I know Paddy get's up some people noses, but I for one think he deserves mad respect for this (as does everyone who puts out for others selflessly). So let's tease him for being part of Geelong's geriatric midfield, but let's also keep a tad of respect for someone who more than once has had the tall poppy treatment and at least to my eyes been a courageous and fair player.

    I won't have the heart to bag him anymore even though he's such a FIGJAM. What he did at the weekend was hero level. Huge respect

    Well done to the man, helping someone in need is sign of good character on his part. Happy to bag him for being a part of Dad's Army, and for being a bit of a sook/diver on the footy field, but it sounds like this girl and her family were in strife and he helped to prevent a tragedy. Well done Paddy 👏.

    Possibly saved lives. 

    And possibly the most important thing he has ever done.

    Doesn’t get much bigger. 

    And humble with it.

    I like him on the beach. Hate him on the football field.

    For the posters who are melting, obviously I’m joking around, what he did was a fantastic thing (I still don’t have to like him though).

    I grudgingly have to give him credit, and considerable credit, but I can’t help but recall –

    The time when he, a member of the rules committee, put his hand up as the Ruckman and won a free kick in the forward pocket in an absolute sham.

    The fact that he is a shocking diver.

    The numerous times he has collected people’s heads with his elbow.

    While I expect to be howled down for this, I really don’t understand the “hate” for Danger on here.

    As a player, he has been, and possibly still is a champion, earning a Brownlow on the way.

    As a person, he obviously has the respect of all players to be elected as their Player Rep.

    And now, to top it off, he helps rescue a few struggling swimmers.

    Yep, he is known to take the occasional dive, and sometimes a bit careless with his shoulders and elbows. I think a little less of him for those quirks, but I can’t and don’t hate him. And to be honest, apart from these quirks, I enjoy seeing his great skills on display.

    If Danger had left the Crows and come to the Dees, instead of the Cats, it would be a very different attitude towards him, I’m sure.

    Hates a strong word. Personally I don’t think I hate anyone, life’s too short to care about hating someone. He’s just a big ol’ Rooster.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
