to people next to you.

Excessive Politicising of the game.

My love of the game has been severely diminished by its administrators, who couldn't run a BBQ without giving everyone food poisoning.

I detest the direction of the game, that these people have taken it in and I am not referring to efforts to make it safer.

Yes they have improved the viewing facilities, with some new grounds and refurbishments, but they have imo achieved little else.

At least I have my memories of hard, tough,skillful footy, umpired reasonably, with penalties at Tribunals that were pretty consistent and people loving the game and actually living for it.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
