Martin Boulton article on the Trengove appeal in today's Age has a final quote from Scott backing the verdict. No vested interest at all of course. Must be running scared that Trenners will carve them up. Hopefully this fires boys up even more - norf really have this sense that they own us and will beat us any place, any where, any time. Screw that, unleash hell lads.

    Brad Scott is a peanut. Fighting to make his club and himself relevant. Losing battle.

    I honestly think North will either be merged, Tasmanian or dead within five years. Staying in Melbourne has always been a losing battle for them.

    Unfortunate, but it's the way it is.

    Yeah he was on SEN saying something like it was a completely unfair tackle resulting in an injured player and he saw no reason for even argument and Melbourne should just get on with it.....well see you on Sunday Bwad.

    Don't know about you, but I'll be seeing him on Saturday.

    Persoanlly I didnt think that's what he was saying, at least going by what was shown on the hundreds of news reports about it. Rather I took it as him saying don't take it out on the MRP, but rather subtly hinting it was the fault of the laws comittee and the AFL for introducing the rule.

    That's how I read what he was saying.

    I was more incensed that Wayne Schimmelbusch got to make the decision before a Demons / Roos game.

    Correct, that is what he said. Actually somewhat helpful as it is another person saying the rule is wrong.

    We're North. We're 15th and nobody barracks for us.

    We better smash them into the turf or I'm going to lose my junk

    Why doesn't Patrick Dangerfield come out and support Trengove? Too much pride I would have thought.

  • Quote

    My opinion of Sam Mitchell has just risen enormously; that's really puttin' 'em on the line!

    No surprise really.

    The players would even more confused than they usually are.

    Can't pin an arm and try to stop them kicking it? So I have to attack the hips, forget about the arm and let them handball?

    It really was the 'perfect tackle' but Dangerfield couldn't care less about his own safety and brought his own imbalance and his own concussion.

    Two players contributed to a concussion - I say Trengove started the action, and Dangerfield made it into the 'attack' that Faptrick Smith calls it...

    Jack the Patsy...

    That's exactly what I want to know.

    If he comes out and supports Trengove that could be very important in getting him off.

    The best thing he can do by 5.30pm this arvo is be named in the Crows lineup at 5pm...

    Correct

    The best thing we can do is win the next 3 games regardless, that's what good clubs would do and it's time we did it.

    I have the greatest respect for Wayne Schimmelbusch as well and no doubt his allegiance to Norf had nothing to do with his decision but whatever happened to the principle about "justice seeing to be done".

    As a former player of the club agaisnt who the Dees are playing this week, should he not have removed himself from the tribunal?

    I see where you're going with this. Interesting. Winning games...they get you into the finals! And that's where Flags are won!

    But we must find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon...

    We found it?!

    It's all falling into place...

    I know you are saying "good teams get on with it."

    But the rest of us are saying "good teams don't let political [censored] steal one of our players for three weeks as an example."

  • Quote

    I've never liked Brad Scott. He just seems like a bit of a [censored].

    Agreed. I'm glad Bailey doesn't go out of his way to comment on the afl politics with the media like B.Scott does.

    God I hope we smash them this week.

    Couldn't believe my eyes this morning when reading the hun when there is Brad Scott whining that Melbourne can't use injuries or suspensions as an excuse when they've ( kangaroos ) have had players unavailable all year. What is it with this club ? Just worry about what you're doing Kangaroos and stop worrying about us. Last years whinging was bad enough

    I would rather be the ones continuously whinged about than the whingers....

    North Melbourne = Irrelevant..

  • Quote

    Although Scott's whining can often drown out a 747 I like it. I like seeing that increasingly irrelevant club put up it's hand in a vain hope somebody will notice it.

    Whine away Nth. Mention us all you want. Cry about how people care about what we do and nobody - even your supporters - cares about what you do. Stamp your foot and complain that you are the Port of the Victorian teams but without the history. Want to be us while realising you will never be able to.

    It's as predictable as it is funny.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
