Half time scuffle


Chris

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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 . . .

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 :)

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 !!

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 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

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
