Gordon.......lawyer........double standards. I see no anomaly.

Now we know that will never happen, and in fact Gill will do all he can to get them back towards the top. But it would be great for the game were any (or all) of the suspended ones to walk as free agents without any compensation to the club that set up and involved them in that immoral unethical criminal saga of uncontrolled human experimentation

When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?

Extraordinary stats. And where is Mr Goldstein?
-
Aaron Davey was great at this. I vividly remember a WCE game at the G - he hovered 10 metres in front of the kick off line. The WCE guy tried once or twice to chip and run only to be run down. He was terrified to do it again for the rest of the match. We should try again with our fastest chaser camped there to pressure the kicker-in.
-
May well have been but didn't get the pill often enough to show whether he was or not. A bad recruiting strategy. (I was a reasonable kick as a junior, but couldn't get it either).
-
So AFL! These two are not mutually exclusive options One would have to be pretty confident of the outcome of the GT to hold a place until 11:59 though. Any if EssUndone and the AFL conspire again who knows what rule change on the run they will implement?
-
I saw that missed mark, missed hands on shoulders free and had exactly the same thoughts as you. Clearly a free kick against just about anyone else, but the maggots seem as obsessed as Bruce in particular. Similarly the 'mark of the week' contender by Cyrrrriiiiillltll vs the far better, gutsy mark by Pedersen. Cyrrrriiiiillltll can do no wrong, both regarding free kicks for and against, and by the MRP and tribunal.

Surely Hunt Deserves a Rising Star Nomination

Awards aside, this guy has just amazing pace, and takes it on. Fantastic to watch. His opening goal on Saturday was just so exciting. Where can one access the 'yards (metres) gained' stats? -
Yeah. Sure. They may get a roasting for not getting their team over the line, but that will be all.
-
He only slapped him because he couldn't get his knee that high :-(
-
Sure he does some things better but does he bring the ball to ground as well?
-
I read somewhere that the MRP deemed it to the head, but low impact. Regardless they had to tailor it to keep the darling on the field. Bernie may like to chat to Pedo about that, though Pedo's assailant didn't even get cited as I recall.
-
The sling / spear tackle by Cyrrrrrriiilll on Weideman was of course ignored. Had Viney or Oliver done it to the protected one all hell would break loose. I mistakenly believed that lifting a player up then driving him into the ground was a definite no no. Such is the inconsistency and corruption of the MRP.
-
Sort of surprised that the maggots, given their lack of understanding of the game, didn't think the same - "no way a mere mortal could do that so must have been a throw"
-
One week at a time We would need to do what we haven't done for ages: win five on the trot Not saying we can't, just that we need to I was going to pose the same question.
-
That is just an extraordinary piece of play.....from anyone, let alone a guy in his first year coming back from a stint at VFL. Strength Balance Vision Confidence Oe of the best individual efforts I have ever seen And he actually dished off a legitimate hand pass, unlike Mitchell and Hodge. Flabergastering!
-
Get him back for a pep (not peptide) talk before our next game vs EssUndone.
-
I don't think that not promoting a young kid who kicked 4 at VFL in his first game back after not playing for most of the season means that the "non promotee" is a new whipping boy. He needs more game time but just may have resurrected his career.

THE MOST AWESOME POST MATCH THREAD EVER!!!
monoccular replied to red and blue forever's topic in Melbourne Demons
Sorry Dante. If you don't think experiencing the Demons in the 1950s and early 1960s is a reason to be happy, nay, ecstatic, then you will never be happy. JW4 has added bodily strength and self confidence to his never questioned ball skills and play reading skills and has advanced from being a promising skilled player to an essential gun through 2016 And did his acolytes mention the slam dunk spear tackle? Wasn't Viney, or maybe Oliver, cited or at least penalised for such action. Or Mitchell's punch to the face? -
A very nice dilemma, for a change. I hope that Hogan is really 100% and not 90% if they consider bringing him back. Pedo would be the obvious but hugely unlucky omission. But I suspect yesterday has finally settled any discussion re him vs Dawes.
-
I suspect he would, had this not been his first game back in a long time. Still, if JKH keeps this up for the remainder of the VFL season he may well get a reprieve. To hose who saw the Casey game - has Kennedy earned a recall over Garlett, who has been down for few weeks now

THE MOST AWESOME POST MATCH THREAD EVER!!!

DD - happily I am old enough to remember the period 1955-64 What joy. Looking forward to a repeat 2017-27 He will get cleared, and for his slam dump tackle Mitchell, the little sniper, will also be cleared, or fined, for the cheap hit on JW4 Hard to see any of them getting a game in the foreseeable future -
Just love his set shot routine - hope Jesse was watching.

Mitchell gets away with cheap sniping on a regular basis. I will bet he will get off....a fine at most.
