discussed elsewhere - I have no problem with the showboating - I have a problem with the Reiwoldt incident.

I have diplomatic immunity.

Everything around this accurate. They are both tossers, they're right about Bugg's actions and yet he is exactly the kind of player we need.

He definitely can over step the line at times, however, there has always been players like this and they are often necessary to be a premiership side.

Love what he does and may it continue. On the Reiwoldt action, he hardly pushed him hard, or tried to injure him more like the Lions did to the other Reiwoldt so I don't think you can compare the two.

Posted

He probably pushed it a bit but i loved his game, you have to be close to the line to get in their heads the way he did and it was a big part of why we won the game.

I don't know why anyone would have a problem with what he did.  So what if he showboated?  Big deal.

If I were these two 'tossers' I'd be more focused on spending time analysing the dog act that Rance committed and how bad it looks during a time where we are trying to eliminate coward punches like that from society.

When compared to that, what Bugg did means nothing.

Bugg can carry on as much as he likes. As long as he walks the talk. 

However, he has an amazing amount of front for someone who makes regular mistakes.

Apparently Rance's actions were justified given how frustrating his night (and year) had been, 

By that logic under Neeld the whole demon line up would have been justified to knock out whoever they pleased.

Still can't get over how much Carey and the other commentators tried to justify his actions.  It was really poor.

On SEN this morning that ex umpire Humphrey used exactly the same expression ie he as really frustrated. He also said that Viney was out of line with his response and the free should have been reversed or the 50 not paid.

On another note he defended the deliberate out of bound decisions in that game.

Lucky you weren't listening to the radio commentary then... MMM were going overboard about how much they were enjoying the biff, and given recent events I would have thought a memo might have gone out to try and tell sports commentators to be a bit more grown up about such things.

Carey criticised Bugg on Talking Footy last night.

I tend to agree with him. It's arrogance when it's not warranted. I remember David Schwarz doing the same thing once, in a game we ended up losing dreadfully.

BTW, Carey has also been talking up Melbourne a lot in the last couple of weeks.

"California here we come"

They get paid for this repetitive tripe!!!!

Agree, two tossers,  

But I'm loving that they feel the need to talk about this.  We, the MCF, are newsworthy for a whole lot of reasons now and people talking about us in any light means they are noticing us.  Whatever their agendas, I dont care.  We're no longer irrelevant and people are very afraid of what me might become in the next few years.  Talk us up, knock us, whatever, because you cant now ignore us......

I think you'll find he did that during a Qualifying Final against Carlton.  We won that game.

And they can criticise Bugg all they like, but it's wasted breath.  What he did means nothing and doesn't even need to be analysed.

Sheedy always said you need a couple of cowboys in your team.

Love it that we're starting to find that kind of spirit.

No we didn't.
We beat Carlton ..... In a final.
Scores were level at the time too.

Tune in about 4:50.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
