Is anyone elses head spinning?  Im trying to wrap my head around the awesomeness of what I just witnessed and the fact we have won 2 in a row and we arent a basket case any more and have an insane amount of talent and toughness

This may take some time to process

I fear you are right. Though how a deliberate foul act by Rance can be the same penalty as what Viney did, only the AFL and its stooges can say.

Ranges will get 1, and they can't give Viney the same so he'll probably get nothing. 

I'd be more worried aboutVince's short elbow to the head..

This is unacceptable and Paul Roo's needs to hand over the reigns NOW! How dare he ruin our records that we hold dear.... winning two on the trot is just not on.

I feel strange and don't know how to handle this situation... My dog is behaving oddly and is waiting for my normal end of weekend tourettes. Jeezus!

And Jack Viney get 3 votes for beaning Rance!

Go Dees!

Richmond fans saying he often thumps the ground in frustration... clutching at straws replay shows him looking directly at his head. What a scum bag, why the sympathy for him? I don't know Rance's history.. 

I just read that one.  Classic.

My son has noticed that Rance sometimes punches the ground when the opposition takes a mark on him. If you notice, he was not looking at Watts when he did it. Just wondering perhaps he didn't realise Watt's head was there as he slid over him. Totally out of character, that is why I suggest this even though it seems far fetched.

Rance = Rancid. Sniping reminiscent of Jimmy O'Dea on John Greening. 

 I think I need to you pull you up on that one. Rance was dumb and he will get a little time but he was not thumped behind play and put into a coma.

I'm liking the direction the game seems to be taking. A fair dose of mongrel exhibited amongst the play to go with the new game style.

If the AFL want to preserve the game, please don't sanitise it any further.

The balance is currently about right.

Happy with that.  If we can play like this all year we'll win more often than not.  The top teams will still have us, but we're right in the mix for the middle tier 

I will say I think Viney has just made a spot in the side for Petracca next week.  I can see he and Rance both going for a week. 

RUBBISH wasn't even a free kick

Too hard at the man. Too hard on the spread. We attacked with vigour from half back and we now have players capable of doing it who will only get better. They came at us multiple times sometimes due to our turnovers but we composed and bounced back each time.  Dom Tyson best game in a long time. Kent now starting to show what he can do over a game rather than cameos. The beauty is we won well and controlled the game and have much more improvement that will come with development and confidence even within is year.

Hogan with no goals but he took ten awesome marks

Hogan was great today, ran hard, chased, bought the ball to ground, stayed in the contest. 

he would be in the best handful on the ground had he kicked straighter

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
