Was great to see the Legends do a lap at the 'G' today. (though I am getting sick of seeing relatives with players at every occasion).

Was particularly pleased to hear the cheers when certain players names were announced - in particular Shane Woewodin.

Though he did sweat red and blue, I agreed with the decision to sell him at the time. But gee, it was great to see him there and hear the fans give him a cheer.

Must have been great for the players to run thorugh the line up of past MFC players at the start of the game.

Well done MFC - it was a very well planned day - despite the loss,

Moose

    Can someone tell me where Garry Lyon was? He didn't call the game on MMM (or so I heard), but that shouldn't have prevented him from being there anyway.

    Did anyone else get just slightly annoyed with the constant playing of the theme song?

    I thought it was a bit much before the game, when we hadn't won anything.

    I thought the trumpeter going out of time was a bit funny. Everyone clapping along to the trumpeting Grand Old Flag tune then he does a bit of freestyle between verses and all the clapping has to stop and retime :lol:

    Was good, but my only criticism is that the club padded out ther affair with alot of players who had very short careers and certainly not "legend" or "hero" status.

    Me neither.

    I actually thought the MFC deserves some credit for the functions on the weekend and well done to all that attend the functions and participated..

    Apparently he was double booked weeks in advance - said so on F/C

    His kids were there though

    Did sound odd, because even on F/C he said that he only found out about the march a couple of weeks ago. Please. It's been paraded around by the club (no pun intended) since late last year. In our 150th birthday celebration weekend, with a game against Collingwood, odd he wouldn't think something was on.

    Oh well

    Makes you wonder how close Garry Lyon has been to behind the scenes at MFC in the past. Hope that changes going forward. Lyon could bring alot to the Club...if he wanted to.

    I was surrounded by Pies fans and they pretty much all cheered for Woey. So that might explain the loud roar.

    Yes, I agree.

    The game was a Melbourne HOME game. They should play the theme song 100 times before every home game in my opinion. They should also drape red and blue across every possible spare inch of space at the ground and they should fly MFC flags from every possible flag pole in sight.

    Call it a dream but it was nice to actually have a home game feel like one for once.

    Yesterday in general just felt like a real FOOTY day, in the sense that everything about it felt like you were really at the footy. Walking to the G in drizzly conditions certainly helped.

    Fights in the game, big crowd, historic conditions (because as if we get to play on a saturday on the G), tough game, close one, a few really good perfomances, overcast.

    Only thing missing was the result

    Why would i get annoyed hearing "It's a Grasnd old Flag" played on ouir home ground?? Haven't heard it much lately-Played while the "Filth Fans" had to sit and Listen. Doesn't get much better than that I reckon.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
