what about the watts incident the other week. Watts ran back with the play for the spoil, made contact with the ball, and then lightly bumped the oppositions head with his arm, barley moving the bloke, gives away a free kick when he wasn't late and made contact on the ball, where as peders gets his his nose smashed pretty severely really, and no repercussions.

Cant wait for peders to come across merret next season.

Typical

Insider mates-looking-after

Dismissive of Melbourne (who are they anyway?)

MRP attempt at black humour ( should that be African-American ?)

Glossed over putridity

Not exactly the first time

Merret's was much better disguised than the Dawes whack.

Dawes should watch it over and over again so he can become better at it.

Better disguised ? If anything Dawes hit was more innocuous than Merret's.

Again - rub out both of them for their incidents or rub out neither - the inconsistency is appalling.

Is this a real post McQueen? Better disguised alright - couldn't see it through Pedersen's nose which was smeared all over his face.

It should not be a contest in who did a better job of pretending not to punch the other bloke in the face. It should be black and white.

What was in Merrett's favour was the fact that you cannot actually tell whether he is looking at the ball or Pederson because of the angle between them. They therefore give the benefit of the doubt.

If the ball was coming from over Merrett's shoulder it would obviously have been very different.

To me that should just be the difference between "intentional" and "reckless", not the difference between "he did it" and "he didn't do it."

I would hope that 90% of people that know anything about football and Merrett know that it was no accident.

But being categorically sure, with the video as proof, that that is the case, is impossible.

Before we play the Lions again next year I want them to replay the incedent over and over to the players. I want them to be angry that they (MRP and the players) let Merrett get away with it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
