Steven May has been fined $2000 by the MRP for tripping Bobby Hill.

Glad it was just a fine, May definitely stuck his leg out intentionally.

We may never lose again 

Unnecessarily over the top and absolutely correct.

Why is it so hard to be humble for a lot of us just because we are winning?

I hear people talking about going back to back and even doing a threepeat.  Seriously?

I lose sleep thinking about if the team and the team behind the team keep walking the talk in terms of new found team values why we can’t we make it a fourpeat and become the absolute and undisputed greatest ever.

After over 50 years of enduring many nightmares I now love dreaming- GO DEES!

Anyone see the irony and a tint of sadness in watching Jesse Hogan on Saturday night?

Got given an absolute bath by the bloke that we pretty much traded a direct swap for.  I'll also add that Harrison Petty when on him at times towelled him up as well. 

Steven May has gone on to become an All Australian full back and premiership player, whereas Hogan has had off field issued and at his third club after Freo pushed him out the door quick enough.

The tint of sadness is that I honestly thought after his 2015 season he was going to go on to becoming the games best forward in the competition and certainly had the potential to be an 60-80 goal a season superstar CHF.

Watching on Saturday night, it simply confirmed that nothing has changed with him. The dude is 27 and is body language is still poor, he still abuses teammates for not hitting directly at his chest and then wanting to sit out the back wanting the cheap goal over the top. 

A player that will always talked about as 'what could have been'.

100%.
I want that 4peat we dropped in the fiddys.... Bad.
Stamp our dominance of the 20's while becoming an AFL financial powerhouse for future generations to marvel at.

To be honest dazz I reckon it’s more likely that we were all desperately hanging out for our next big thing and got carried away in how we rated him. No doubt the off-field distractions didn’t help, but I think it’s probably true that he just is what he is: a decent but not great tall forward.

I think you're right with this one.

I was ropable that people were booing him. 

He elected to leave, which history would suggest was  a bad move for him, but he had so much to deal with when he was dee that only the cold hearted could hold the decision to leave against him.   

And as luck would have it, we got May as direct result of his decision to leave.

Surely Jesse must have had a few sliding door thoughts on Saturday night. I felt for him. 

Agree on his body language - in fact made that point to my mate right near the start of the game when he threw up his hands in frustration. Poor form

Knew he wouldn't become a great when he couldn't kick over 45mtrs.
Then he lost all confidence and started to experiment with how he held the ball settling on holding it over his opposite leg before the kick.
Just awful technique.
The best don't do that.

The booing was disgusting, totally unnecessary and uncalled for.

Ditto, totally agree.  Let me put some perspective to this.  Tom Scully when he deserted us deserved every boo he got plus more.

Hogan is a completely different story. He has had some big challenges and has had to deal with some demons (excuse the pun).  I wish him well and hope he does well at GWS.

Maybe they were booing the free kick paid to him where Petty never actually touched him could have been meant for the umpires who incidentally deserved it?

He did elect to leave and the club was happy to see him go.  Too much of a distraction for younger heads.  I dont boo ex MFC players, and to be honest wish them all the best.

I like Hoges.

Just watched the replay.  Harmes played much better.  😀

Needs to be a Royal Commission into GWS - so many hand outs and they dont have a key fwd.

There were a lot of highlights tonight but that is just an amazing piece of play by Sparrow. Got a standing ovation by many at the ground.

Superb

His run and possessions as a result of continuing forward so hard, so far,  parallel to the movement of the ball that he delivered was almost perfectly reminiscent of what Yze used to do in his playing days, on many occasions, for the Dees. It looks to me - alongside other gameplay examples - that Sparrow is under the right wing (of Yze).

Some people have short memories and display limited gratitude. Hogan was and remains a Demon hero under such circumstances that few (these days) would understand.

There’s definitely a bit of sadness. Always really liked him at melb. I don’t understand the booing and the abuse at the ground though. Thought that was very poor. He did what he could for us. If your dad dies of cancer and then you get cancer and your family is on the other side of the country you get to do whatever you need to do. Unfortunately even Melbourne have their fair share of [censored] supporters. It’s not like we lost out when we let him go.

He does it a bit... surprised he hasn't had a quiet word said to him be it internally or from AFLcorp(tm)

'Hero' is a bit of a stretch mate...

This stuck out to me after Green pinched the mark in a pack of GWS players.

Wish him all the best though. Funny thinking back that many thought Freo shafted us with that trade deal. We clearly got the better end of the stick in hindsight. 

image.png.f0047bce7136e9752028349980b0811a.png

GWS play a bruise-free style.  Lots of nice skills but no substance.  No fight

Our blokes won't have too many sore spots ... 8 days off and we'll be fresh as for the Tigers (and that won't be bruise-free)

Are we now 3 games AND % ahead of the teams out of the 8? After 5 [censored] rounds?

Have I died and gone to some alternate version of sporting heaven?

Edited by Engorged Onion

 

Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. As a team we a relying very much on big scoring bursts in just one quarter.

I went back and had a look at what our results would be if you removed our best quarter each game.

...

Yeah, nah, we still win every game.

 

I really put effort into my MFCSS then, and it still didn't work out.

Each to their own mate. I’m enjoying our form with some tongue in cheek comments. Feel free to scroll right past it next time

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
