Filth are getting away with a lot tonight, the fend off to the face, the throw backwards in the F50, arm being by held as the hawk player led, then Cloke throwing lake out of the way.

Cloke/Lake was a contest, nothing in that. Both sides getting some interesting decisions and getting away with a few throws.

Cloke has a license to throw people out of the way - he just did it in general play to a player who clearly did not have to ball. Should have been clear to the umpires.

That was blatant, the umpire mustn't have believed what he was seeing.

I wish Cloke had of been kicking like he is tonight against us. You just knew he was going to miss that easy one the way he sighted it.

Yes was thinking that myself. What was it 7.0 for Cloke against us. Against the Dawks what is he 1.5 FCS. The Pies are playing all over the Dawks but can't buy a goal. The Dawks are playing in cameos and still leading and you know it is just a matter of time for it all to clicks. They should be 4 goals down.

Seems to have licence to kick people in the face as well.

Classy start to the round. Parker does a corky and is getting help from the Swans medico, before Broadbent comes along, looks down at Luke's leg (which Parker's inspecting and explaining to the medico), then proceeds to start bumping him in the hip over and over again while play resumes.

Disgusting and pathetic behaviour that deserves a minimum 2 week sanction, IMHO. It's certainly fired up the Swans, because from scores level they've kicked truly four times in a row and Port have fallen in a heap.

After Mitch Robinson faking an injury in order to get space to go 3rd man up the other week, Broadbent may just use a defence of he was just closely checking Parker to make sure he didn't do the same thing?

Yep how good is our sport when 2 teams can come together like that after playing each other for 2 hours. Great stuff by Clarko and Bucks. I love our game. That image will be beamed around the world.

Apparently at the nrl game tonight they did have a minutes silence and they stayed silent for the whole minute.

Ridiculous comment... there was no way that was a deliberate act. If anything the Collingwopd player ran straight into his foot. A footballing accident and nothing more.

Two sons of former Melbourne players debut for Collingwood tonight. Darcy Moore and Braydon Maynard. Sons of Peter Moore and Peter Maynard.

Just saw this.

Interested to know how pendles compares to robbie flower as a player, i was too young to remember tulip

The game has changed a lot since then. Flower played mostly out wide on the wing and was a link man type as was played then. The modern version would be an outside midfileder. Had great skills, got a lot of the ball and won most of 1 to 1 contests. Unlike Pendlebury, his game had little influence on our fortunes as we were pretty shyte everywhere else. His career was just about finished when we started getting good in 1987.

Interesting, I was going to post the Robbie name but held back on it. There are similarities, in the balance and poise with ball in hand.

I wish Pendles was one of ours, even as a Pies player he is a joy to watch as Robbie was.

No comparison young fella.

Flower by the length of the MCG.

Thanks Fork

that's the best compilation by far i've ever seen

we should sticky it as "Robbie Flower Tribute" (mods?)

as any one can see a totally different (and better) player than pendles

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
