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.

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...

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

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...

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?

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 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."

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

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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
