Hmm. Not sure about that BR. From Jordie's Presser, I got the clear implication from him that he thought there was a chance the Umps would, indeed, deem the ploy to be blatant time wasting and hence give him a hurry along. That's why he backed further away from the man on the mark than he'd usually do as insurance, just in case the Umpie called "play on"...

LOL. Absolutely! (I can't claim credit for it anyway. Found that little gem on Facebook! - 'bout all FB is good for, mind you, tossing up the occasional gem like that!)

Very true! And, I think Jordie alluded to this in his Press Conference yesterday. Said he was keeping an eye on the count down clock and also the Umpie. Said he was reasonably confident he'd be okay, as the Umpie also was watching the clock. But, he said, he made sure he went well back from the man on the mark, just in case the Umpie called "play on". So, Jordie was well aware of the Umpie's right to call play on if he deemed it to be deliberate play on. It was, effectively, a gamble on Jordie's part, but a shrewd one that paid off. Well done, Jordie!

Jason Dunstall had a little rant last night about this. Reckoned that, as ANB had taken his 30 seconds before dishing off to Lewis, that Lewis should not have been allowed another 30 seconds. Was moaning that it was blatant abuse of the rules to run down the clock, and that the Carlton supporters would not have liked it!! Thankfully, Browny got stuck into him and told him he was being a complete Boof Head, and that what ANB & Lewis did was smart play, using the rules to their advantage. I usually think Jason has some good things to say. But that was just dumb! Could have mistaken him for just another pathetic Blues supporter!

Settle down, BB! Why are you taking out your anger on your letter? What did it do to you to deserve being "roughed up" by you? Pick on something more your size in future, please! LOL

Or, to put it another way... "Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon... ...No matter how good you are, the bird is going to crap on the board and strut around like it won anyway"...!!

Always had a soft spot for Don Williams, especially given he came and was Captain-Coach of the local Sale side in 1963, prior to his return to the MFC to be part of the 1964 Premiership team. Would be nice if young Seb made it on to the MFC list and was able to emulate some of his Grand-father's footy prowess!

Jordan Lewis said on AFL 360 that he has not earned the right to captain the MDC, and he reckons it will be between Gawn & McDonald. That said, I still wouldn't be surprised to see Jordan named. But will be happy with whoever is appointed, just so long as they lead us to a victory over the blue boys!

In fairness to Mark Robinson, he did state on AFL 360 last night that he thought the penalty should have been only 4 weeks...

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump has got one thing right. And, that's his disdain for the media. And, doesn't that upset them?!! They just can't handle it when someone so high profile goes after them.

What's with the Sgt Schultz quote? "Colonel" Hogan aint playing tonight! LOL

Fox Footy had the Round 1 2011 clash between Melb & the Swans. Swannies led most of the game, until Brad Green put through an absolutely spectacular goal to put us in front with a few minutes to go. Alas, the Swannies managed to kick a point right near the end to end the game in a draw! Trenners played well, and it was Luke Tapscott's first game. He also played well, and they were talking him up as a real find for Melb, and a 10 yr player. Alas, was not to be. Anyway, back to 2017. Big game. Let's see the Mighty Dees bring it home in front of a big Friday Night crowd at the "G"...!!

At least, with the Seniors playing the night before, would presumably mean ALL the emergencies for the senior game will be able to have a run with Casey...!

I still maintain BOTH of last nights farcical decisions should be appealed by the AFL. BOTH were a complete joke!! Why single out just one of them??!!

Apparently the AFL is considering appealing the lenient Houli sentence. Why aren't they also considering appealing the Schofield farce??!!

Difficult to see how he'd run laps withOUT a hamstring, Brendan! (Preferably one in each leg...!) Boom Boom!

Absolutely! He clearly hit Ollie on the chin with his elbow. Was intentional, the Umpire saw it and reported him on the spot. MRP gave him 2 weeks. Could have had it marked down to one if he was a smart cookie and took his medicine. To challenge that deserves the wrath of the tribunal, and the two weeks off. (In fact, they oughta throw a third week at him, just for good measure, as a message to not waste their time on such a clear cut case!)

Just got home from a concert with Marina Prior & David Hobson. Yes, missed the match for the concert! But, so did David, who is a Dees tragic! He announced to the crowd that he was a little distracted tonight, as he had to keep an eye on the game! I had my daughter feeding me scores via text. Made it hard to concentrate on the concert! naturally David (and Me!) was very happy to announce Melb had won! I was about the only person in the crowd to celebrate with him! Shall now wade through the comments and watch the replay, and find out what all the fuss was about. Very happy tonight!!

That's more like it, Clint! You might just get the job! LOL

You won't get a job as a commentator on radio, Clint! "Please explain..."!!

Ta

Scores anybody??

Too complicated for my poor ole brain! But, I DID notice that if both Geelong and Port get rolled this weekend, and we win, we slot into THIRD spot on the ladder! How cool would that be...?!!

Very impressed at the calibre of the man. Clearly a strong character who is held in high regard, and for good reason. Very pleased he was inducted into the HOF, and even more pleased he is our Coach. The lads are in VERY good hands! Well done, Simon, and well deserved!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Would be VERY pleased to see Trenners given another opportunity, and for him to finally get himself back to the form he had pre-injury, and to be a star on the big stage. Would be SO good to see him a part of a successful tilt at finals glory by the MFC. Time is still on his side, so here's hoping...!
