Indeed - takes his eye off the footy just before the ball is getting to his area and focusses on his opponent, even when Warnock has prime position.

agree on this, it really pizzes me

    Push and shove setting the scene? Just like Carroll used to do? Will never forget him roughing up Riewoldt... 80 odd points later...

    And what is Melbourne fans fascination with jumper-punching? Dunn's tough cause he acts like this at the start of games? Warnock is a competitor for the same reason?

    Trengove is tough because of the way he goes about it when the footy is near, not because of pointless aggro and jumper punching...

    Its amazing how many supporters value a jumper punch or "flying the flag" or wanting some sort of tough agressor type. People dont realise that the players who are tough in AFL are the ones who are tough and uncompromising at the contest. Sniping jumper punchers too often reveal a yellow streak in my book.

    far too worried about where his opponent is in marking contests, doesn't back himself (as he used to) to judge it better and get to the ball first.

    I have been a fan of Warnock over Rivers from early last year. However Matty is struggling for this reason. And I am not sold on Rivers yet at all.

    How can you say that? He has played 2 games this season, 1 where we flogged the opposition and starved them for opportunities and 1 where we were flogged and the defence were continually under pressure for 3 quarters. The guy has been published in the best players in both games, yet he is struggling? And not only that, in his games at Casey, how many goals did he let through? Yeah, it's only Casey, but it's still pretty bloody good form, good enough to give him a recall when the opportunity presented itself.

    He may not be in your top 22, but give the bloke some bloody credit.

    who said anything at all about "jumper punching?"

    matty Warnock and Kurt tippett were involved in a bit of push and shove. I thought matty intimidated tippett to the point tippett went into his shell with no influence !

    there was no mention of jumper punching in my opening post. by all means beat yor own drum.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
