Round 5 Melbourne v Fremantle - Sunday 3rd May - MCG

[honza]

Tackler just doesn't get rewarded enough. Too often players just drop or throw the ball out to no penalty whatsoever.

Good, keeps the ball moving.

Yeah there's more emphasis by rule-makes on keeping the ball moving and/or trying to make an effort as opposed to executing skills correctly when being tackled.

Yeah but too often it crosses the line, especially when players drop the ball and immediately get a free for holding the man.

Forcing players to dispose the ball correctly and quickly will keep the ball moving

[auscoyote]

Don't do this to me vandenberg!!!

Vanders on field, Gus on bench....

Same

[kilbluff1985]

did anyone else see Hulk Hogan in Demons cheer squad

[Grazz]

Dee's doing well.  :)

[Purple 77]

Hogan goal was soft, very much so, but it made up for advantage not being paid, which robbed a goal off us.

Dees hanging in there... but I reckon Freo are just too good at the moment.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Yeah Demons plenty competitive. Freo could have a few issues if Pavlich doesn't come back

[Purple 77]

First quarter was atrocious by us, but we played our brand in the second quarter, which is keeping up, which is promising  :)

[Nige]

Walters getting subbed is annoying in Euros.  :(

Helps for BXVs though.  :P

[LF]

Pav gone for the game now
Dees have subbed off Salem ffs

[Gigantor]

Salem to Tarrant, masterstroke :)

[AaronKirk]

Salem on field hurts. Hogan not going well on field hurts....

[Mat0369]

Was Salem injured?
