Rohan Connolly on Monday

Poor effort from RC this am slinging off at Melbourne supporters for jeering Nick Reiwoldt.

He suggests the treatment was hopefully born of envy rather than spite.

How about disgust at that appalling staging effort boxhead?

It was also a reminder to that fool who paid the free how bad it was.

Honestly, some of these journalists are so far inside the bubble they just don't get it.

And to think Rohan used to be the one who best represented supporters: that hasn't been the case for 10 years I

know but there was a time when he was in touch.

Let's hope he keeps his high minded ways the next time his Bomber mates go ape.

 

Rooey was sickening. It's what he does week in week out. I like to think he's talented enough to not resort to that garbage.

Dees fans were booing Riewoldt because he appealed for, and got, a dodgy free.

 

It's sad when certain media people like Connolly have to bag our club, in order to make their name more mainstream.

Connolly is irrelevant as a journo and relatively unknown to the majority of the public, yet by bagging out the MFC day in day out, he gets his name out there.

I guess that is the nature of the beast these days and it's pathetic.

Mind you, on SEN yesterday, Connolly was much kinder to the MFC players. He spent some time questioning why the media gives Jack Watts such a hard time while leaving another #1 draft pick, Kreuzer, alone. He also made it clear that he believes the club has not physically developed players well enough so that Watts is still too under-developed physically to play CHF.

saw a worse acting effort by one of OUR players

We pay our money, we go for Melbourne. Ok I get you can't be racist, homophobic, swear repeated etc but I believe in my right to boo Riewoldt when I want and how I want whether its his 250th or not. And Kosi and Montagna and the little tip rat if he was out there.

Ha, little Nicky has to be one of the biggest stagers and sookers going around.

He may be a damn good player, but he got towelled by Tom Mac on Saturday, was getting annoyed, so tried to milk pathetic, weak free kicks.

He deserved a jeer. This is footy, not ballet.

Sounds like the moron behind me at the game who pleaded we don't abuse Nick, but then unleashed a long period of abuse on Jack Watts, calling him everything from weak, to a princess and other such things. Nice.

I suppose Connolly didn't want Melbourne supporters to protest when Dawes got smacked in the head for no free either?

True but the umpire didn't fall for that one thankfully, maybe our player will learn something from that.

hope he does,

theres gotta be something good come from season


We all know why we were booing Riewoldt.

He's a champion, and well done on playing 250 games.

But that episode of flailing his arms around for a free kick that not only wasn't there, but should have gone against him, was disgraceful, and incited the booing.

Was a staging or flopping rule introduced the other year.......or has that somehow disappeared?

It was a terrible decision. The funny thing was that when he heard the whistle NW's immediate reaction was to start remonstrating with the ump as he assumed it had gone to TMac. Imagine his surprise.

  • 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.
