To be fair, I think Howe's IQ matches his playing number. Like most, if not all of them. Look at De Goey, for example.

 

Should have been a free kick for unduly rough play, tackle had been completed when about 3 others decided to pile on.

 

To me this is really a non-issue, let the players pipe up and make statements that get us invested into the game. At the end of the day, the on field performance has the last say. Players are human, not media robots.. “we were up against a quality opposition”, “we really respect them”, “they really challenged us in the 1st quarter”… how about, “we’d love to [censored] these a$$holes, they beat us twice this year now”, “we’ve got JH’s number in our sights” and, “if Cox even thinks of looking at Gawny the wrong way with those ridiculous shades, then look out!”

Gerard Whately described it as good entertainment. A bloke being attacked, head driven into the ground, elbows and fists on his face, while on the ground defenceless, against 5 players. Yep great entertainment. Stuff the rules.

I think we need some nastiness back in our play.

Maynard smashed Langdon and ANB and also belted Max in the back of the head, in a spoil in our forward pocket. No free to Max of course.

We need to get nasty and ruthless with our tackles and tackle to hurt.

Teams need to know that we mean business.

I think we have become nice guys, helping the opposition up off the ground and joking with them during the game. 

Harden up guys and hit hard and often.

That won't happen Mr Leg and you know it. That's not the way the MFC have ever played. I can't see it changing.

Thought the Max one was blatant but of course play on.

And I saw Teddy Fidge rough up Millane once ... might have been at Waverley in the mid 80's

Neitz used to throw his weight around when needed.  Even Tiger Crosswell & Zantuck

We've had a few, old dee


Arguably "got what he deserved" will provide more potent ammunition than the original duck, dinner, etc.

Does Jeremy see how stupid HE looks now.  Thanks to the above, guess what goes on the Dees whiteboard in the finals.

Nice one Jeremy. 32 years old and still no Premeirship medal, and unlikely to have one with father time closing n.

  What a waste of a career - as Travis Boak said to TMAC in the Power game last year - another 'speaking too soon ' type..

 

Our Ed got one at 25 and a half.

If the shoe was on the other foot, you know we would demand nothing less than what the Pies dished up. well I know I would.

He was an [censored] for saying it - and bought undue attention to himself that left him rattled and ineffective and irrelevant for large parts of the game.

Noel McMahon, Barassi, Jim Durnan, Cameron Clayton, Byron Pickett, Crackers, Mark Jackson, Stewart Gull, Phil Carman  to add a few more.

I also don't think that Dunne would have thought  that was "ok"

Werridee could put a team together at the rate that these names are being recalled, Redleg

Michael Reynolds could go a bit from memory

The present day ... Melksham, May, Viney, Hibberd (and Fritsch likes a scrap apparently) ... we could bring back Majak (I wouldn't get him riled up)

Maybe we let VDB go too early?

If you want to talk about Ed's words not being chosen carefully, I don't think Howe's were chosen much better. Really hope this gets us going for next time we play them for a change.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
