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.

Viney has no fear picking a fight with the older kids in the schoolyard. Love it!

Vanders apologised after that tackle...

F-ing drop him.

Sick of these MFC apologists.

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?

Vineys lucky Pendlebury got up.

Coulda been a coupla weeks on the sideline if not.

And how good's Brayshaw.....

When he gets it, sheet happens.

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???

Vanders apologised after that tackle...

F-ing drop him.

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.

"Sorry mate, your captain's made of paper, he just crumpled"

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.

Yes it was.

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

...... hit em, hurt em, & turn around & get back to position.

much much more of this..... f%^%$^in' Please !!!

$1000 fine for Jones for wrestling. Money well spent I reckon.

only $1000? that's an insult

Yep! Jones knew exactly what he was doing. The grin as he walked off said it all. Leadership statement!!

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

thanks skuit.....you just put the moz on us

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.

It's an absolute disgrace.

Now that the moz is on who are the dollars on? Dunn on Brown would be a good start.
