Iā€™m convinced Dodoro has compromising photos of someone high up at the Bombers. The bloke has Teflon shoulders

    Let's pray that DoDrito never learns to milk a draft using the same elasticity with double pike, triple twist and tight tuck he applies to the shenanigans in the Essenscum boardroom.

    If he can survive working at Essendon then anything is possible, It's a good move for him.

    I loved what Josh Mahoney bought to our club and was disappointed that he ventured to Essendon, I am so happy for Josh that he has been picked up by the AFL he will help make it a much smarter and fairer footy place and I like the changes Ā that Ross Dillon is making within the AFL.Ā

    I'm sure we all know who you mean. But it begs the question...is Ross any relation to Andrew Dillon?

    Many years ago now, I was a member the mfc, year after year. Joined after a passionate public plea from Jimmy. Then one year after having some financial struggles I was slow to renew. A cold call from Josh Mahoney himself seemed full of genuine spirit and desire to retain each member as every bit of help would have the club turn the corner soon. Whilst I was low on funds I had just found work and agreed that on the next payday I could make it work and would sign on again for what would have been a 10th year. He said he was excited to have me back and would personally call me that Friday to get me signed up once more. A decade has since passed. Iā€™m beginning to think he has forgotten me.Ā

    being hated by the peptide's people would surely have to be a badge of honour and a good guy endorsement

    Just because they claim to be rebuilding but also didn't have a single player in the 22-under-22 team doesn't mean there is anything wrong with their drafting and development. Just ask dodo.

    Escape is survival! Basically Essendon club politics is a Resident Evil spin-off.

    Just quit the AFL as GM Football Performance. City Hall not big enough for all the egos - including those incoming - perhaps?

    I thought there'd be more discussion of this here.

    Glancing at his responsibilities, which include vague portfolios touching umpiring, mystery operations, ball-tracking technology and other things, you'd have to say his time at the palace hasn't been a success. I do wonder to what extent it is his own failures and to what extent he was simply handed the [censored] bags to carry.

    If there's any possibility he'll get cranky and spill on all the trash going on at AFLHQ, I'd be keen. Could Demonland invite him for the 'great historic podcast which brings down the regime'?

    First lets get him back as Football Manager...he's very good in the role.

    • 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.Ā

    • 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.
