Yes, un-f*cking-believable. We are still homeless! One thing we have learnt from this pandemic is that governments can never, ever, say again that there is no money for something.

Yeah, he was probably just snorting more of that Wiesn Koks

Another indictment on the Club (although Jackson and Rivers not far off):

Appealing for a lenient sentence, O'Shaughnessy said: "He's one of the few Aboriginal players who's got a bit of spirit and go — most of them haven't. They turn it up. He's got more go than the average fellow has of his race, he bounces back. When his name crops up you hear these comments: 'Haven't they hung him yet?' and 'Where's the firing squad?' I often wonder whether people think this player should go on the field bound hand and foot." Disgraceful comments by the Old Xaverian Brian O'Shaughnessy - the same bloke who was on the 1965 committee at Carlton that seduced and wrested Ron Barassi away from Melbourne, which still curses our Club to this day....

Exactly. Maybe someone in the media should remind Hardwick of that incident and why Schwarz was so upset ("crying") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D772QjpqD7o

Spear tackle?!!! This is a spear tackle:

Hilarious (and a f*cking joke) if that is the case

And I see Burgoyne is at it again. This resulted in a similar penalty as Pickett's: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/hawks-veteran-set-to-again-be-cited-by-mro-after-dangerous-sling-tackle/news-story/aee7b602d4deca20ba41368db5debc28

Not sure if these vids work but both tackles were not dangerous in my opinion. Just the usual crap from biased, corrupt umpires: Tackle 1 - 3rd quarter (I assume this was the one that copped the fine): https://share.vidyard.com/watch/GpymjpxmkHzYhUSozgY5fz? Tackle 2 - 4th quarter: https://share.vidyard.com/watch/heKFcDHi1XPPcVVpW6pgn4?

Probably still not 100% match fit. Played 6 games in 5 years. Needs more kms in the legs and let's hope the legs hold up!

Rankine has had 2 decent games in 2 years. Give me a humble, hard working, tough, fast player like Pickett ahead of an arrogant, injury prone, flash in the pan "magician" like Rankine any day of the week.

Viney should be turned solely into a tagger. He is just not efficient enough in other positions on the ground.

Yeah right, Garry Lyon. The same guy who was instrumental in appointing (in succession) the 2 worst performing senior coaches at MFC of recent times - Dean Bailey (RIP) and Mark Neeld. Neeld totally destroyed our playing group in less than 2 seasons! Lyon was a terrific and much loved player but for me, his commentary about MFC will always be soured by those terrible and destructive decisions. Pretty sure Schwarz, the "simpleton", would never have recommended Neeld or Bailey to the top job back in those days.

A simpleton? Played nearly 200 games of football at the highest level at centre half forward (the most difficult position on the ground) in an era full of champions! His "football analysis" deserves respect in my opinion.

Another great decision by management to base ourselves in a location surrounded by rugby ovals, surf and backpackers. Played on Weldon Oval in the 90s and it is skinnier than Frankston Oval and sandier than the Sahara Desert. Biggest ground (and best surface) we played on back in those days was the one at Mac Uni. Probably got better facilities there now too. And it's a lot f*cking closer to Olympic Park than Manly. But hey, let's just put the players up at one of the most expensive and relaxing beach hotels in Australia. They deserve it.

Sorry to say but nothing is going to change until we find a home. The wheels clearly fell off in 1965 when, amongst other fateful things that year, we were forced to share our ground with Richmond and then in 1985 were effectively kicked off it. The off-field leaders of our Club have made mistakes year upon year and we are now just gypsies p*ssing in the wind.

GIVE US THE FOUR POINTS FFS!!!! This is farcical: https://www.afl.com.au/news/455889/-the-rules-are-pretty-clear-dons-could-play-with-bare-minimum

Absolute farce: https://www.afl.com.au/news/449921/silk-s-danger-ous-tackle-forces-afl-to-make-shock-rule-tweak

Our prelim hero Jordan Lewis said there was "no double action" and it was a "well executed tackle"! https://player.whooshkaa.com/player/playlist/show/1919?visual=true&sharing=true&episode=674266 W*****R.

And let's not forget Dangerfield got BOG the following week. So much for serious concussion

Changed his tune from 9 years ago: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/that-s-afl-footy-dangerfield-had-no-problem-with-burgoyne-tackle-20200612-p5527x.html https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-to-appeal-trengove-suspension-20110511-1ehzx.html "Notman said the medical report detailing Dangerfield's injury was the most damaging evidence produced at the tribunal hearing"

Spot the difference:

No Match Review? Could be some Leigh Matthews-type hits behind play

I agree, he wasn't that bad. The Club might be just giving him some more time to deal with his brother's death. Hope he is okay.

I hope this match gets a mention: http://demonwiki.org/1993+Reserves+Grand+Final Not a bad reserves team: B: Jeff Hilton, Scott Simister, Shane Burgmann HB: Rod Keogh, Andy Goodwin, Haydn Robins C: Darren Cuthbertson, Graeme Yeats, Jason Norrish HF: Brett Evans, Adrian Campbell, Kevin Dyson F: Andrew Lamprill, Darren Bennett, Greg Healy Foll: Greg Doyle, Michael Pickering, Chris Sullivan
