Off topic I know, but it's prima donna. Comes from a girl bring the main ballerina in a group, rather than the "singer".

LOL...thanks for the correction.....yep, the title fits.

Can't bounce it when being tackled IIRC

Hmm, fair enough I guess. I thought the Ump misinterpreted the bounce as dropping it haha.

 

[Scotland]

Out at pre-madonna.

Feel a bit sorry for Tom Lynch. Between Majak Daw and Melbourne he's not going to get the airtime he deserves for booting 10.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Why is campaigner not playing?

 

[Stiubhart]

Says a lot about Rodan and Pederson if they can't get in the firsts the way Melbourne are going.
I will be genuinely gobsmacked if Richmond don't win by a 100 next week.

 

[Righteo]

Maybe Sylvia WANTED to be banned from playing for melbourne for a while?

This actually sounds plausible.

 

[WinmarToLockett]

So this is what it's come to for Melbourne fans eh?

There's not a whole lot else to get excited about.

Didn't see the incident, by the way. Hope Brennan is alright.

 

[Old_Man_James]

Never heard anything like it! Only listening on radio, but the combination of the low crowd and the result means that I can hear each individual insult coming through the effects microphone!

Re Beer: Monteiths (if not trolling)

 

[Rod Stroker]

LOL at Byrnes

 

[Burzum]

Why is campaigner not playing?

Hammy.

 

[RuFiO]

What was that by Brynes..............?
That was the worst play I've ever seen.

 

[Noobz0r]

How ridiculous is it that melbournes list gets paid just 5% less than Hawthorns and Geekongs.

They need to meet the minimum salary cap (95% or something?) somehow*

Hamstring injury.

 

[RUNVS]

Why is campaigner not playing?

He is injured.

 

[placebo]

I remember at the start of the year all of the Melbourne fans defending the drafting/trading of Byrnes and Dawes...from memory, it was to add experience to the group.

It must be horrible knowing how wrong they were. I mean...Byrnes...really? Really?

 

[SM]

Thing is, we all laugh at Melbourne now, but this could well be the scoreline for most teams against GC in a few years.

 

[Randomizor]

How is Melbourne going to score at all against highly defensive sides like Sydney and Freo?

 

[TheKanga]

Melbourne are the biggest discrace in history. Who would win, '96 Fitzroy team or '13 Melbourne?

Fitzroy by 5 goals

 

[Selective Retention]

Commentators have just completely given up on calling the play.

 

[Badesumofu]

Hmm, fair enough I guess. I thought the Ump misinterpreted the bounce as dropping it haha.

Not a misinterpretation. The rule doesn't refer to dropping, it requires a player to correctly dispose of the ball. That is, handball or kick.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Fitzroy by 5 goals

Two rabbles but one had soul.

 

[SE_Blue]

Gee...

 

[Igloo]

Commentators have just completely given up on calling the play.

I liked that we got a bit of a mention. Possibly the most entertaining part of the game for me.

Well our defence was rather terrible yesterday
