Completely agree.

The supporters are no better than the players.

Mind you doesn't the H-Sun love it.

Friday front page....Collingwood player on aggravated assault charge.

Possible Sunday front page...Pies Fans etc etc.

What is it with that Club anyway?

For those of you old enough to remember Victoria Park was the worst ground to go to for ferals.

It boggles the mind.

All I can say is thank God the dogs were arrested. I would absolutely assume they would be locked away for a while, stripped of any kind of membership, and banned from any of the grounds. No room for human garbage like this anywhere in our society other than jail cells.

Hopefully they are made an example of in the same way that Richmond spitter was a few years ago. If it's not given the airtime the Barassi bashing was given, then it should be.

I saw the last stages of it, already a big crowd there and it was sickening at how they were laying into him. As I said in another post, I did't know how it started but given this clarity of the report I now know what was actually happening before my eyes in the very last stages of the brawl - scumbags!

I was going to post about this earlier. We were walking outside gate 4 when it occurred. Scum Collingwood supporters were saying that Jones started it, which isn't possible. A disgrace to take my wife, and two young kids to feel threatened. My wife doesn't want to go to a collingwood game anymore - that's sad.

On another note, they won the game by 50 points and still booed the umpires all the way off the ground. What a pile of scumbags they really are.

Good or bad news, if it involves Collingwood it sells papers, sad really.

Unbelievable, really. Unfortunately, it will be something that the likes of his son Zac, 14, will never forget - as well as those who witnessed it.

Whilst terrible news, it was somewhat pleasing to read that these thugs copped abuse from other Pies and Demons fans as they were being arrested.

I wish Mr.Jones a speedy recovery.

Just the tonic the Dees need for the Queens Birthday clash. Only 9 weeks away.

Jimmy just keeps on impressing me. His response to this terrible event shows true class - MFC is in good hands. Bravo. It must be so hard for parents of AFL players to attend matches and listen to their sons being abused by supporters of the club and opposition alike. Maybe MFC can be proactive in this matter by providing seats in a MFC area e.g where injured players sit.

What sick pricks.

If the allegations are correct then this is truly disgusting and truly dampens any happiness that Collingw&%$ would have otherwise felt today.

I wish Mr. Jones a speedy recovery.

Poor man. I hope he gets over this soon. What a terrible thing for his son to witness. Was this long after the game? We left by gate 4 and sat in the car, which wasn't far away, for a while. I did see the police van coming over, but I just assumed they were picking up someone who might have been picked up earlier.

This is horrible news. I have to wonder if it was the same three thugs who had a go at one of the cheer squad members (who is disabled). Three adult males up against one disabled person. Where was security? He was watching the whole thing, smirking. I am sure the cameras picked up the incident, it might be worth watching.

Fortunately, the cheer squad moved the person away from the troublemakers, and put someone in his seat who was more able to take the $&% these guys were dishing out. It still leaves a sour taste, and I must say that there is usually trouble at a Collingwood game, the supporters seem to think it is ok to lash out at whoever is around them, whether they are winning or losing. The last game I went to, I had to call security over because several little darlings had armed themselves with laser pointers and were flashing them in the eyes of our guys when they were lining up for a goal.

I hate Collingwood games.

I don't normally come onto other team boards, but as a Collingwood Supporter and Member I'm disgusted by these gutless cowardly thugs.

I sincerely hope that Brad Jones and his young son will be ok.

I hope that these gutless wonders are dealt with by the full extent of the law and that if they are members of Collingwood that their Memberships are revoked and that they are banned for life from attending ANY football match.

There's never any excuse for violence.

What the hell were the crowd doing? Barracking? Pathetic.

A voice of reason. Thank you for your message.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
