Caro Verbosis Interruptus
Factually incorrect, I'm afraid. Caroline Wilson has been a Sports Journalist for 40 years including 18 years as chief football writer at 'The Age'. She has also appeared on radio and TV and has won several awards for her journalism. These are facts, not opinion.

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
MFCVM.

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
Their percentage would have dropped slightly. I'm tempted to say "by a whisker".

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
I said he wouldn't receive LESS than two weeks in response to those sooks who posted he'll only get a week and be back for our game because everything's stacked against us. Four sounds right to me.

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
Never let it be said that I'm an apologist for the AFL, sue. I'm talking about that whiny element of our supporter base who tell themselves (and us) that Melbourne get picked on and treated more unfairly than other clubs.

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
It seems that MFCSS has mutated and there is now a strain called MFCVM (Melbourne Football Club Victim Mentality) which manifests itself by sooking about the umpires being against us, the AFL working to bring us down, the media having a vendetta against us and the MRP handing down decisions which are not in our favour. There is no chance of Tom Stewart receiving any less than two weeks for that hit.

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Won't even play for me, nor the highlights on the AFL site. Just getting the spinning wheel of death.

Caro Verbosis Interruptus
Younger posters may not be aware that when Caro was growing up, her father, Ian "Octa" Wilson, was Richmond president and a very powerful man in the football world. She has always had an excellent list of contacts in the industry and her sources are usually sound. I think some people criticise her journalism on the basis that they don't care for her personally. I get that she can be abrasive and tends to be soft on her beloved Tigers, but her articles are on the money more often than not.

Poll - If Not Melbourne For Premiers?
Looks like about 50% support for Freo and some love for St Kilda, Gold Coast and Brisbane. Nobody has voted for Collingwood or Richmond which is heartening. Those outliers who have nominated Carlton and Geelong should be thankful that their vote is anonymous.

TEAMS: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
I know just the place. They're having a sale, too!

Poll - If Not Melbourne For Premiers?
In the unlikely event that Melbourne don't win the flag this year, who would you like to see as Premiers? I've only included those teams that I think still have a chance at this stage of the season. My preference would be Fremantle because they've never won one, followed by Gold Coast then Brisbane. Voters are anonymous so don't be afraid to add your choice.

Could Josh Frydenberg be the new AFL CEO?
You'd reckon that Port Adelaide might be a bit nervous about the colours on their jumper. Apparently Mr. Frydenberg isn't particularly keen on teal at this point in time.

De Goey would think that Gregorian was a reference to the Chappell brothers.

Thank you so much for this wonderful euphemism which is a new one to me and shall be filed for future use.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Hassa wasn't from the West. He was recruited from Rutherglen and was a Merbein boy. He was my first footy idol and I had his number 29 on my first ever Demons jumper!
