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

    • 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?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
