Special shout out to Langdon for attempting not 1 but 2 handball receives from out of bounds on the wing.

Thoroughly entertaining, haven’t laughed that heartily on a football related action in a long time. Loving him in the side.

A couple of things of note there.

He's definitely going with the new AFL commentary buzz phrase 'creating width'.

...and we've been crying out for a good outside mid, and you couldn't get any more outside than that.

On a more serious note, I love what he brings...

The kid just doesn't stop running and you can see he enjoys his footy.

    Also, to run against the grain here.

    I know he made a couple of mistakes but I thought Harmes was ok.

    He seems to be settling into the HB role in tandem with Salem.

    He's only a game or so off a real break out in the position.

    Nice little read on the game.

    MELBOURNE V COLLINGWOOD – THE BIG MONGREL QUESTIONS 

     

    Don't totally agree with it all and the writer seems to think Tomlinson is playing on a wing or at half back, but interesting and well written insight nevertheless. Spot on about Clarry. Glad there's a bit of respect there for him. And telling, the regard for AVB too.

    They were both from Nathan Jones weren't they? He had a bit more time and needed to hold the ball to give Langdon time to get inbounds.

    I had forgotten about the first one and had a serious case of Dejavu later in the game...

    Tom Sparrow, Melbourne, has been charged with Engaging in Rough Conduct against Darcy Cameron, Collingwood, during the second quarter of the Round 12 match between Melbourne and Collingwood, played at the Gabba on Saturday August 15.
    In summary he can accept a $1500 sanction with an early plea.

    Charlie Spargo, Melbourne, has been charged with Rough Conduct (Dangerous Tackle) against John Noble, Collingwood, during the third quarter of the Round 12 match between Melbourne and Collingwood, played at the Gabba on Saturday August 15.
    In summary he can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.

    As in a game a few weeks ago it seems it is our guys who are getting fines and not the other team.  Takes two to tango, Mr MRO

    But I do like their feistiness!

    Did anyone see either of these occur?

    I feel like sometimes these just come up out of nowhere.

    Maybe the MRO [censored] is an ex-Collingwood player

    Can’t believe Michael Christian didn’t offer AVB six weeks for knocking Mihocek out

    I wish they would time stamp the incidents so you could go and look them up. 
    I remember seeing one tackle in the game that could have been dangerous as I remember wondering if it was going to be a free kick. It wasn't but I cant remember who the tackler was, maybe it was Spargo

    Yes, or even better provide a clip of the incident.

    I'd like to know if there was a free kick paid for Spargo's Dangerous Tackle. If it wasn't paid/deemed dangerous on the night, not sure how it can be deemed dangerous two days later.

    Because umpires miss things all the time, like striking off the ball - they still get reprimanded after the fact when the games reviewed

    Just finished watching the replay.

    Honestly, that was one of the better games I've seen Nathan Jones play since the Swans game last year where he snagged three. He only had the 16 touches on Saturday, but its great to see him back and contributing to the side. Not sure whether he goes on and plays in 2021 yet, but you can't deny he's playing his role quite nicely at the moment.

    Also, this play was vintage Jones.

    Coaches votes are in:

    6  Ed Langdon (MELB)
    6  Clayton Oliver (MELB)
    6  Angus Brayshaw (MELB)
    4  Christian Petracca (MELB)
    3  Steele Sidebottom (COLL)
    3 Taylor Adams (COLL)
    2 Charlie Spargo (MELB)
     
    WOW.  Big difference in view of the coaches!  Best guess split:
    5/1, 5/1, 4/2 for either Langdon/Oliver/Brayshaw
    4 for Petracca
    3 for Sidebottom
    3 for Adams
    2 for Spargo
    Langdon, Oliver and Brayshaw the only ones to get votes from both coaches.  But coaches had a very different view on who was best or second best on the ground.  Or 3rd best or 4th best or 5th best...
     
    Rapt for Langdon and Spargo to be among the votes.
     
    Petracca goes out to a clear second on the leaderboard with a game less.
    75  Lachie Neale BL
    54 Christian Petracca MELB
    47 Travis Boak PORT
    44 Taylor Adams COLL
    44 Jack Steele

    ...also on the leaderboard is:

    11th Oliver

    16th Viney

    17th Brayshaw

    Quite amazing to have our 3 or our 4 midfielders in the top 20.  And Max would be around 25-30 but he has missed a few games.

    Edit:  17th is Andrew Brayshaw

    No way Brayshaw can be coming 17th surely.

    Interesting stat -

    our bottom 5 disposal players (tmac, sparrow, weid, spargo, kozzie) each only got 8 or less disposals

    but

    all forwards, all kicked goals for a combined total of 8 goals being 50% of all our goals and 2 more than the whole filth team

    not bad for bottom 5

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
