Absurd. He was tackling from the side for f's sake!

What a clanger Petty we were lucky to get away with that

[censored] just letting the crowd do the umpiring. What an [censored].

The vision was appalling. Lynch is an absolute dog. They also had footage that other incident when he casually whacked a player that was prostrate on the ground in the back of the head, without even blinking. Deliberate acts felling a defender during a centre bounce puts the forwards in a huge advantage if they win a centre clearance. Hate to be clichéd, but it is far outside the spirit of the game.

Great interview Kiran and Nita. For those who haven't heard it yet, I was moved by a story Kate Roffey related where Laurie (I think) had copped an injury, and given that she recalled Trac had a knee reco and had thus related through his first year, she suggested that he seek him out for a chat - he responded that Trac had already dropped around to visit him. That just speaks volumes on where we are as a club - culture, maturity, the love they have for each other - and Trac's personal qualities. Brilliant stuff.

We look like we're running in treacle around the centre bounces

Looooooving TMac's marking and set shot kicking!

Umpiring is disgraceful

Fmd great effort to touch the ball on the line and all we hear from brayshaw is how good Eddie betts was

It would be better for all parties if he departed the game silently and completely.

Best news I've heard all week!

Good point re. the Dogs over Port scenario. It's such an unfamiliar feeling as a (1980s onward) Melbourne supporter, this whole top-of-the-ladder caper!

Geez a port win and Dees win will give us a 2 game buffer at the top of the ladder. Fingers crossed we bring the pressure on Sunday.

Thanks, I'll have to check some of those out! The Lystics podcast I have listened to - really insightful deep dives on the state of each club's list and draft prospects, etc.

"Attention to Deetail" is a fairly recent entry to the MFC-related podcast landscape that I also listen to (in addition to Demonland, The Deebrief, The Dees Podcast & Deeluded).

...because the list only shows streaks by teams that did not go on to win the flag that year.

Hahahahahahahaha how many [censored] do they have at that club?

Yeah, I do miss the long red socks. It was a striking part of the uniform. And frankly if our home game I'd rather see them forced into wearing white socks or something against our red ones, but perhaps the clubs have come to this agreement mutually for both home & away.

There was chat about this in the gameday thread I think. Seems it may be to disambiguate our players legs from theirs - e.g. whose leg did an out of bounds on the full come off, etc.

This dead-set infuriates me. May can't look sideways at someone without copping MRO scrutiny. Buddy was oiled up more than the Alaskan coast post-Exxon Valdez. Initial contact was to the arm, not high. Should be treated similarly to when players duck to milk a high tackle - play on!

Dammit, was that the first time this year we haven't won the last quarter? 2.1 to Syd 2.2?

Love Spargo's football-focused tenacity.

Can someone tell harmes to stay out of Jackson's way?

Gorgeous kick there from Tmac.

I could just cry. How good is this news!
