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: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
