Hawkins does exactly the same thing whenever he feels he can't take the mark.

just as the big men should.

Plugger Lockett would not have been so kind,  in 'HIS' territory...

    I think we are all tFearful for poor old Essendrug, these two very sad losses to their line-up have won us games over the past couple of years and there is a strong likelihood of them both regularly excelling from now on for the MFC thanks to our 'muscle' recruiting wins for 2019. Carna Dees!

    Deep down in our clubs psyche... I think we are all tFearful for poor old Essendrug.

    And of the Hawks except that the Hawks are a different club, these days.

    the Roos to a lesser extent, and this fear grew out of trying to be a 'prim and proper'. politically correct club...  This stemmed from Northern stand attitudes.

     

    And at the same era's, did our inability to develop our kids... and to maintain the rugged Footy Club culture.

    # Exhibit A... of what happens to our clubs footy culture, and the growth of bruise free footy.  This is why  'bruise free'  continues to creep back in... after we have exorcised it from within.

     

    This is how it regrows...  this  'non contact type philosophy'  does not fit with the rest of   the AFL Footy Competition... and belongs on a soccer field,  where  hard tackling and physically hard contact are frowned upon.

     

    This is how our Footy Clubs Culture, continually gets pulled down and torn apart from within,  by politically correct others.

    What if Bruiser turns out to be a player, not a thug. We should not expect him to be the "pack crasher" just because he is bigger than most. My memory of the 50s and 60s is of a skillful, talented team and we won games for that reason and no other.

    I would prefer him to take marks or create crumbing opportunities and forget about all these other issues.

    What a load of cows excrement, you have a serious chip on that shoulder of yours DV8. It is the 21st century and thugs are no longer tolerated. Get used to it. I love tough footy but cheating is cheating and whether it be drugs or illegal tactics it has no place in today's sport.

    You have now soothed it.

    I am not calling for punches, or to knock opponents... like was done in the 70's and 80's... but to bruise them with some intent.  To create pain.

    I am not talking about thuggery Mandee  !!!

     

    I am talking about physically softening up opposition and intimidating to distract.  

     

    Are you a cricket follower, ManDee ? I think the chip is on your shoulder mandee in the way you read my words. colouring in your own palette.

    I don't want thugs... I want intimidation players, who will bruise opponents... just as Neita did on occasions. as Whelan did, as Viney does...

     yes deliberately bruise opponents. make them feel the pain of heavy contact to the body.

     

    but No, not the Thuggery, of yesteryear.

    They are all coached to hurt, just legally, as Nev did to Mitchell in the semi

    Nev cops way more than his fair share, he just doesn’t whinge about it. Only fair that he is able to dish out some as well.

    When two bodies collide at high intensity it is not always certain who will come off best.

    Stick to watching the ball.

    The drill was one guy to actually get the ball after 'a bit of contact' it didn't develop that way,  for all the pairs, obviously to the delight of the coaches, who did nothing to discourage the more robust approach to the drill

    Well we've been getting used to political correctness at the Dees, for the past 50 Yrs, and I still haven't got used to the feeling of losing... whilst we fly the johnny be good flag.

     

    It's not cheating if your not charged with anything, Mnd.

    So the rest of the competition tries to bend the rules all the way, before they are broken, and to get away with things...  whilst you continue to NOT cheat in some politically correct fantasy of your own making....  but what is that exactly???   when other clubs are taking ALL their opportunities... and the flags.

     

    Do you pay all the tax you should...  or do you bend the rules,  just a bit, MnD ?

     I bet you do not answer...  just come out to throw shyte, and hide.

    When the amount you’re selling is under the prescribed amount required to be declared as trafficking.

    Anyhoo..back to training, I’m on the red-eye tonight to Melbourne, depending on how my morning pans out I’m going to try to swing by for a look. I’ve pressed my chaps just in case.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
