I did not see Jared have a go at white but yes, white did decide to stand and wait and yes rivs should have given white a mouthful and more, Don't remember seeing any footage, but then at that point I did put my head in my hands and wonder what the bloody hell he was thinking.

I was throwing pillows at the TV at that point, so I missed it as well, but...

JARED FOR CAPTAIN! :D

He had every right to give him a spray. I would have probably punched him, which explains why I don't, and should never, play team sports ;)

No Jaded as a captain it's sometime appropriate to grab a team mate by the throat and threaten to belt the crap out of them if they squib a contest, they need to more scared of the pain you will inflict than what the opposition could do.

If Jared could stay on the park, I reckon he would be a GREAT option as captain. Might also help keep him in Victoria.

If Riv goes home, I will cry like a 5 year old girl in the corner.

He is a pretty introverted guy as far as I know, so maybe the captaincy is out of the question, but certainly a role in the leadership group is the way to go. I've always liked having a designated leader in each section of the ground. Rivers is, without a doubt, the backline general.

And yes, if he goes home I can see quite a few Melbourne supporters checking themselves into a psych ward soon after. We have to make sure this NEVER happens.

Just by the way, Rivers is not from Adelaide, from SA, but not from the city of Adelaide.

Maybe an introverted off field captain is the way to go!?

If he is prepared to lead by example on the field...

I don't know; who else is there, other than Jonothan Brown? *Puts on really hopeful thinking face*

Didn't say a thing, should have though...

But I think White knew it.

Awful stuff, if I was DB I would throw Meesen in for him.

He's 6 foot 5 and afraid of Mooney.

Meeson is afraid of his own shadow.

i'd still play him. right now jeff white is in career worst form. his handball, his kicking, his decision making, this notion he has if he gets his hand to the ball in ruck contests he has done his job even though most of them go to the opposition. his game is a dogs breakfast right now.

I thought White was alright. He made a few mistakes that 1 being the biggest but he wasn't the only 1. Jones made some terrible errors. Everytime Carroll got near the ball he made an error. Davey was horrible until the last quarter and Robertson was the worst player on the ground.

I am a White fan, but I have previously written a piece called 'The White is Dead'. I saw the incident and my son had to pacify me in case I destroyed the expensive (for me) LCD monitor... I like what White has contributed over his long career. I like him for things other than his toughness. At the moment I don't like him for his clangers, particularly by hand (which I witnessed in person at Casey Fields). The other annoying idiosyncrasy (feel free to read IDIOTsyncrasy) is White's habit of seeing four options when he has possession without taking any of them... the fifth option is usually the one he does not execute cleanly!!!!! Now, White observers will know what I am talking about. He has been doing this for at least 5 seasons. FREE ADVICE FOR MR WHITE... "Always take the first option, take it quickly and half the time it will work out" ... which is a way higher percentage than you are currently rating!

There were 2 incidents that drew some abuse from Rivers. There was one where Mooney (I think it was him) used White to block Rivers because he wasnt looking. It was bloody awful. Rivers turned and gave it to him.

the 2nd incident was when Hawkins took the screamer in the pocket. Rivers was marking his man as the geelong player was lining up while White was byhimself at the top of the square. He should have being on the line just in case the kick was off. The kick was off, Rivers recognised that fact early and ran back hard but couldnt get into the contest. White never moved. Rivers turned and screamed and pointed at the goal line.

White also didnt contest a Mooney mark when he had best position. But that was at the other end of the ground so I didnt see how Rivers reacted. I know how I did however. Effin ballistic.......

there was another time where white actually ran back with the flight of the ball and tried to take a speccy over a geelong/melbourne 1 on 1 contest (in the geelong forward line). he dropped the mark, and i believe geelong mopped up and kicked a goal. if you are in the back line, you have two options. mark or punch, and you only mark it when you are 100% of it.

you forgot the bit about him taking rivers out during that marking contest.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
