A six week stint in the SANFL certainly worked for him binman, came back on a mission. Unfortunate he hurt his knee very late in the game, will miss some games now. 

6w i believe, was just bruising and ligaments ....he was lucky.

    They’ve got to suspend him for a week and send out a memo to all clubs that it won’t be tolerated. Why can’t the goal umpires who have plenty of time and opportunity to observe these incidents simply inform the field umpire at any given interval, or put them in the book themselves? How hard is it? 

    It’s not just pinching which causes visible bruises, either. Defenders do it to the areas of the midfriff which are hidden by the guernsey and it is extremely painful. It’s not part of the game at all and frankly constitutes assault. Raking studs on the back of a player’s legs and ankles is the other one umpires often do nothing about. That should be punished as well. In suburban footy these are the types of dog acts which cause a player to swing an elbow into a jaw or punch some ribs in frustration. Then we blame that bloke for lashing out. 

    Outlaw it all and throw the book at any kind of thuggery that doesn’t have any place in modern footy. It’s not tough, it’s not brave and it’s not in the spirit of the game. Stratton needs to ask himself this morning - “would I have done it to Tex Walker or Buddy?” Of course not. Pull your head in then. 

    This pinching BS will filter down to junior footy I guarantee it.

    My 9yo has already been continuously punched in the back against a couple of teams this year.

    According to the live ladder we currently have pick #2. ?

    Can he kick goals from 35m?

    How’s the bruises on Fantasia’s arm from Stratton pinching him? Bizarre from Stratton. 

    Childish behaviour. Inexcusable. It’s not even the first of the month!

    What a woeful quarter by the Saints. Nearly every disposal was cringeworthy.

    Agreed.

    Ollie Wines has spent a few weeks in the twos, moreso to get his touch and fitness back.  But if is good enough for him as captain (and Hawks ex captain Roughy) it is good enough for TMac, our co-captains and every other player who is not performing over a few weeks or lacking fitness.  Season is lost.  There should be no exceptions.

    i've been wondering if something else other than foot issues is behind tmac's terrible form

    could there be some offield issues at play here? and could it be the same with omac who has also gone backwards and seems disengaged? 

    just wondering.....don't know anything

    Jack Martin is putting together a very good year.  

    The cynic would say it’s his contract year, the optimist would say he’s finally got his body right and is realising his potential.

    Can't see Richardson surviving beyond 2019 if 'Aints get beaten here. Coffin meet nail.

    out of interest.... what is his contract situation?

    There’s nothing more Melbourne than making a Prelim one season then ‘winning’ the spoon the following season. We should probably think about changing our name.

    Carlton v Dogs will be interesting tonight. I mean the dogs haven't been great since they won there flag. I look at us 2nd last on the ladder and just think if only we could have held on against west coast and adelaide then things would look so much better. 

    Anyway how we lost to the saints by 40 points is still beyond me.

    Pick 3 it is then. Unless the Blues get up. 

    We might do better with a lower pick, we never seem to get the top ones quite right.

    Those questions might be better suited to the team that we trade an injury prone "star" for that pick.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
