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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
