Inappropriate Touching

Deemented Are Go!

It really is a nothing story but to be honest I never got why footy players/athletes were prone to this kind of behaviour. Combined with the desire to dress in women's clothes for "player review" type functions and it seems there's a lot of repressed stuff going on there

    It's a different situation to Richmond's.

    It's still stupid.

    But that's not the issue. The issue is whether Hunt and Petracca were properly listening to Goodwin or just mucking around.

    Exhibit A: Luke Hodge saying he doesn't like the shortened game, he  just doesn't like the 90 minute game. Much prefers the old hour and a half game...

    Exactly. 

    Nothing to see here with this. 

    Yes and no. I would think [censored] farting around during 3 qtr time while the coach is delivering his message is disrespectful. Its no wonder we went to sleep that last quarter. 

    Sums up our year as well.

    I said this somewhere else but seeing as we aren’t a big club you can expect us to probably cop fines and/or suspensions for this. 
    That way the AFL can make it seem like they are reacting to this whilst not hurting a club they care about.

    Maybe Gooodwins final message was “okay boys, give each other a pinch on the bum and get back out there”!

    Well then at least the players are buying into it.... ?‍♂️

    Clearly, it's no big deal, but it gives ammunition to the professionally aggrieved.  They'll love it and use their soapbox.

    Exactly - no big deal but after the carry on in the Richmond rooms then anyone with half a brain wouldn't do it - therein lies the answer.

    Yes it goes on and on proving the point.

    I wish AFL media would steer clear of commentary designed to incite what the public should be outraged about every week

    I don’t really care about an [censored] squeeze or the finger up the date, but the worst bit is it is at 3 quarter time with our season on the line. Of course Essendon piled on a few goals straight after that very break as well.

    When did fingering your mate's balloon knot become a thing? I really have no idea why it's done and why people defend it. It's not normal in any way

    All media for that matter.
    Parasites that they are.

    At least they're generally a few rungs up the ladder from the NRL guys.

    My main issue here is the skylarking during the coaches address at 3/4 time before our most important quarter of the season. 

    Sure we had a healthy lead and looked like we were going to cruise to victory but we have this habit of going to sleep and not being switched on and then we concede multiple goals. 

    Now I’m beginning to see why. 

    This issue of not being switched on needs to be addressed in 2021. 

    Didn’t someone of note at Melb, recently say the club needed to grow up... hhhmmmm.

    Now I know why Hunt is such an accurate and composed goal kicker. He practises hard to get on target. And CP5 has also improved markedly  in finding the goals.

    Mind-boggling stupidity and lack of professionalism and respect.

    They’re at work.
    They've been explicitly told not to do it.
    They did it anyway.

    AFL doesn’t like it, sponsors don’t like it and members (as it was leading into the most important quarter of the year) don’t like it.

    Gives an insight into some players focus and mindset.  If we’ve ever wondered how we don’t turn up to play in big matches or drop the easy ones...

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
