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!

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.

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 . . .

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.

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.

Is Gus

Is gut !!

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
