Can't agree with that RJay (although I detect underlying sarcasm)

Bernie's (quite legal) shirtfront on Daisy is something to behold and something you'd never see our Dom do.

Hogan, Look closer please

Hogan underrated by most, or they just don’t see, he was involved in many of the goals, he’s a gun.......

Agreed he played a better than serviceable game today, but I wish he would stop playing for free kicks. Just suck it up princess and beat them next time, it's one flaw in his game that makes me cringe.

What did he do to cause the 50 metre penalty? Watched it several times on replay and I am none the wiser. What did I miss?

Umpire trying to even up the qtr time score!

He has been much improved with this and his body language this season, however, on 2 occasions he went back to his old ways.

The first was when he didn't get the free kick and stopped playing to complain to the umpires. It was a clear free kick but you have to play to the whistle.

The second was when Simpson was 1 on 2 or 1 on 3 and Hogan went to ground way too easily.

Hard to fault any players performance on a day like this. Very satisfying win.

Haven't seen it but on the radio broadcast (SEN) they thought the umpire had believed Gawn had stepped over the mark. The commentators talked about how Gawn took a couple of steps back and then came forward the same number of steps when McKay took the kick. However, they didn't confirm whether Gawn actually stepped over the mark or not. 

PS: The SEN early Sunday game commentary team is not bad. Gerard Whately and Peter Donegan calling the action with Adam Cooney adding interesting comments from the boundary. They also have Danny Frawley but I don't see that he adds much value. My favourite Frawley-ism of the day was when he claimed during the game that all the Melbourne  forwards had kicked at least one goal. At that time Hogan, Smith and Spargo hadn't.

he didn't step forward, but he did jump forward just as mckay kicked. was about a foot or so. there is one video sequence (side on) that clearly shows this.

if he hadn't gone over mckay would still have kicked into him but

I actually think the 50 worked in our favour as it triggered a scuflle. And we came out at the start of tbe 2nd Q fired up.

I still think he was within the actual mark..his action made it look otherwise perhaps...ie.he moved forward....but for me it was from behind the mark.

All moot now.

Max was right . Umpire wrong.

McKay judged to kick where Max stood...NOT allowing where the mark was.

Max a little clever was denied by umpire error.

Add to the revelations this year that he is one of the best field kicks in the side.

    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

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
