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...

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
