Can you smack talk media personalities on the banner or is that not allowed?

Knowing the AFL probably not allowed.

I take it as them saying a player is choosing to walk out on us to join another club and we foolishly bid him farewell and thanks, when we really should be p’d off with him. 

If we were [censored] off the story would be ‘dees mistreat Premiership hero and call his newborn baby slurs’ haha

Not sure why….

Because it makes you feel like smashing it out of the park?

Ray is a Legend…

On the subject of media pile on, back in the old Herald and Weekly Times days their chief football writer was the legendary Alf Brown. Only he was privileged enough to have his own office in the sports department. One day a copy boy took offence to an article Alf wrote about a player whose name now escapes me. On a weekend when the office building was empty he went in there and had a [censored] inside the drawer of Alf’s desk.

Now it’s personal.

I stopped using twitter 6m+ ago but for this I reopened my account, really got up my nose too.

Turned on the paralympics and that maggot Morris was in the host chair.  Makes me want to spew.

Alf Brown

Alf's son Bruce played six senior games for Melbourne in 1971.

He mostly played reserves however and was good enough at that level to be a joint winner of the Gardiner Medal, the VFL seconds version of the Brownlow. 

Bruce then went to Essendon in 1972, but played just the one game for them before moving to the VFA.

Sam Landsberger. RIP. Tremendous loss to the footy world and journalism.  He was not a vulture like other dirt mongers like McClure or Barrett etc. 

He accepted the Neal-Bullen position  “Dees have handled this with maturity and acceptance”. 

He saw the Dees list correctly. “Draft the elite kids. They’ve drafted superbly in the last 10 years.  Stop getting in the Billings and Fullerton types.  Dees can rebound back “.  
 

Noted Jay Clark 💩💩💩try to again spike up the culture issue and the likely loss of Kozzzzy.

Chuckles McRae 🤣🤣🤣 made my day.

Yes a very funny man.  Similar to the Scott brothers 

I sense the spotlight is going to be thrust on Collingwood and Carlton now. Carlton moreso from a playing and FD POV. 

i'll be interested to genuinely see how the media treat Collingwood now - purely to compare whether there is actual bias when it comes to teams. 

They have had a poor season, failing to make finals as a reigning premier. They have had Noble request a trade. But its the back-office too. Particularly the departure of Graham Wright and now the papers are reporting the accusations made against their CEO. It certainly is a comparable situation to MFC.

On the socials … 

Very interesting and absolute hypocrisy by the media today. 
McInerney goes back on with a totally stuffed shoulder, now misses the GF and needs surgery 
Trac does the same thing and MFC doctors are totally vilified by the scumbags in the media!!!
Just want the media to be consistent.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
