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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
