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

Thats how I saw it as well. Varcoe pushed grimes into the scuffle and Viney didnt like it and let him know. Varcoe wanted to go on with it after it broke up so I assume Viney may have let him know about it during the wrestle.

I thought the Viney tackle at the start of the fourth quarter was even better and I'm pretty sure there was no apology.

Hi Reverend I was thinking of you Saturday as a couple of friends and I knocked over a bottle of JW Black.

Did you partake of a wee dram?

Several drams of Canadian Club Classic 12 Year Old in fact. Sometimes I'm tempted by the colonial interpretations. This one is a particularly smooth and tasty drop.

It was a memorable and satisfying occasion, was it not?

Yes it was.

Sadly I cannot say that one has passed my lips Reverend.

I need a replacement should I buy?

Vanders apologised after that tackle...

F-ing drop him.

Sick of these MFC apologists.

Saw that too. Has Vanders got some insight into who next year's A+ midfield recruit is???

Jeffrey Dahmer apologised, too.

Jones getting stuck into Pendlebury just minutes after the hit he copped from VandenBerg was a bit of a statement and just about the most ruthless thing I've seen from a Melbourne player in a long time.

Loved it. More please.

When we beat teams* it is because we bring a bit of mongrel to the game. Not sniping, Hawthorn mongrel, but hard, 'if you want that ball it'll cost you a couple of bruises mongrel. That's what needs to be consistent. We look so much the better side when the mindset is 'That's our ball you have there, boyo. You'd better give it back if you know what is good for you'.

I love it. Takes me back to the oh so close Northey years.

*except the Bears, who still would have found a way to lose to us even if we forgot to turn up that day.

I would recommend it as an occasional diversion from the single malts.

What I was disappointed to see from Vanders upon watching the replay the other day, was that he actually apologised straight away for the tackle on Pendles. I want us to play unsociable, tough footy. Don't apologise, just go them and shake hands later. I like that Jones seemed to sense Pendlebury was sore and went for him.

And we're still yet to have a single suspension for the year. Is this unusual?

It's an absolute disgrace.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
