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 might find it has a calming effect

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
