    To be fair, the bathwater back then was likely rife with Tuberculosis and other nasties. 

    In 1901 you can add in bubonic plague which first appeared in (I know you guessed it) the suburb of Collingwood.

    Wow.... you can now place kick the ball while being tackled and not be pinged!?????

    And not one commentator remarked on it. A clear free to the Saints that resulted in a crucial Geelong goal. Just dreadful umpiring.

    Saints have lost their last 12 matches at Geelong’s home ground.

    Glad we finally got passed over to play down there this year.

    Did the filth?

    Probably not .

    as if the filth would go down there

    edit: last three times the puddy tatts hosted the filth was in 1999, then 95, and before that 91

    richmond are furious that they've been scheduled down there this year for the first time in seven years

    before that they'd not been there for half a decade before that

    it's only the minnow melbourne clubs - us, footscray, aints, north - who get shunted down the highway on a regular basis

    Yep. In reality it's really another interstate game.

    I still can’t believe we had to play them down there last year after they won the 22 premiership and we’d won the 21 premiership. A potential blockbuster game player at a stadium under construction. Tells you everything you need to know about those who run the AFL

    and to not have to go there this year we had to accept a pretty crummy fixture of short breaks between games

    the worst thing that happened to our club was being perennially poor on field during the dawn of the tv era

    fixture, not draw

    The 'draw' and the Geelong factor both are corruptions of our game.  The AFL doesn't provide a fair competition, just one to maximise $ (except in the bewildering case mentioned by Kickit to P).  You might think the betting companies would want a fair competition, but you'd be fooling yourself, since they can make money any old way.

    Come on it's Collingwood surely. Even if it wasn't Collingwood before last year it has to be them now.

    We've also been cruelled by our home ground being the game's major stadium. Little coincidence that the MCG becoming home to powerful tenant clubs from Richmond in '65ish coincided with our protracted drought. This means we have no home base, and the most negligible home ground advantage in the league.

    Danger officially joined the thugs club yesterday. The two other players who are in the club are Cox and Maynard.

    We can thank Kate for not going down there this year.

    Huge experience and size difference between West Coast and Port, but West Coast having a red hot crack. They are going to get badly beaten but not by lack of effort or method.

    Does anyone give Freo a chance tonight?

    they’re the last leg of my multi and not sure whether to cash out or not. Lions missing Neale and a couple others

    Port with 28 inside 50s and 19 scoring shots. 

    WC defence doing super

    Port should be up by 60pts

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
