At least that short circuits any accusations Melbourne players were causing trouble at the cricket. Even Blind Freddy could see it was Carlton and Geelong players causing trouble at the cricket.

Its was alll started by a Richmond player (Ricky Petterd) and our innocent players and Geelong's Rivers got sucked in! One wonders whether Frawley is trying to exit himself from the leadership group though?

Don't be angry? Im sorry, when was the last time we won a flag?

Huh?? Please, don't be so damn judgmental. Rivers & Frawley are two of the quieter, better performed players in the league and you want to condemn them for having a few too many?

Move on
 

What were they thinking sitting in that area. Of course they would be tragets. I have no sympathy for them. I not surprised to see dunn there and chip isnt exactly the smartest person going around but im surprised Howe got caught up in it. Couldnt his cousin get him better seats. Im sure Matty wade is proud of his cousin for getting kicked out.

In todays world of social media you cant get away with anything. Its just disappointing after the darwin camp where Im sure neeldy would have drummed a few things into them and he would be furious. I think he is overseas in the states.Well he was the other day. I thnk they will get a talking to.Anyway luckily we arent a big a club as collingwood otherwise this would drag on for days.

But it would had been nice to read in the off season about us training well not getting kicked out boxing day.

Why sit there?!

And I hope Jeremy saw THAT catch of his cousins before getting kicked out, because they won't see much more live cricket I reckon...


I was there sitting just a few rows behind them...Frawley, Howe, Petterd, Rivers, Dunn

1) For the most part of the day they were good value.

2) They drank A LOT

3) By late afternoon they were [censored]

4) I approached Frawley to have a chat and a photo while waiting for some food and he was a complete dick about it.

5) I left with an hour to go and they hadn't been kicked out

Rivers was part of the World Tour with McLean and Carroll where they were once arrested and another time thrown out of a pub or something similar; seems to be the common denominator.

Edit: wrong player

It might be harmless fun and they are just letting a bit of steam off, blah, blah... but whichever way you look at it, it's bad publicity and could have potentially ended up worse. Could they have found a more public place to get very [censored] and look like idiots, then get evicted? Aren't these guys lectured to by the club over and over that they need to behave when out in public and not put themselves in compromising situations?
 

I read the article on News.com.au It seems to me that the spirit amongst our playing group last year and this year is and will be strong.

If past players still mix and are part of the club spirit I see that as a strong sign that things are very good amongst the players at demonland !

Besides its Holidays for the next week or so, not a problem here

Merry Xmas and New Year to all !

Oh no "Melbourne Players Tanked at the MCG" could end up in another series by CW or AFL investigation.


The headlines forgot to mention Carlton and Geelong players also Tanked... gives one a sense of deja vu

4) I approached Frawley to have a chat and a photo while waiting for some food and he was a complete dick about it.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about innocent fun, being on a break, etc. You'd have to think Frawls has handed in his resignation from the leadership group by being part of it?

Gee the AFL have gone to desperate measures to make sure footy stays in the news during summer. Conspiracy I say!

Spirits are very good indeed! No elements of a drinking culture at Melbourne.

Fortunately for us, a Richmond player was involved so Caro will make light of the entire episode.

Seriously though, the MFC players can expect to be disciplined even though we are talking about a relatively low level incident based on the accounts I've heard.


Of all the gin joints in the world........................

incredibly flawed judgement. where could you possibly get more exposure?

Agreed. Knucklehead thinking at best.

I was watching the post tea events on the binoculars and was wondering who the idiots were.

The good part is that the senior knucklehead Rivers is now at another Club, And Petterd showed what a grand addiction he will be the Richmond culture.

Why the hell would you ask for a photo....There are plenty of times for that sort of thing when they are at the club.....They went to the cricket to have some time off with their mates and yes have a few beers like anyone of us.......They are young men...not robots.....Why shouldn't they go to which ever part of the ground they want to.....It's people like you who want autographs and photos and encroach on their time off that start these sort of things.......Why not just leave them alone......

Suspend them for Round 1.

Don't think Neeldy & Co will look fondly on players getting [censored] in Bay 13 and then being ejected from the ground.

I don't know what's more embarrassing. Sitting in Bay 13 or getting that full on midstrength that you carry on and get kicked out.

Bay 13 is OK for a 2.5 Hr game of footy, but, you have to keep things tidy.

Cricket in the hot Sun, hmmnn, maybe not so clever at home @ the 'G'.

Learning the ropes..


Big boys behaving normally perhaps (?), but AFL footballers behaving like silly fools. They'll probably have sore heads this morning, but I expect they'll regret their foolishness more than their headaches.

I hope for their sakes that they are still completing their 2 week break Misson mandated training. Pretty sure yesterday wasn't part of it.

I am in two minds about this . They are stupid for putting themselves in that situation but they are still young blokes. I bet none of you have that kind of scrutiny from your workplace when you are on holiday??

There certainly weren't any rocket scientists amongst them.

Some posters are saying 'oh its good they have comraderie" but I don't buy that. That kind of comraderie got us 186. Chip is a leader at the club. You think he would have tried to keep a lid on things. Hmmmm.

 

If we'd won the flag this year this whole thing would be treated as celebrations and enjoying the success... Hope the players think about that.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
