Setting the Tone

thoughts on Beamer and Jones cleaning up Buddy at the start of the match... i thought it was great... set the tone for the rest of the side... Jones gave the free away, but it showed we had come to play and that hawthorn would have to earn their kicks...

something you don't see happen much in footy anymore...

 

Fantastic way to start against the Tassie Hacks... !

things like that make you go to the footy.. and make you stay even when you lose as you know they are seriously having a crack...

even thought we lost how much prode did you guys feel then the first few games..i couldnt find a big enough rock to hide under..

i think everyone had a dip today .. it just showed you what they are capable of.. and in some cases what they arent capable of...

 

anyone have fottage of some of that stuff? i was at the ground but up the other end, it was very clear...

who normally do the videos around here? perhaps a highlights package is in order of some of the bumps and tackles, some of the unrewarded decisions and the 50meters so we can have another look? lol


but i think it mgiht have been made by the hawks. someone should put the good melb bits on there...

Carroll did this a while back and got flogged by most on here. I thought both were great!

Woul dlove to see it! Also I noticed that C7 recorded Neita's pre game address, that would be gold to get!!!

 

ewok,

think that because carroll did it and then cannot back it up by playing tough, that they dont rate him....

whereas both jones and moloney are both hard and will put their heads over the ball when required to do so....

difference in toughness!!


would make one but i dont know where to get the footage and dont have a lot of time

madness...melb 2007? u guys might know how to?

No its not tough. Its bulls**t.

Not so. Carroll plays tough.

Carroll copped ridicule because he played the tough stuff at the start of the game, then the team got absolutely flogged. And it doesn't help that he looks like a mass murderer.

If the MFC had got flogged on Sunday, Jones and Molone would have looked as stupid as Carroll usually has.

Get a grip.

The point is aggression , intimidation and letting the opposition know we wont be pushed around is what most melb supporters want. Hawthorn are one of the toughest sides around and on Sunday we served it up to them. I was very proud of the entire team on Sunday and you can`t ask for much more than that.

My point is, you weren't there, and in another thread you said you didn't see the game, now you're passing judgement on something that happened which makes your post irrelevant

Hey deanox. Here it is on bigpond video http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/49217

At the game I thought we had targeted franklin as a premeditated plan but looking at the replay it shows Jamar copping one in the center, Jones helped out with some muscle, the ball makes it way to hawks forward line where after a clearing kick from Moloney, franklin takes him down, Moloney gets up and takes franklin down with payback, franklin gets up and Jones sits him back down again hard.

Good tough stuff!! Was great to see at the time, spine tingling excitement, and more so now that I know we were looking after ourselves physically, stamping ourselves on the game after an attempt to rough us up, I was straight up and out of my seat with excitement

And while your looking at that check out Dean Baileys press conference http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/49633. He alludes to the lack of reward from the umpires from our tackling efforts.

Love the explanations too "If a couple of things had gone our way"... "I thought our guys tackled well, pinned the arms, 180°'s, 320°'s, 720°'s occurred and I thought they might have been rewarded"

Good to see and hear Dean sticking up for our guys in the media in such a calm yet determined and focussed manner.

The journey has begun and it is going to be a really fun ride

I'm flattered you follow my posts.

No its not tough. Its bulls**t.

Basically what Aaron Hamill did his whole career.

I definitely saw the irony in the Steve Johnson clash which basically ruined his career

  • 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.

    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.
