It is sort of like if I attack my old club, everyone will know I am not biased.

One of our heroes, for years, with great effort for the teams in which he played and the Club, in general beyond that commitment. Now he looks to be complacent alongside other media-types covering footy, just to maintain the good wicket that TV commentary represents and, of course, the dollar; it's a lucrative job. I guess times have changed from the Bob Davis, Lou Richards, Jack Dyer images, clear preferences and loyalties out loud, competing with the Harry Beitzel and Drew Morphet-types of better days in impartiality, and the revered sacrosanctity of the umpiring craft.

    As are we all. You get that smell that this has been blown up to counteract the charge into Patracca by St Moore.

    Who incidentally loves to make known his oratory skills, which are "rambling zilch"

    And while i'm talking about Collingwood, what is going on with this jumping on top of the opposition by several players at a time and staying there until the poor players have submitted. I am waiting for someone to get dirt rubbed in their face or worse.  

    Reminds me of a song: “heads, shoulder, knees and toes” emphasis being knees and shoulders and head.

    First club to be done for tanking, or bringing the game into disrepute for discussing it.

    First club to have had a top 5 and NGA player taken away from the ability to draft him.

    First club to lose a player for a legal tackle that accidentally caused a concussion, Chandler.

    First club to have a player miss effectively a third of that season for a sling tackle, ANB in the covid shortened season.

    First in most games played against the Cats in Geelong in the last 25 years.

    First club to have a player suspended indefinitely, without a decision or hearing, for 10 months, for using coke 4 days before a match day.

    First club to lose a player forever, from a bump that a few months later is deemed illegal.

    First club to have allegations that the Coach was drinking and gambling with the players.

    First club to have Directors be sued by the immediate past President.

    First club to have a goal reviewed and disallowed after the all clear for allegedly having the ball touching the hair of an opposition player without any vision of same.

    First club to have one player have multiple overturned goals on review, after the all clear by the goal and field umpire ANB.

    First VFL/AFL club Board actively seeking a merger with another club and and using proxies of non club fans.

    First club to have a player suspended for standing still, while an opposition player ran into him in a practice game concussing himself, May.

    I am sure you can all have some fun thinking of some other firsts.

     

    Jack Trengove was the first player suspended for a tackle on Dangerfield in the goal square Punt Road end many years ago. A perfect tackle before the concussion thing was a hot topic.

    Yep me too. Commented that he is trying to outdo Gary Lyon. Why do Demons supporters go out of their way to denounce the allegiance. Is it any coincidence that there is general anti Melbourne sentiment in the media?

    Not the worst staging I’ve seen this year.
    Actually, not the worst staging I’ve seen this week! 

    Consistency?

    Don’t make me laugh!

    Doubt whether it will be fined again.

    Goody was pretty upset Robbo called him a cheat.

    Watched AFL 360 expecting to see Robbo apologise for a pretty ordinary comment.

    He didn’t apologise.

    I thought that was pretty ordinary.

    On a side note, I've just woken up to the surprising news that Patrick Dangerfield has gotten off at the tribunal, who would've thought.

    Feel sorry for him actually. Getting harder for hack journos to stay relevant in a sea of ex-players all trying to outdo each other for a dollar.

    It amazes me how flippantly that word gets used in the media. 

    That word set the ball rolling for the dismissal of our greatest ever coach.

    Now instead of ranting and raving with the sensationalist statements, I'd like these media guys to explain what actually is a sling tackle. Is it the action itself? Is it only a sling tackle when the head hits the ground. Some more informative journalism wouldn't go astray.

    Nothing has ever been less surprising or shocking.

    The AFL administration is an embarrassment and a danger to our great game.

    There is nothing either embarrassing or shocking but the AFL makes it so!

    If the snot goblins are so smart, well-selected and highly trained, how come so many Carlscum player utilise this free kick roundabout, so frequently, so universally, so blatantly and get away with it each time? Is there something wrong with the issued whistles they suck?

    Even those of us who are not conspiracy theorists know why this happens so regularly.

    it’s pretty funny though that he  defended the bombers all through the “ supplements” scandal isn’t it.

    You’ve Jason2’d into another dimension, like the Beastie Boys, or Juliana Crain. Shroedinger’s Trac style.

    Voss just came out and basically threatened anyone who says Walsh contributed to the Dangerfield incident.

    “Come and say that standing in front of me” he said.

    This for a suggestion of contributing only, not being called a cheat.

    every game you see people ducking and getting taken high is that not staging also, they are deliberately trying to draw a free out of what could have been a fair tackle if they had not ducked or lifted their arm. i dont know how may times i see melbourne players come flying out of a pack as if they have been pushed in the back as they did not get a free  because the umpire did not see a push could that be seen as staging? just because his head did not crash into the ground does not mean he could not have hit his head, strained a neck muscle etc.  i dont have any issue if they AFL wants to persue this sort of thing, i would just like them to be consistent in doing so. which we have seen they arent

    • 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?
