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.

I said, im not really sure id call it a game, more an extermination...

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)

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
