The Tom Sparrow Made Me Cry Thread

Featured Replies

Watching it live from behind the goals it was a fantastic shepherd that Sparrow supplied to Hunt. He ran full tilt for about 30-40 metres just to lay the bump and create some more room for Hunt. Very selfless. He would have known he was no chance of a possession from his actions but i’m sure they would have highlighted it in the review as a great team act.

In fact, and not just in our games (where umpiring always seems better when you win), but across the board I think umpiring has been better this year. 
 

 

Razor Ray managed to get the even coin toss wrong in the Geelong -Hawks game. Selwood had to tell him it was a head not a tail. 
No improvement there.

What the hell was dermie rabbiting on about with that.

Great response from spazza. As if dermi would have let a teammate get a wack in rhe head and not remonstrate.

What the hell was dermie rabbiting on about with everything? 

I always find Dermott's comments to be a really good example of highly articulate sophistry ultimately tending towards meaninglessness.

When our players tackle like this we tend to win. Back when Cameron Bruce wore the 32 we had a season as the number one tackling side in the league. I believe it may have been the year Troy Broadbridge passed away.


Talking of injuries. We have destroyed the Giants season. Dangerfield out this week and Rohan. Prestia injured and Jack Gunston. We should go hard at the next 3 games.

Yes, he made me cry with his childish delight.  Did you see him jump up and down on the spot with glee when Gawn took that pack mark?  And the commentators sure did call his name a lot.  Hit top form at the right time of the year.

And I think the minerals in the WA water is turning his hair curly.

Go Yung Sparra.

How's the shephard from Sparrow?

 

Sparrow really goes into the opposition with courage, intent and fine recovery. He is becoming a most reliable team member who accepts the 'unpleasant' and 'dangerous' roles as part of the game, as part of his contribution to the team, as part of his repertoire of skilful acts. I like the boy! Carna Dees.

 

 

Sparrow is going to be a serious player IMO. His toughness, intent and ability overhead are some excellent traits and he has two of the best midfielders in the comp to learn from.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
