Time to get filthy

Featured Replies

Who gives a rats if we get one-week suspensions this week? We're going to lose next week anyway.

I want Mitch Robinson knocked out.

I want blood.

I want Lynden Dunn to snipe for the fun of it.

I want Bull to run over a few Carlton players a la Savage, Shaw.

I want Carlton's sub activated by the end of the first quarter.

Nice VENT, now go and have a soothing Hot Chocolate....Leave the Team Tactics to Mr Viney this week.

He has just put his balls on the line....

A Jack Trengove special on Robinson would go down just fine. Sling away!

 

Bad thread and dumb thought.

Stupid actions on the ground dont make up for some dumber actions off the ground.

He obviously felt emasculated after the Geelong game, and if the above happens vicariously he may recover half a one..


Id just be happy if every player wearing the red & blue on Saturday showed ad much heart as Stynes, Viney & Lyon.

a 7 goal first Quarter would be a better start.

The MFC is a Football Club not a boxing academy run by Johnny Lewis.

Or we could put that effort into our football performance perhaps? I agree somewhat in that we shoulsd throw everything at Carlton this week after last week.

forgive me for them wanting to show something after last week and Carlton labelling us bruise-free earlier this year?

Point taken, but i would prefer to see scoreboard pressure....a win keeps us in the hunt for September.

I'm with the intent of your OP striker, however I'd prefer we don't lose players, but to see the boys playing with real [censored] would make me smile. We know Bull can run blokes down, we know Dunn can be a right pain in the arse, and we know Trenners and Jordie can drive a bloke into the earth with a great tackle. I'll accept all of that, but there's no reason for us to be scumbags like the mob we're about to play.

What would hurt Carlton the most is being crushed by a passionate and hard team that are willing to give anything for the red and blue. And as supporters we should except nothing less.

Correct. The Jumper that Chris Judd should have chosen, but didn't.

I also like the intent of the OP. I agree with what everyone else has said too. BUT remember Hawthorn's "unsociable football" - it just might take a couple to cross the line once or twice in order that the whole team spends most of the game just 'this' side of the line. When an opposition player lines up against Brown, Robinson, Hodge etc... and they have to wait under a high ball, there is something inside their head saying, "I might get cleaned up here. I've seen him do it before..." and there's a chance they don't go as hard. Look at half of our team as an example of this effect!

"Time to get filthy" needs to mean, win contested ball and win tackle count. These are only stats but they are usually definitive. Be a good start, anyway.

Me too

Watching Viney's full press conference i have no doubt that he has read the riot act to the players about their hunger to win the contested ball. At a bare minimum i expect to see a really hard fierce competitive effort on Saturday, regardless of whether we win or lose...

Totally agree that we will see some good contested footy.

It will be very interesting to see the changes to the team. Im tipping the dees for a win and keeping our final hopes alive,

I really wouldn't think thuggish tactics or the reading of the riot act are necessary in these circumstances. The way that events unfolded in the past week should be enough if they have pride in themselves. However, with a tough no nonsense bloke like Todd Viney at the helm I doubt we're going to see players shirking issues if they want to be in the side the following week.

I will be more interested in how the team is set up. I expect it will be a lot different to the past and further, that the uncertainty on this will cause some issues at Carlton.

While I agree with Rhino's point that this is a pretty dumb thread and that mindless violence is not the answer, secretly I hope points 1, 2 and 3 all come together in the one act. Losing Lynden Dunn for the rest of the season through suspension for knocking out Mitch Robinson would put me in a happy place.

100% correct, but we never seem to get this do we?

I don't necessarily want blood. But I get what your saying Striker. When a club comes out and calls says you play bruise free football it's embarrassing. Time for some of the playing group to step up and play some hard football. Just do it legally.

He has done nothing of the sort. He doesn't want to coach full time. He's helping out.

You are wrong.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
