I'm still waiting for any journo to talk about Tanner Bruhn and his mystery injury. Fascinating how much control Geelong have over the media.

Ahhh... the mysteries and intrigue that surround Midsomer-Barton ......

    You'd reckon it would get some coverage in the digital media.

    I believe as this is a criminal case, there is a lot that can't be written in the media until his case goes to trial. So it's a legal matter.

    Still, lets remember that journalists don't reside in Geelong, and anyone who does is a mad Cats fan. So who is filming or reporting players doing naughty things in the bubble of Geelong? Nobody. That really helps when players behave badly.

    You can't tell me that ol' Smithy was caught more than once on camera doing the nose snow while at the Dogs, but has totally changed his ways since moving to the farm... please!

    He was very happy for Steven King though.

    Gave him a glowing reference apparently.

    I despise Chris Scott, but the man knows success.

    It was certainly made before King's appointment. As have all these list decisions.

    You would expect he was told in his exit interview, but it's only coming out now.

    (Actually, it's not even only coming out now, this was being floated in the media nearly a month ago. Looks like the club/May are being a bit more proactive, perhaps hoping they'll get a few more bites.)

    Nothing to do with King.

    I forced myself to watch Chris Scotts weekly presser. Not one question about Smith or his own actions recently. Absolutely pathetic, but not surprising from the media. They are all scared of him.

    He was very happy for Steven King though.

    Kings appointment has even made the Geelong Advertiser.....dont ask what I am doing reading that

    I remember Malthouse being all praise for Neeld too.

    Not saying King is a Neeld but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

    Please update us regarding this

    I told him Demon supporters happy with King, he came back with typical satisfied with 2nd best, so couldn’t resist the Buckley turned premiership team into a losing team. But he was then onto Guerra missing on Essendon CEO role, so just had to laugh!

    Am I in the minority in saying that King should not be involved with Geelong?

    The minute you are appointed as coach of the Melbourne Football Club, Geelong and the other 16 teams are instantly a rival.

    Doing Geelong any form of favour is in contrast to the fiercely competitive elite clubs who don’t have room for niceties. See Sam Mitchell.

    Do we then end up with a world where you can’t talk to/interview assistants until their season is over?

    I would hate if a dees assistant left in the middle of a finals campaign.

    Play on.

    Absolutely spot on.

    The minute he was appointed with the MFC job, he became a Melbourne man. The guy was so clearly elated and proud to have won the job. And then he goes back to enemy territory.

    It’s just a bit weird.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
