Is apparent bravery a way to now get away with obvious front on contact?  Happened numerous times against Frittata on Thursday and Tarrant just then got away with one. 

I've also noticed players getting pushed in the back in marking contests and not being paid. It's more than holding one's ground, the aim is to take the opponent out of the contest. I thought Neale's mark on the boundary Punt Rd end was a clear push out. I think Petty got a good shove in another 1:1 contest

Happy for players to hold ground, but not if it clearly takes the opponent out of the contest

    Is a fair comment, I just don't mind as we do it as much as any team.

    Great game, not enough zooming in on Scott though.

    It seems that MFCSS has mutated and there is now a strain called MFCVM (Melbourne Football Club Victim Mentality) which manifests itself by sooking about the umpires being against us, the AFL working to bring us down, the media having a vendetta against us and the MRP handing down decisions which are not in our favour.

    There is no chance of Tom Stewart receiving any less than two weeks for that hit.  

    Two weeks would be pitiful! Should be a minimum of four.

    It's quite dangerous and players are getting injured from it.

    May injured by A Hawkins push in the back last year and then again by a gold coast player this year when pushed into a contest and concussed by Lever.

    It goes against one of the main rules in the game. You should never be able to push people in the back.

    Just crazy

    Or some have mutated it into Must Defend The AFL Whenever syndrome. Most of the comments are about the corruption of AFL operations regardless of our club.  And if you don’t think the AFL has history in this I’m staggered. 

    Never let it be said that I'm an apologist for the AFL, sue.

    I'm talking about that whiny element of our supporter base who tell themselves (and us) that Melbourne get picked on and treated more unfairly than other clubs.

    I appreciate this forum is a place to vent for some people, and what really riles me, is that there is often vitriol towards umpires from certain posters.

    Personal attacks wouldn't be accepted against any other group. So why these individuals? It wouldn't be tolerated in my house against anyone, I'd send my 6yo to his room, and if I spoke like that, I'd send myself to the room and give myself a good long talking to about respect, compassion and common decency.

    So it's been bugging me that this forum perhaps doesn't sanction that sort of commentary (perhaps it does and I am not aware of it).

    We can do better Demonlanders. #notallDemonlanders

    What about the vitriol directed towards MFC players and Football department personal by quite a few posters, shouldn't that have been mentioned as well.

    I said he wouldn't receive LESS than two weeks in response to those sooks who posted he'll only get a week and be back for our game because everything's stacked against us.  Four sounds right to me.

    For Geelong it would be scarring to lose this with so much in their favour. Let's hope (even though I tipped them)

     Not saying you are one at all DStone but there are some posters who delight in boasting how superior they are by claiming to be super objective and rational unlike everyone else. They often go too far. There will always be over emotional supporters who go too far the other way

    This looks like the 2019 prelim and 2020 GF between these two.

    It's not over, but just a little excerpt from Geelong Big Footy:

    'This game is enough evidence again that we aren’t getting close to the flag. Pressure goes up and the same players just s**t the bed again and again without fail. It’s in the clubs DNA, poo your pants footy.'

    A beautiful thing.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
