Half time scuffle

Must say I loved the half time scuffle, especially Jones getting up with a massive smile on his face, all the players getting in to stick up for each other, and Viney taking Varcoe and throwing him meters behind the scuffle and continuing on with it. Was definitely a highlight of the day!

    I reckon chunk unsettled pendles a bit with that too

    Was interesting. Gotta wonder if it was Chunk trying to galvanise his team? Would love it if that were the case.

    Pendles was already rattled by the Vandenburg tackle a couple of minutes earlier. Jones rubbed in salt.

    Seems like it was a focus of ours to target Pendles physically. Really tackled him with intent whenever we had the chance, and Jonesy doesn't get into blokes like that unless he has a reason to do so.

    Don't think he dealt with the treatment all that well either.

    That was a delicious tackle. One of them every quarter from here on please, Mr. Vandenberg. Don't even care if you give away the free kick, but I'd be happy to see the Dees playing unsociable football from now on.

    Not a regular visitor to Bigfooty but I like to read the match day threads after we have a good win (so rarely ever)... Anyway there was a whinging Pies supporter calling Jones a thug on there today lol.

    Yeah, all those reports and suspensions are really mounting up...

    Remember what the Collingwood supporters did to his dad? As the old saying goes, people with glass crack pipes shouldn't throw rocks or whatever it is.

    Love me a bit of scuffle though.

    Maybe he was just unleashing some pent up anger about what happened to his dad! :)

    BTW, I hope Dawesy's folks were watching today with the Demon faithful. Didn't like that story last week about them sitting near some abusive Demons fans last week and leaving at 3QT.

    Any footage of the vandenberg tackle?

    Yep I need to see this

    Can't be arsed looking it it up. But time to self-fess whoever it was that said specifically we don't give enough at half time . . .

    Absolutely crunched him (and too high). It was fantastic. I didn't mind that he gave the freekick away, because at least he made Pendles earn it.

    Aww yeah

    .. a bit of a closer replay shown about a minute later.

    The scuffle is on the MFC website.

    Nice to watch Jetta jump on Pendleburys dumb looking head for an easy mark.

    We are learning how to take out the hierarchy of the opposition and see the rest crumble.

    Varcoe has gone from what I thought was a Norm Smith medal winning career high to playing in a rebuild with spuds.

    I would love to see Max rag doll a few beatches next time they want a scuffle.

    The world is turning right.

    Supporters do have a right to pay out on players.

    Dawes earned his bucket 10 times over.

    He is and should be playing for his football life.

    We owe him nothing.

    His parents raised a very nice boy who needs to search for his inner Kent.

    A non marking CHF is not a valuable asset.

    Always fun to ruffle feathers.

    Was an age old tactic when things not running right to start a kerfuffle and get the opponents off their game.

    Fun doing it back :)

    Varcoe dropped some knees into Viney after a tackle towards the start of the game, dog act.

    As soon as the scuffle broke out Viney made a beeline to Varcoe, great stuff!!

    I loved the expression on Nathan's face after it broke up, and also Gus giving the dome a polish as they walked off.

    I reckon Viney went straight to Varcoe as Varcoe had just gutlessly shoved Grimes from behind down into the feet of the pack. Probably roughed him up a bit more thanks to the knees

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
