Yes, most certainly an ornament to the game. Used to get to the G early on game days to see him play in the Reserves team. Such developing class. Took the marks, kicked like no-one else you ever saw, handled the nasties on the field with aplomb and just before they hit our little rovers. Then into the firsts, went he. Did it all on a bigger stage to better effect. One of the greats. Did you see his TV interview with Mike Sheahan a year or two back? Pure honesty: 'I did what I did for Melbourne.'

Yes i did see it thanks to Youtube

i still think Grinter when i see a Demon wearing 14

    I don't think there's anything wrong with what Wallace said.  

    No, nothing wrong and he hardly urged them.

    Just thought they should...

    I hope they do focus on Lever, I've always found when this happens players can lose sight of the real objective.

    Winning a game of footy.

    I hope we don't get sucked into the BS and just go about our business.

    No matter what Wallace said glorifying him having his jaw smashing into pieces is pathetic. 

    I have always been appalled by the incident no matter the time or how footy was played. It was thuggery.

    Was the catalyst for the afl to commence trial by video. 

    Lever was ably backed up last week when carlton tried it on in the 3rd quarter. Esp by tmac and hibberd. 

    Will the crows seriously risk antogonising viney and lewis? As viney said this week when asked about this and alice springs ".....I'm ready to rumble...."

    Did he have that annoying squeak (beautifully described by Wadda We Sing) before or do we have Rod Grinter to thank for that?

    Did Grinter hit him from behind? The pic appears that way.

     

    I will always believe Grinter was going fairly for the ball and it went a bit pear shaped. 

    Never thought there was nothing malicious in it.

    Yeah Lever should be petrified with the Crow thugs.

    Viney should go to their huddle pre game and see whos up for it.

    He should go to their huddle pre game and tell them who better be up for it. :D

    exactly, and it was how we played the game back then. it was the norm, give or take.

     

    Captain blood made his name doing such things, as a clean up exercise.   you hit ours, we hit yours. 

    You should ask about the O'Keefe's, down the beach way.   not averse to a scuffle or two.

     

    The Wallace thing was Rodney's crudest.

    It will be a good test for lever. The pressure will come and we will get to see how he responds. I’m backing him ?

    It would be the making of him, with us.   It would be 'the final straw', of his interstate divorce.

    bring it on.

    I agree .

    Wallace was disgraceful that day and deserved retribution for what he did to Grinters wrist.

    Yes we did thoroughly intimidated.  It was a disgrace, they way we went to water under provocation.  the hawks sides would have sttod tall and like a kangaroo would not have taken a backward step. We folded up the card table and left the venue.

    Really the only one I recall to show some fight during the intimidation's, was Schwarta.

    And in the game we barely fired a shot in anger.

    Here are some stats for that game, set for tackles...  but check the other team stats.  We were getting pants'd, and we were also shown how to,  in tackles,  as well.

    https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/fts_match_statistics?mid=1284&sby=6#t2

    Some here think we were good, we weren't.  we were not a team to truly play for one another.  We were a team of talents who played as individuals mostly. And Most were soft in the physical stakes.  

    Going through the list from this game, I would feel safe with only 9 players, to really have my back in any meaningful way.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    We lost what toughness we scrapped together in the 80's, sometime thru the mid 90's.  Became Hollywood pretenders, with heaps of wasted talent.

    This continued right thru until Roosy started to bring back some pride in our contested football style.

    We are on the way back to playing like Men, again,,,, but still aways to go. 

     

    We are apprentices, atmo. imo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
