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.

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

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 me

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!!

Aww yeah

.. a bit of a closer replay shown about a minute later.

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?

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.

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.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
