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

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
