As I understand it, this was tweeted during the first quarter.

    He's referring to Paul Roos making excuses in last weeks presser. We already know David King hates Paul Roos.

    Worst special comments man of all time

    The way he over analyzes the game is just embarrassing

    Just watched the first half on TV.  Viney, Gawn and Lamumba our best so far.  Salem also having an impact.  It's so much easier to see this stuff on a big screen. 

    Also six goals to North directly from frees so far.  I think one of them might have been a real free too.

    The way HE analyses the game is pretty rudimentary but there needs to be more analysis in the media. At least he's having a go.

    I don't mind him or it, he is never afraid to call it as it is and people sook up because they often don't like hearing the truth about their respective football clubs.

    I'd like him more if he wore suits that actually fitted him

    To be fair, from what I can tell 50% of the people here are blaming the umpires. So seems he was spot on. :P

    I have read a few of your posts and I think you are simply trolling.

    if it has " :P " then it is usually a joke, if it does not then usually I mean what i said. Besides although i said that in jest, you have to admit there are a few that seem to be a little too conserned by the umpires on the weekend, they didnt help but they didnt cost us i dont think.

    I always thought he seemed terribly anti-Melbourne too, but maybe he's just objectively a good judge - after all, we have actually been pus for the best part of a decade. Could be a good sign!

    First impressions are, more often than not, correct Nasher. Over the past few years Healy has never missed an opportunity to put the boots into us when we were at our lowest. If he drove past 4 blokes kicking the poo out of someone on the ground he would turn the car around and push his way to the front of the queue if the bloke in the foetal position was the MFC. 

    The only positive I take from his mild backtracking is that he can see fight in the prone body and he is trying to put some distance between him and his past behaviour.

    G. Healy is a [censored]'s [censored]

    Was that our ex captain you are referring to or his turn coat brother?

    I'm not a huge fan of David King, but i kind of agree with him, some of the things i hate most about listening to Roosy speak are the willingness to shift the blame, the players are mentally scarred, the fans are mentally scarred, victim mentality, losing mentality is ingrained, 

    having said that he would have looked like a tool if we'd managed to snag one more goal and got over the line.

    I gather he would have sent this around qtr time? He would have been framing up the week ahead, at the same time supporting his own argument about the Roos-Goodwin handover.  

    Rest assured he'll put this on the back burner for another week, waiting for a performance to support his claims.

    I think you are 100% correct.

    Re-watching the game, still feel the same way about the umpiring.

     

    absolutely rubbish, bordering on cheating.

    The free kick against Gawn in the middle to Goldstein was one of the worst for the day for me.

    I've seen two shockers in the first quarter.. Viney gets absolutely smashed, clear free kick and Kent comes in to get into Firrito about it, pushes him in the chest, he falls over, and the free is reversed.. even Firrito looked like he couldn't believe it.

    If North copped what we did on Sunday, Scott would have gone through the glass in the Coaches box and then dump on the umpires in his Press Conference.

    We remained very quiet on the issue.

    Wait until you get to the Goldstein free in the ruck, 20 out, when he is behind Gawn and puts his hands on Gawn's neck and back. The commentators were dumbfounded, as was our Captain. Take just that free back and we win.

    I've always wondered what happens there, can the club put in a complaint or something? the game was clearly decided by poor umpiring decisions.

    They generally take it up with the Umpires' boss on a monday review and if they are lucky get an apology for all the wrong decisions.

    Fat lot of good it does.

    Could you imagine if we were one of the big boys, it would have been headline news.

    He was even smart enough to give Ringwood Nissan a plug. If memory serves me correct it's definitely not the first time he's done this in the media for Nissan. Must have got a great deal for himself.

    edit:

    Funny that. Out of curiosity I looked up King's Twitter feed and found this...: -

    Pumped to be on board as a Ringwood Nissan ambassador. Always terrific to be associated with marvellous people. Great wheels!

    Yes RL I looked at that one a number of times and still cant work it out. Was is for blocking or something? There aren't that many rules in the game I can think of that penalize the man in front. Totally absurd decision.

    It was for gawn holding his jumper at the front. At least thats what we deciphered from where we were sitting. I think he was just conserned it had been too long since he had blown his whistle

    Then that shows what an ignorant DH he must be. Dees kicking against an 8 goal wind.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
