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. ?

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!

Looking more likely we will be wooden ? by the end of the week. Great achievement Dees! 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

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

[P-man 13,366]

Just give us the spoon. We deserve it.

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

Losing to The Aints at The ‘G

just disgraceful....

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.

If Carlton wins we would have pick #1

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

OOC end of 2020.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

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. 

[dees189227 12,387]

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. 

[Demonland 72,154]

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.

So if he's been at this caper for a while, the question has to be asked. Why was nothing done until it happened to Essendon?

[Demonland 72,154]

Jesse finding some form just in time for us with 2 goals midway through the 2nd quarter.
