Pie fans following up their classy act of chanting while a player is unconscious with victim blaming.

Who is that other player that was stretchered off? Poor, poor Bruz, so hard done by, the media is pathetic.

I always thought tackling was a football action. How many players have been suspended this year for tackles?

That’s it exactly. All the other talk is deflection.

How many times do people need to hear that the AFL position all year has been that the incoming player has a duty of care and must take responsibility for what happens if the head is contacted given his decision to take the action he did. He had options and chose to brace. Pretty simple. Given...

Really. Commentators trying to get him off already. Chose to leave the ground, hit the head, knocked the player out. You’ve got to be kidding.

Tell me again how umpires don’t affect the results of games!

Wow the Pies are the greatest team in AFL history. We all love them. I hope they manage to get the media attention they so rightly deserve.

Headline from “Access all Areas” “Crows threw it away, Clutch Pies”

Put this on DLand, maybe someone here can explain what is really going in, cause I’m baffled. What concerns me is that the FD seems to be chasing their tail with no carefully considered and executed plan for the forwards. For example Goody was firm that Petty would be playing forward, Tommo...

Some great players today but special mention to Tomlinson and Smith who don’t get a lot of love in these parts.

Do the fox commentators get paid for their work. “Melbourne’s main problem is an inability to score” We are one of the highest scoring teams.

I think we can all agree that currently as far as the AFL and media are concerned the AFL comprises “Collingwood and …some other teams.” Disclaimer: Even I, as a lifelong Pies hater see them in their current iteration as an entertaining team and McRae almost makes them likeable. Ahhhh!

A week or two ago - player injured - tribunal - crickets

So I presume all on here who have a player on a team they support suspended in the future for going spoil, contacting head and no injury will be fine with a 2 week suspension. Should be a dozen or so this week.

Does anyone honestly believe if was Bont instead of JVR he would have been suspended?

The tribunal result will make no difference at all to how the game is played. There will be dozens of similar incidents in coming weeks with no report as in attempted spoil, head contact, no injury - no report. By then the media will have a new shiny object to focus on and this suspension will...

There is an easy to get into car park directly across from the ground. Go past the ground, do a U turn and enter paddock car park.

I love footy pods, spend far too much time listening. Top job guys, great discussion. Respect for Schmutt, blessed cursed with a great memory of Dees games.

Great news this!!!

Wondered about that but wasn’t sure about his comeback from injury and if it makes the backline too tall. Just doesn’t seem the week to go tall front and back.

The Press Conference did seem to lean towards BBB back in so presume Petty to backline to replace Hibbo. Lever in doubt so not sure who would come in for him, maybe someone to sit on Stringer who Goody identified as being a target. Perhaps Harmes although Goody said he will be at Casey. I am...

Don’t know about all this extra alias accounts stuff but do get tired of 2 or 3 of the same posters hijacking most threads with their back and forth. Not fun if you want to talk footy with various viewpoints. D’Land these days more Dee footy focussed to be honest.

Just put this on D’Land and thought appropriate for here as well. Just watched the Gus and Gawny Pod where they spent most of it interviewing two people from the Reach Organisation that Jim set up. Very, very good. I may be biased but I feel our club does a great job outside of the footy field...

Can the Mods recognise Clarrie’s 150 games this week by adding it to the thread dedicated to him.

Congratulations on 150 games Clarrie! Already in the conversation of one of Melbourne’s greatest players. Keep going as you are and will be one of the AFL’s greatest ever. We are lucky to have him.

Daniela had the perfect reply to Grant You’re pathetic Grant, Max has had multiple knee injuries & has every right to spend some time processing what has just happened. Your idea of leadership is protecting someone like Milne & adult men sleeping with school girls.

I know it won’t happen but Tommo staying in, Petty forward is appealing. The amazing going forward forward line with JVR and Petty killing it for years to come. Our very own Curnow and Mackay!

Probably been covered - so as the rule stands in a GF with 1 point difference and 10 minutes to go the team in front wins if they can’t come back on. Sounds like a solid rule AFL!

Viney shocker, presume he and Fritsch will be better for the run. May be time for the forward line to look to the future. Obviously lost it in mids and clearances. Harmes is a worry. Slippery night, weird vibe, hopefully an outlier for us but also a wake-up call. Last 11 minutes were kinda fun.
