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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
