Maynard must get at least four weeks
Young Angus replied to leave it to deever's topic in Melbourne Demons
Turned into an episode of a courtroom drama, the expensive lawyers and case building and experts etc. just won the day in court. AFL needed their own experts to rebut the pies experts. Bit of a sad joke this whole process and outcome, what a shame, guess it's open season on running towards someone and smashing them into oblivion so long as you're trying to smother and can make it look like a footy act. The AFL has undone a lot of the hard work they did this year with this outcome. -
Jeez, anything else? Grundy being in our team is amazing, I love it, want him to stay I don't care what anyone says. Glad he's there. Those pies hey, that game was a shocker, I have some faith but honestly if we make it past this week it'll be amazing. Brisbane will be licking their lips at all this.

Maybe the Melbourne grown-ups think JVR just deserve a smack on the bum for doing what he did, so they're just letting it lie so he can think about what he did. Was pretty silly really, fight or no fight there's no way we'd think it was very reasonable or mature if a rival club went to defend something as brazen as that elbow. I want him in too, but he was a naughty boy.

Flare and daring...gee, guess which other coach this year comes to mind with these two words...give you a clue...they finished on top!
-
It's that kind of vibe isn't it...god I miss Melksham :(
-
Really highlights the whole former player boys club thing...pretty disappointing and disgusting really, shame on them.
-
Question...can Fritsch actually tackle? I never see him tackle...

Kane and Bucks occasionally make sense about something, but them pushing the "footy act" barrow on this really makes them sound pretty dumb. -
The whole "footy act" argument is so irrelevant...it's a physical game yes, but in every decision is a very significant "duty of care" because of the significant outcomes if that "duty of care" is not taken into consideration. I'm sure he didn't want to hurt him, but he breached that duty of care and hurt him badly, like it or not footy fans that's the kind of thing we need to be stamping out of the game because life long head injuries just aren't worth it for anyone. This whole narrative should be about the "duty of care" so you don't hurt your fellow colleagues whether they're opponents or not, you're all playing the same game you twits, enough with this "footy act" [censored] anyone who is pushing that barrow is just as much a part of the problem. If a "footy act" results in serious head injuries it probably shouldn't be allowed now should it. Would our perspective be different if we were on the other side of this? Not sure...I'd like to think our players have a bit more sense than to jump full steam at another player running full stem right towards them like a game of chicken. That never seemed like a good idea, pretty obvious outcome whether you get the spoil or not, someone is going to get pretty badly hurt.
-
The only person taking pack splitting marks was Petty and sometimes Melksham...this tactic didn't work for us very well last game did it? Stop the long bombs, they don't work, lower and smaller and more dynamic please.
-
Looked second rate. We are not second rate, we need to get our heads out of our bums, most of our good players didn't look that good the other night...but I'm pretty sure they still are.
-
We can beat Brisbane up there, yes they're having a party up there right now but we can take them...we just need to get our house in order, we have the tools.
-
I think we need to stop framing it as a "ruck combo", Grundy is just a decent player and I want him on the team.
-
Btw so sick of the continuous long bombs and looking so slow, not to mention bad kicking. It was just one of those nights where nothing went Melbourne's way and everything went Collingwood's...they're very good, but we had a terrible night and nothing fell out way. We are way better than that and I hope we turn it on against Carlton or I'll be very cross.
-
Would love that too, why not?? Does Tmac stay in? I don't even care if JVR gets suspended or not I'd rather see Turner come in for him at this stage and I want Grundy in there too. Grundy is a quality unit, he needs to be in there, just don't ask Max to change his game and tell Grundy to just be better!! I know Tmac only had the one game, but bugger it: Out Tmac, JVR, Brayshaw, Chandler In Grundy, Turner, Jordan, Spargo Chandler sub
-
Hey that's interesting...
-
I for one hope like hell Grundy comes in, just don't make Max change his game, Grundy does what Jackson used to do and you know what, he's a quality footballer too and can still move well enough and he should be in there. Makes sense, second ruck, can still kind of play like a big mid fielder, c'mon stop the haters Grundy is great he's just had a bunch of crappy games but did we lose those games because of the ruck? Or because we just played a bit [censored] and couldn't kick goals hmmm?
-
Hibberd was decent, gotta bring Tomo in though. I thought Smith was good up forward, the whole forward line was pretty rubbish though and just bombing it in was [censored] and predictable. Grundy in for JVR, then if Tmac out bring in Schache, he's a good kick and can't hurt, at least Tmac did something but just looked too slow (the whole team looked a bit slow to be honest). JVR needs to grow up. Spargo or JJ for Brayshaw, the other one a sub instead of Laurie, maybe Taj too he was pretty good when he played. I hope they practice their kicking again before next match, that was hard to watch.
-
Never underestimated how big a deal that was, it was always a massive out for us and the season. He would have helped us win!
-
Stuff drafting a kid, poach a key forward.
Young Angus replied to Gorgoroth's topic in Melbourne Demons
Total thug, looks like someone you'd see on crimestoppers. -
I really hope Schache finds some mongrel mojo and gets into form, would love to see him do well and if he did he'd be an asset to the club up forward. C'mon Schack...ATTACK!!!
-
What exactly are the guidelines can you elaborate please? Does it say you just can't play AFL listed players come finals? Surely not, I remember a few of them playing in the VFL granny last year.
-
I also heard this...THE MELKSHAM RETURN!!! Made me very happy and excited that it sounds like he will be trying to recover and get back to footy ASAP...gosh I hope this happens...C'MON MILKSHAKE THE DEES AREN'T DONE WITH YOU YET 😁
-
I want to see Schache break out and become an absolute animal...talent is there, just needs to be poked and prodded and [censored] off a bit...would love to see him but with a temper!
-
Grundy sub I say!
