    Great. Let's have 4 blokes tackle him, let the ball squeeze out and have 3 Richmond blokes on their own.

    What I was thinking.

    Happens even if it’s not Dusty.

    Hardly Ground Breaking thinking. It may work. 

    But how long has Martin been fending off like that with a free rein?

    years

    So what is your point?

    I actually think the best way to counter Dusty is to not tackle him at all. Defend the space ahead of him and force him to the boundary

    The only way to stop Martin is to starve him of it

    the MFC have to hunt the ball themselves.

    Don't know whether the reporter had his hand on it whilst watching or reporting this, it was one of the normal tackling drills they have been doing all pre season

    Perhaps Goody doesn't think it's been good enough on game day

    Plenty of resin on the hands, grab his fend off arm with both and snap it.

    I asked Nev about this, said best method is to grab the arm, but because his godliness is allowed to fend off high it adds to the difficulty in perfecting the technique

    By sweeping the fend arm to the side before it contacts you, it throws the balance off and you can tackle the body.  With the arm out of play, locking in the arm holding the ball and smashing the [censored] into the turf is the next objective.

    you know he is going to fend, so practicing the counter should be part of the prep.

    Take tips from New Orleans on how best to pay players who injure the opposition.

    No problem with the fend off.. it's when it goes for the throat or the head that it becomes interesting.

    Never called as a free or worse. Technically neither is round the neck etc but it is a dangerous manouvre especially when directed at the throat.

    I have been saying that for 2 years. Grab his wrist and pull towards you.

    That was sensational.

    As much as anything physical ...the dont argue  is a bit like a 'power handshake' in so much as its about owning your opponent. If you let him...he does. Viney owned HIM.

    Anyone can if they want to and don't fall for the ruse.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
