Yes the answer is no. FCS stop looking for something that isn’t there. It was an accident and they happen in footy

Absolutely an accident, nothing in it but some people see what they want to see Iften been at games and thought are they actually watching the same game

Casey Demons vs Williamstown
Yep a tragedy of the game. WAFL is close to dead and been on the decline since the Eagles first started. When the comp was getting strong again around 2009-13 they brought in stand alone for the AFL sides and killed it off further. Having said that many in WA are fair weather fans and all they care/know about is the Eagles

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Port made the fatal mistake of going in tall against West Coast particular inside forward 50m It has always been something to avoid against them but even more so now when they have good users by foot across the board. You very much need to play only 2 talls a medium and 3 smalls to lock the ball in and apply ground ball pressure against their defence. The above coupled with the lack of man on man at centre clearances set Port up for failure the other night

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - KYSAIAH KROPINYERI PICKETT
It’s no longer us in the trade revision gun, it’s the Bombers but like us with the Josh Kelly, May for Pick 6 and trading up for Kossie Picket calls, I still think the Bombers have done ok with Cox and Perkins. Jones has shown a bit so far and it’s only very early days. Very happy to have KP, he has tricks that you just can’t teach

My thoughts exactly, like North on Friday they will come hard early. Any midfield with Ward, Coniglio, Kelly, Taranto,Hopper and Greene is going to be up for a fight

The Tragic Story of Rod Owen
Yes I have seen it first hand, previously worked in the Sex Crime area. Whats seen can't be unseen and what's read sometimes has a bigger impact. I became immersed in an investigation that consumed my life more than it should have a few years ago. It impacted me and my family to a point I never thought it would. It was tragic the victims ranged in age from late 30s to late 40s when they came forward and to see the effect it had on their lives and the destruction had a big impact. The offender was a Catholic priest who in the 70s and 80s preyed on vulnerable children and destroyed lives. The actions of the Catholic church we uncovered were deplorable. The bravery of those victims to relive some horrors of their childhood should not be underestimated. The day we knocked on the priest's door was gratifying to look him in the eye and acknowledge we knew what he'd done and they were no longer frightened children, who didn't speak up because they thought they wouldn't be believed. Many of the victims were substance abusers, suffered mental health and were severely effected to a point they will never recover from. The Rod Owen story unfortunately is not isolated

Clayton Oliver Contract negotiations
Yes absolutely, don’t turn this into one of your long running 20 post sagas and don’t let facts get in the way of a whisper, which evolved into your statement Was Clarrie unhappy- yes maybe Was he out of contract - No Did any club offer us anything to take Clarrie -,No Do managers put rumours out 12/18 months in advance of contract negotiations- yes all the time Did any club have the required funds to pay for him - North and Hawthorn did but at trade time nobody else did Did any club have the required compensation to get Clarrie from us-No Would we have let him go for unders - No So yes I’m absolutely saying He was never “close” to leaving last summer.

Your Top 5 Demons Players of All Time
Started following in 1980 when our jumper was Royal blue, which is why I don't mind our current clash jumper. Seen a few glimpses of promise without getting the job done. In the early years Robbie Flower was my hero, Connolly came on the scene and I thought here we go but injury hit him. Viney snr was tough in and under no backward steps and we had Strawbs, Grinter who never took a backward step. Plenty of potential under Danners but we never had the backline or the ability to [censored] teams down when they got momentum. The current crop is very talented gives me hope 1. T. Viney 2. Flower 3. Schwarter 4. Stynes 5. Clarrie

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs GWS
A player on the coin he’s on should relish the challenge to silence the critics Fatigue will come late, but if we set doubt in early mental fatigue will set in I love our defensive set up inside 50 at the moment with Sparrow, ANB Spargo and Kossie all creating defensive pressure as soon as the ball hits the deck. This creates pressure immediately and prevents teams moving the ball cleanly through transition which gives us opportunities to turn it over and set up behind the ball

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs GWS
Beware the Giants this week, they are absolutely copping it in the media, highlighting their players lack of run and accountability. Line in the sand game for them and we need to be very careful not to drink our own bath water this week and get caught up in a dog fight. Kelly, Hopper and Coniglio will come to play. Great opportunity to get a win and get a 2 game buffer on a few teams and set ourselves up. Big test of maturity and ruthlessness, we are favourites. Need to set the tone early that you’re going to run 2 ways, be hard at every contest and set the self preservation and self doubt in on the Giants

Welcome to Demonland: Taj Woewodin
Ive heard differently from both East Freo and Aquinas. Very hard working and driven young man with good skills and decion making. Will watch a bit of him this year in PSA first VIII, my boy is at another PSA school but a bit young for first VIII this season. Woey Snr is one of the new coaches at my boys school so taking a keen interest for several reasons

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda
Great win, think many are underestimating our set up behind the ball, which played a big part in Saints poor disposal. Many times there players had ball in hand and had no free teammates in space, they ran to try and create handball chains but ran into trouble. Gus played his role and we we held our structure well instead of being bees to the honey pot. Spargo is and has always been a smart footballer, Jordan touch of difference, Sparrow does the team thing, smart body position and cool for a young player. Tomlinson works perfectly as the third defender. Lot to like about our ability to get wins and be in control when we we have more improvement in us
