Inappropriate Touching


Deemented Are Go!

This sums up the culture and attitude of the MFC that has held us back for years. Finals on the line and they are messing about like under 12’s. Complete lack of respect for Goody and for what is at stake. 

Essendon applied almost zero pressure all game and somehow we almost threw the game away. Now we see why. 

What other team do you see not paying attention in such a big game? 

Exactly spot on & unfortunately perceptions are created & one questions is this the core of the reasons why they drop games? Do they get ahead of themselves? Certainly looked that way @ 3/4 time, imagine if they were chasing %?? Understanding players are not robots but clowning around @ coach address on the field sends a poor message. Viney was pinched and would have been great for the leaders to have addressed this on the ground as VC along with Gawn!

   We only see one part of the evidence.  The cameras are not on the other side, are they?

   If there are more doings in the huddle then no wonder the concentration and listening to Goody is not getting through to most in  the team they have the minds on something else.

What the  ?  Do we need this   ?      Do it at you own time............ That is your secret  and keep it to yourselves.

It’s actually quite pathetic! Especially as it has been an issue and talked about in the AFL in recent weeks...! MFC should be so so dirty on this. 

These actions can be very very costly to the player (delisted) and the club! 

The young one’s! Either on the PlayStation or fingering mates bums! Sick! ?? 

I wonder what goes on at training! ?

No one cared the first time, no one cares this time. It’s been going on forever and everyone knows this is the case. Young men think all kinds of stupid [censored] is funny. That will never change. Its just something to fill five minutes for media segments.

Well done Gawny.

Yes, well done for telling them off for being silly. 

But he failed to mention fooling around during the coaches address in a critical game.

I know which of the two peeves me off more...

Here are two possibilities . . . 

  1. Christian (ironic name in these circumstances) might be enjoying it (he had a good last quarter), and
  2. Maybe they are in a sexual relationship and doing what many supposedly 'normal' couples do who love each other.

And with respect to them not paying complete attention to the coach, there are at least two further possibilities:

  1. Maybe they can do two things at once, and
  2. I stopped listening to Goodwin 12 months ago . . . imagine what the poor players are going through?

Mitch Brown can't even keep a straight face listening to him.

Anyway, as the old joke goes about two astrophysicists discussing black holes . . . one tells the other:

"We need to understand the gravity of this matter".

There ypung blokes.

Before I get shouted down, can most of us those who are older and wiser think of the things we have done.

We have had the luxury of not being under the spotlight.

Im not condoning it , just sayn. They still need to be more professional.

Its also annoying that doing it when the coach is speaking.

Its not like the game was wrapped up.

After the 2 losess to swans and freo, they should have All pulled their fingers out.

Definately No pun intended.

That could’ve been done behind closed doors. Only adding that to the media would only increase negative media attention. I’m sure Goodwin would’ve pulled them aside and had a nice chat about it.

It’s not inappropriate touching, as Christian encouraged it further. So it’s actually called ‘touching’.

Consent means everything. This is a nothing story. 

And we wonder why most footballers seem like robots - it’s because everything else causes a bunch of do-nothing journos to write garbage.

Good to see Gawn setting the standards and saying it’s not professional but I also do think this is an overblown story, especially as I said earlier in the thread that the Georgie Parker was given a pass of hers based off it being consensual. 

It’s in the spotlight because of the Richmond dumb dumbs, any other time we’d be laughing about it with Jayden and Christian.

I think this reinforces the point I've been making about our core players still being mentally immature (and unfortunately not all that bright) - with Oliver, Harmes and Brayshaw also among others on that list. They still behave like boys together. But for the most part Petracca's increased maturity has been evident this season and the effect on-field has been plain to see, and I think Oliver is beginning to mature as well. When they all transition to being professional adult footballers we'll see our fortunes turn. Anyway, the club got the response right so let's move on.

I don't mind the blokes mucking around and having a laugh when there are no cameras around.

But during game day they need to be more professional. Especially as Essendon gave us a scare and we could of dropped that game. In the end we sadly miss the finals regardless.

I should note that in my opinion Harley Bennell has made the bigger stuff up  wanting to go off and get drinks at the pub. That's far more disgraceful and Harley should be made to pay a fair portion of the $50,000 fine. We can simply not afford massive fines like that! Any regular person with a regular job would get sacked.

AFL journalism is infested with simpletons: we know that. But the players involved were stupid, especially Hunt who instigated it (while the coach was addressing the players). Looked terrible, all round.

The thing I find intriguing is that it's almost the same as the relationship between Stoinis and Zampa in the cricket (which draws little to no attention), and the weird fact that they even look similar.

I always thought that close contact male oriented sports were originally a homo-erotic concept anyway (look at greco roman wrestling - you don't need to be a genius to see where they got the idea for the "squeal like a pig" scene in Deliverance)... I would love to have gotten Sigmund's thoughts on rugby league.

We have a reputation for being ‘gettable’ when we’re in the lead and these two blokes aren’t switched on at 3/4 time. I don’t care what they were doing, I care more about the fact they are anything-but focused on the task ahead of them for the next 20mins.

Interesting off-season for Max - he needs to figure out how to remain popular but implement an environment where absolute focus on all areas of success is guaranteed. I would say ‘interesting offseason for Goody’ but I don’t think he has any hope of meaningfully changing much in that place anymore.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
