When sitting in my seat at the MCG watching the umpires continue to give the Demons a hard time, I became amused when a person yelled - bring back Darren Goldspink.

Well, this fan has his wish. According to SEN, he is back and will be officiating the Melbourne vs Adelaide game. Let's just hope he gives us a fair go.

Good luck Darren and welcome back.

cant do as bad a job as mclaren. i swear that man umpires as if he has never watched a game of footy in his life and is trying to interpert the rules as he goes. he doesnt have any feeling for the game at all. for an umpire who is supposed to be experienced he really comes across as someone who wants to be in the spotlight, who loves controling things and who doesnt quite understand the jist of the rules. he might know them well enough but he doesnt have that feeling for them to know when to apply them.

in all honesty, i think the umpires should go back to having no numbers, their names not mentioned anywhere. by giving the umpires personality the afl has made them individuals, while the umpires should actually be just one entity. what happens to players with personalities? we love to hate em. we dont need any other reason to hate umpires so why single them out?

worst part is, goldspink rewards the teams that are disciplined and straight down the line, no backchat etc. which is exactly what we have not done this year, and on the weekend, despite me still thinking mclaren is a ..., was probably our least discplined performance. if it is repeated on the weekend and the crows don't do anythign silly, goldspink will haunt us.

Pinky Spinky....

Neale... give Aaron special instructions.... You can go anywhere on the ground as long as you have a KP player like Neitz between you and Goldspink... Be warned Aaron that if he gets so much as a sniff of you:

First - He'll pay a free against you for waving to your Mum...

Second - He'll pay fifty for having a "disrespectful look" on your face...

Third - He'll report you for Grievous Bodily Harm after you try to pluck out his eyeballs with the blunt end of his whistle while screaming "HERE DARREN!!! LET ME IMPROVE YOUR EYESIGHT!!!!"

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
