Imagine if we recruited Dusty Martin, or DeGoey.   What the natives would find wrong.

wtf

    Disappointing from both players, I was young once and did stupid things, so understand but I wasn't in their position. Not a hanging offence but still a mark against them

    Some of the comments on here toward Spargo are disgraceful and some of you should hang your heads in shame.

    Nobody should ever wish anything but the best for the players

    I would assume the difference would relate to their respective ages and level of experience in a professional football environment.

    Spargo is entering his third year in the AFL- absolutely no excuse for being so blaze about the rules.

    Pickett can at least point to the stupidity of youth and inexperience.

    but on that basis (seniority) ollie wines should have got 4 weeks

    Gotta hand it to Spargo.

    Puts in a round 1 performance at a level not seen since Isaac Weetra circa 2008.

    Then coerced our premier albeit young small forward into attending a house party via an Uber during pandemic -  hence robbing us a key piece of the puzzle in somehow jagging our first win in 11 months.

    I don’t think we’ll be seeing young Charles for a number of weeks.

    You got a source for this?

    Or are you just making complete [censored] up?

    And poor though he was, is there any reason to stick the boot in further with the unnecessarily harsh Weetra call?

    How many breaches of AFL protocol were displayed when Selwood kicked that goal in 3rd Qtr? I wonder if Kozzie and Charlie cuddled their friends during their indiscretion.

    BIG difference... the players in the games are all isolated in the “bubble”. The punishment meted out to Pickett and Spargo could also be considered a form of enforced isolation, as they had been in contact with people outside the players “bubble”... why is this starting to sound like an episode from Seinfeld? I blame the moops!!

    Is ANB in or is that what everyone is guessing

     

    He’s in, official MFC Facebook page announced it, also Corey Wagner has been added to the emergency list alongside Michael Hibberd, James Jordon and Sam Weideman.

    Hopefully originally  getting  dropped spurs him on to bettr things

    The way he worked in 2018, running hard to get to contests and contributing usually 1-2 goals a game was important. He is one that should feel like he has a point to prove, if this doesn't give him the kick up the bum he needs than nothing will.

    Is it possible that Hannan might get a run?

    There is something quite calming - and acceptable - about the late inclusion of 'Mr Nice' into our forward line under the circumstances. He has the skills, mobility and challenges fairly well for the ball. Go Hannan...and go Lockhart. We do have depth and it may be time to prove it across the board.

    Absolutely guaranteed to get a week after the Essendon player got a week. I know they're young, but this is just plain idiotic.

    You dont think the odd health issue plus the look of the game is more important than the big picture of Borders ??

    I thought that also Ash.

    God forbid if ONE player catches it and gives it to another or a few at their Club or even an opponent (which is greater odds than Gold Coast winning the premiership  really).

    Also did you notice the Hawks bench lack of Self distancing 

    Clarkson standing right behind a player and next to another official.

    Please  correct me if that rule is not applicable to officials etc.

    If it is not then non medicos are the only ones that should Not be distanced at times for the total look of the game.

    In fact the over 50 year old officials at most Clubs are more in danger if they catch the  virus than their more juvenile counterparts!!

    This at least means Jeffery Kennett should not be seen offering his unique brand of advice during the game from the comfort of the interchange bench.

    (Did any one notice with some glee Eddy looked all strange and alone on Thursday night at the G !)

    From what we have seen all summer and the hard work they have put in both must be cursing themselves right now for something that just needed a little more thought in this current environment. Kossie so close to running out with his fellow draftees and Bennell, Spargo on the cusp of the 22. 

    Like anything else, a learning experience. I’m sure Max will tuck both under his arms and have a gentle word to them.

    39 it might have also have been  that Charlie is not playing (only emergency) in the selected side.

    Is a bit rude really if that is taken into account seems ad though he was the instigator or proponent in the matter.

    Might be the little bum kick to assist Charlie turn his fortunes around!

    Also good early setback fir Kossie to understand the TEAM ethos and hw will really feel it today and be remorseful.

    Both should be asked to apologise publicly to their teammates and Coaches.

    I would put Lockhart or Sparrow in as replacement.

    Lockhart YES 
    Sparrow NO but ascended to emergency role. Not sure he could come straight in under rules or It's ok but cause an unwelcome fine in this cost saving season.

    You’d better present yourself at The Manor For a jolly good flogging  picket

    You might find it has a calming effect

    • 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.
