"They all mean something - we act like that don't but they do....Marcellus knew it, she knew and Antwan shoulda known better...."
Everytime I hear the MFC players and supporters deny the significance of them playing/dancing to 'Freed from Desire' on the ground (on the ground) after the GF it reminds me of this scene.
I would actually 100% understand it if they did it to rub our players noses in it - but if that's the case, say it's the case. OWN IT. Don't say 'it was one of 20 songs we played' or 'we always do that'. Say "look, there was bad blood after we played them at the G earlier in the year and we don't like them. We saw that stupid dance they did to make it in...we wanted to remind them that there is a time to celebrate and 'getting there' is not that time.
As to the public reaction which I think they (MFC) would all have liked to avoid - particularly with their president talking up their great culture in the aftermath of the Goodwin scandal - well, after the leaked video (very silly btw) from the week before with the Dog's players celebrating and dancing to that song, they had to know it would feel like they were taking a shot (or two). And if they didn't know it would seem that way (to the Dogs and the public), well, just like Tony Rocky-Horror, they 'shoulda' known.
I'm actually not sure if our players:
a/. Are in the sort of form needed to hand out the belting they want to hand out.
b/. Have the requisite 'attitude' to want to take revenge 'Marcellus' style.
The reality is though, an OVER-Reaction (aka throwing Antwan off the roof and through the green-house) is what is required here. Melbourne should be expecting a reaction - they deserve a reaction. I hope they get the over-reaction I think they deserve. Yep - they were 19 points down and kicked 16 goals to 1 from that point, and winners are grinners and losers can please themselves and all of that...but there is/was absolutely no need to rub anyones face in it the way that they did.
Tomorrow's game shouldn't be close. Dogs by 54.

, can someone please bookmark it). It's just necessary to show we stand for something as historically, our reactions to this sort of needle have been poor e.g. the taunting of JJ, allowing ourselves to be bullied by GWS. It does worry me that we have no-one currently on our list with the mongrel and desperation of some of the 2016 mob - that moment when Clay Smith laid that unbelievable bump on Griffen stands out - what if someone had done that to stem those 'toilet break' goals?
