Jake Melksham has been suspended for two matches (reduced to one for an early plea) by the VFL Match Review Panel for a striking offence against a Werribee player in the fourth quarter of the match on Saturday.

Ok "KIcking the dew off" is a classic old footy saying that refers to the first match of the day, usually in the morning, when the grass is still dewy from overnight. I wasn't impugning your footballing talent.

Odd time for a reserves game to be starting!

I remember hearing that TDK would do amazing things for our system. edit: In case you're scratching your head ...

Sad to say he was indeed booed in his return game at the MCG. It was obvious that he was hurt by this.

That seems a high price to pay for a 33 year old Ed Curnow.

This whole "Mum" shtick is really stale. Is Ed Langdon a "Mummy's boy" because he elected to come home to Victoria?

For Fremantle?

More fun facts about Fred Fanning: - His 97 goals that year were the highest of any Melbourne player before or since. - The game where he kicked 18 was the last game of the season in 1947. - His next game was for Hamilton in the Western District League where he was offered a coaching position for an amount of money four times his VFL pay and Melbourne couldn't/wouldn't match it. - He kicked 22 goals in one of his games for Hamilton.

I could understand that.

@Deemania since 56 why the laughing emoji for my purely factual Fanning post?

No.

Fanning's first 18 shots were all goals. He missed his 19th late in the last quarter.

Wouldn't it be lovely to hear a slow chant of "Colleeeeeeeeee Wobbles" ringing out around the MCG midway through the last quarter as despondent Pies fans file out with their heads hung low.

Maybe we need to learn to get our retaliation in first.

Just had a look. I think it's the lead up to the 3rd quarter Hunter "rain dance" goal. That is, of course, unless he grabbed at it twice.

They probably consoled themselves by getting stuck into the boooooze on the flight home.

St Kilda showcasing the Belgian national colours. The Saints actually switched to those colours during WWI as the German colours were red, black and white.

"Could be sidelined for up to a month" says Ralph. Let's wait for something a bit more definitive from the club. It might not be the catastrophe some are fearing.

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?

At home games, their fans just go with the first three letters.

And there's my new word for the day!

We'll ... all ... be ... Runed ... said ... beezlebub.

What happened to Bowser?
