Unfortunately you’re a day out…

I’m guessing that the spelling is the same, but is the Mynott playing for Frankston, any relation to the former St Kilda great?

Who?

Now THAT is my kind of music! He reminds me a little of the Melbourne based singer, Archer. This following song however, is in a style far removed from Jones’s bones’s. I love the fragility of the vocals and the sound in general; a great band in my opinion.

Collingwood and then in no particular order: Essendon, Carlton, Brisbane, Port

While it’s been terrific seeing all of the multiple goal kickers (particularly Roo) and Melksham’s fantastic return, possibly the greatest thing to come out of this game, assuming we keep piling on the goals, will be the pleasure of knocking Collingwood out of the eight!

I like it, but it is a bit (well, a lot, really) over-produced and it does lack the frenetic raw energy (‘power’ belongs to Iggy), of the MC5 of old.

Prescient!!

So that invalidates most of us here on Demonland who write about football? As was stated above by Bing181, it’s an opinion piece by a Dees supporter; he has his platform, we have ours.

I wasn’t potting him… it was a, as it turns out, very poor attempt at a good humoured shot at the use of ‘RoCo’… not keeping up with the ‘socials’ and X in particular, I hadn’t known that he went by that ScoMo-like nomenclature.

Or ‘e) All of the above’.

I’d much rather see us make a play for Max King. Yes he’s contracted until the end of 2026, but that doesn’t mean he’s not gettable.

I’m usually the ‘eternal optimist’, but I cannot see any way out of the hole we have dug ourselves into. We had lost pretty much ALL momentum (not that we had a lot to begin with), even before the loss of Trac! The only way we could have any hope, would be if Oliver and Viney magically found form and showed some real leadership. Max can’t do it on his own, and even after Lever returns, it’s going to be a big ask. I fear that our chances of making the eight, have vanished with the loss of Trac. I consider Hawthorn a better chance to play finals, than the Dees.

RoCo??? Oh spare me, please!! I suppose he’ll be listing himself as an ‘Influencer’ or ‘Digital Creator’, soon.

MFC Headquarters, January 2025…

I’ve also watched the slo-mo reply numerous times. My take is that Moore’s eyes were on the ball for the entire time (he never lined up Trac), the only way he was going to be able to effect a spoil, was to launch himself in the way that he did, and lastly (and probably most importantly), he did effect the spoil. Unfortunately when a running player launches, one knee will most likely be pointing out… if he had launched and it was obvious he had no chance of spoiling, then yes, there would be a case, but that’s not how it went.

Ok, that’s all reasonable and yes, I understand why certain aspects of the game have had to be reassessed; the Maynard/Brayshaw incident being a case in point for change. Concussions have become an all too regular occurrence in the game and something had to be done… not that the change in rules seems to have had much effect, given the number of concussions we’ve had this year… perhaps they need to make changes that will slow down the pace of the game? Injuries as we’ve seen with Trac and May are far less regular occurrences, so I don’t know what the answer is there (again, slowing the game down?). Speccies (or however it’s spelt 😄) can also result in shoulder and wrist injuries and even concussions, is that acceptable? Do we keep watering the game down, or do we accept that debilitating injuries, as rare as they may be, will occur from time to time? It’s a bit of a conundrum. And please accept my apologies… I wasn’t inferring that you were blaming Moore, it just struck me at the time of writing, that too many were.

By whose ‘consensus’ am I wrong? You’ve already attempted to twist Barrett’s words in another of your posts, so it’s hard to take that comment seriously. My opinion on the Brayshaw incident has absolutely nothing to do with my opinion on this incident.

Neither did Moore!

Please quote the lines from that article that suggest that Moore deliberately knee’d Trac in the back. He was referencing the decision to allow him back on the field and suggesting that he could suffer more damage.

In that case you are going to have to rule out the good old ‘speccy’, as in most cases that does require the lifting of the knee in order to get purchase on the player in front’s back. How about everyone stop trying to find a villain (in this case, Moore), as this was purely a footballing accident involving a player leaping in order to effect a spoil, in a marking contest.

I haven’t seen the photo, but unless it’s attached to a drip, the cannula could be there for a CT scan? The finger monitor is merely there to measure oxygen levels in the red blood cells (I’d get one of those put on my finger whenever they check my blood pressure just before having my chemo infusion).

I’ve seen you post his close to half a dozen times already… sorry, I believe that to be nonsense. Moore flew for the mark no differently to the way in which most players do; it was an unfortunate footballing accident; there is no way that he targeted Trac in that contest. Sure there’s a lot to hate about the Pies, but Moore is one of the only players of theirs that I actually admire as a hard but fair player. If you’re suggesting that the ‘knee out’ position in marking contests should be reportable, then you can pretty much kiss the ‘speccy’ goodbye.

I thought he was excellent in The Big Lebowski.
