Deja vu

A TO-DO between feisty Labor MP Kirstie Marshall and a cabbie outside Crown money bin last Friday has not passed unnoticed among Melbourne Demons fans, who recall the parliamentary breastfeeder's cracks at their gallant, albeit temporarily errant, captain David Neitz after he wrangled with a cabbie at the same venue in 2003.

Back then Marshall barked: "To me it means you need serious help . . . get a therapist."

Yesterday her office told The Age that "an incident" occurred on Friday and that Marshall had filed a complaint. However, a radio report hinted that the blame was not entirely one-sided. Quipped one prominent Dee-boy: "If a therapist can help sort this out I'd be happy to recommend one."

    Hasn't seen this yet today but that's hilarious.

    Didn't she say Neitz should have been sacked or at least sacked as Captain at the time?

    Maybe she should resign from Parliament.

    Here we go, she suggested: "The sponsors should be jumping up and down and saying this is not on...without a doubt they should walk away".

    Wow, now Kirstie, aside from being a former sportsperson seeking a new source of income by defrauding an electorate of a genuine representative (and she's not the first nor the last sportsperson on either side of politics to be handed this opportunity on a platter - who could forget Mal Meninga's legendary 27 second political career?), it would be entirely hypocritical to not offer her resignation to the Parliament.

    I hope the media give it the sort of coverage they gave Neitz in 2003. After all, if he is to be held up to a higher standard because he is a footballer, surely she should be held to equal or higher standing as she is a democratically elected member of Parliament.

    Agree, but she won't and it'll get swept under the table by her party's publicity dept.

    Just out of interest what has she allegedly done?

    That's completely irrelevant and that question is totally against the spirit of the thread ;)

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
