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

    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

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
