I luuurve the way Lachy Hunter has fitted in to our team, and he seems genuinely liked by teammates> All you need is some brevity and understanding , which was obviously lacking at Dishlickerland!!

    I'd happily pay the fine. From Lachie's PoV, one for the grand kids in 2057. You can't invent this type of $%^&! The man is a total legend.

    I saw this at the time and said to the bloke next to me it was NQR, and asking for trouble.

    I said in the Sparrow thread the AFL will try and [censored] the MFC and this is a classic example.

    If he was already warming up around the boundary line, I reckon a heckle is ok.

    But running at the player like this doesn't sit right to me, as it makes it "feel" like there is an extra defender. I don't think it's appropriate.

    But as said above, exposing another player on the field should be a more significant penalty than this!

    To add to this: I absolutely love the ****housery. I just think it needs to be against the rules.

    Don’t have a problem with the fine. If a player did that in a close prelim and it caused a turnover all hell would break loose.

    Kinda impressed with how quickly he thought to do it though. Hated him and his smart aleck tendencies at the Dogs, don’t mind it all anymore.

    I counted two dackings on the weekend and I’m sure neither attracted a fine. 

    Both did.

    Well definitely Murphy was fined.

    It could lead to an incident and is not helpful.

    Does he get a 1%er stat for that fine effort?

    And would he get fined if he did it withing the interchange area?

    Well at least we got consistency finally.

    The MRO has found another new way to penalise a MFC player and the MFC and given several past incidents, that is the only level of consistency the MRO has ever achieved.

    On the other hand it’s not behaviour the AFL should encourage.

    Very glad he didn't miscalculate and place a foot over the line.

    For what it's worth, I think the fine is appropriate. If no action had been taken, players would believe they could do this with impunity. That could lead to dangerous outcomes. 

    Inappropriate causations have been occurring for years. Did Mathews receive a fine and a bill for wrecking a point post? Did Jones get fined for damaging a goal post? Did players get fined for misbehaving in the race or the dug outs?

    Resting case.....

    Wtaf, he's getting fined for that, seriously?

    Very smart gamesmanship.

    Can AFL please quote the rule that he has breached?

    I guess we should be so grateful to Michael Christian for not suspending him for a month on another trumped up charge that is not in the rule book.

    I get it. I mean, it’s a little funny and good on him, but have to draw the line somewhere. $1500 seems excessive though. Must inclusive of the additional MFC player tax.

    and in the latest news from afl house ... the afl has announced that fartometers will be installed in all player interchange benches. any player caught farting will be fined by the mro for unsportsmanlike behaviour.  repeat offenders or particularly smelly farters could be suspended or referred to the afl tribunal.  the afl spokesman said this is further step in the afl's commitment to a safer and more inclusive workplace.

    Really? The Cadman one I can understand as it was deliberate. But I saw the Jackson one as incidental to play.

    I corrected my earlier post to definitely on Murphy, maybe not on Jackson one.

    This is, must be a joke. Hope Goody, Fags, Fly and other coaches on the side lines don't wave there arms or gesture to one of there own players if the ball and oppo player is close and happens to put the oppo player off.. Give me a break.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
