    Probably shut it in the car door when he realised he was about to be typecast as a tagger.

    Did that happen with the ( not paid) kicking in danger that resulted in a goal to Geelong?

    It would be very interesting to know.  Umpires got very slack about paying these frees though I think they have got a bit tougher recently. Still not tough enough IMO.

    Let me just quote myself from the Post match discussion thread:

    "There was a centre bounce in the last quarter too where the pack was around a ground ball, Harmes bent to pick it up, a Geelong player kicked the ball off the ground and they wound up with a goal. It was possibly the worst case of kicking in danger I can remember. The Geelong player booted Harmes' wrist and his shoulder bumped into Harmes shoulder/neck. Harmes may have been injured as a result. Not only was it a definite free kick, it was borderline report worthy. But ofcourse, no free kick called and resulted in Geelong goal to keep their momentum going and get them over the line".

    If that incident I described on the weekend is the cause of Harmes' broken hand then the club should be fuming. We were legitimately robbed by the umpires on the weekend. Not only that, but they've failed in their responsibility of ensuring players receive duty of care when on the field, as one of our players is now injured due to a careless rough act that went unpenalised. Unbelievable. I hope the club lodges a formal complaint against the umpires from the weekend. What a f*cking pathetic waste of skin they are.

    By now, you should be aware that Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon can do anything against the rules if it is to their advantage and moreso if it enables a quick, scoring return. I think that one as you describe is a non-decision once again that was purposefully ignored. Accountability?

    If it did indeed happen at that time, the club should raise this with the AFL.  

    I wonder what happened about raising the Dangercon incident?

    Hawkins got off for smashing Fritsch as well.

    This club is pi$$weak at speaking out when we should.

    Hope Pert does something about it.

    We need to get on the front foot with the umps before playing in another hostile environment this weekend

    Harmes needs a massive pat on the back after last weeks game. Selwood kept to just 16 touches but what might be the best thing to come out of the game was Selwood got just one free kick... JUST ONE!!!!

    Suffer in ya jocks... ya d!ckhead ;)

    Only at Melbourne does a player hit career best form and gets immediately injured.

    Lever starts developing back into AA form. Gets injured for the rest of the season.

    Stretch finally plays a solid AFL game and shows some of the qualities we could really use in the side. Gets injured for the rest of the season.

    Viney and Hibberd work back into some form (albeit not spectacular from either of them). Both get injured.

    Harmes finds a niche as a tagger and in successive weeks takes out A-grade midfielders in Macrae, Selwood and Dangerfield. Gets injured.

    We had a solid run with injuries in the first half of the year but that luck appears to have firmly run out now.

    Makes the Port and St Kilda losses harder to stomach, given at that time we had just Lever out from our first choice 22 (Hunt having been dropped before getting injured).

    According to some people on here, Umpires dont cost teams games. 

    Go and watch the game over and you will see the garbage that got paid against us on sat night.

    Looks like that visit from Troy Pannell paid off for Geelong. [censored] the AFL.

    Can we get a priest, a rabbi, a sheik and some Buddhist monks to come and bless the club? Remove the bad energy? 

    Sage leaves? Tea leaves? Some Glenn20 perhaps?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
