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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
