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!

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 l

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!!

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.

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.

Yep I need to see this

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.

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 :)

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

Is Gus

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

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
