Sorry, I think you have the wrong forum here, I have linked the women's netball website for you below

http://netball.com.au/

Now back to the full body contact sport of Australian rules football.

Your underestimating women in sport mate.

Ha! Had never seen the old footage of roller derby. Can Guarantee it is nothing like that now, but it is still tough.

Went to a few of these games at Festival hall many years ago

Aussie T-Birds Vs Texas Outlaws.......It was better than the wrestling

Never really understood comments like this. None of the women I know that play high standard netball are even remotely soft.

Its just netball is suppose to be a non-contact sport. True, I could have used another sport as a reference such as swimming, vollyball, cricket etc.

How will the MFC ever win another flag if those players who play the game hard are not encouaged to do so by the supporters. True they can go too far by king hotting another player hehide the play or taking banned substances.

If the tagging was too much for the boy he could have gotten off the field and let another player take his place.

So why doesn't umpire protect Jones He is scagged every week and is blocked way off the contest illegally in my opinion

The simple answer to that iis becasue it is Nathan Jones, he doesn't whinge or stage, he just hits the next contest

Seems that Adelaide are the only ones who think that what we did was illegal

All players got away with a fine for the melee only

Seems the MRP has missed Vince elbow to Sloans face.

Got away with one

Don't think the hit was actually that high. The replays indicated it was more to the upper body, and not the head...

Dean kent?

I was sure there was a reply at one stage that showed a Vince elbow to Sloans head. It was an attempt bump/sheppard in down low in a pack.

Maybe not???

Nice for once to hear that the MRP didn't see every little incident through our opponents' eyes.

Was worried that TMac may have been cited for forcible contact with his body to Tex's elbow behind the play.

Watching 360 now - Roos played a fairly straight bat to Walsh's comments but seemed a bit bemused by them. I have a sneaky feeling that Buckley is not a Walsh fan either. Said something about Scott Burns working with him in past and knowing what he's like - smirk on face and all.

Sloane was on mmm rush hour this arvo and said in the past vince has actually played like that before and he played well and good on him for playing the way he did.

But my worry now is this week the umpires will be watching vince a lot more closely and just pay free kicks against him.

Posted

Roosy isn't so silly as to have Vince tag twice in a row. He'll give that responsibility to another player as the umps will be focused on Vince.

I repeatedly have to correct the basketballer = sook shorthand that people here seem to get off on as well...

Looks like Phil Walsh still gave Bernie a vote in the AFLCA voting.

Heritier and Bernie both got 2, no one received 1.

Edit: Logic flawed, I am probably wrong.

Doesn't mean he got one from each. Couple ways that could happen.

For example, If Roosy gave Bernie 2, and Roosy and Walsh gave the same player 1, there wouldn't be anyone on 1 vote, but potentially 3 players on 2.

Depends on what the other votes look like.

Hes a gun and he might be the only MFC player in our history to have 40 possessions and 3 goals in the same game (vs North last year)

Anyone know if any other Demon has done it besides Bernie?

Closest I can think of is C Sylvia v Hawthorn with 37 touches and 4 goals.

Peel got a bargain.

didn't the trapper rack up 40+ possessions in the kreuzer cup?

Correct. I believe he also had 35 and 4 in that epic semi against Adelaide in 2002.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
