i have no problem getting career mfc players just over the line for a milestone game before they retire. if we were aiming for finals it wouldnt have happened, but it is a good thing to do. if we show loyalty to players we're in a position to demand it back.

    Injury has slowed this guy down, he was an elite player just a shame we took the gamble and paid the big bucks to find out, and his last game against the hawks was more than average kept us in it for a long way i did enjoy dutchy smiling to the crowd that day 3 goals not bad for a chump i would say

    When was he an elite player?

    Actually, it sounded like it was JIMMY that said to him that he needs just 2 more games to reach 300/ life membership.

    That's what Ooze said.

    Then if it was Stynes that decided Ooze should get to 300 games, I have major concerns. Also, I was under the impression we hired Slade group to find us a new CEO (at no doubt considerable cost), and yet all I read about Craig Camerons decision to rethink and accept the role was that Stynes kept ringing him asking him to reconsider. Should that not be the role of the Slade Group to canvass and follow up candidates, not the President?

    I know Jimmy is only new to the role, but if he doesnt want accusations cast on him as being a control freak, he needs to let selectors and consultants undertake their roles independantly and trust their decisions.

    Craig Cameron's?

    Don't you mean Cameron Schwab's?

    That would be a stupid decision. If Holland is to come in it should be for Newton.

    My thoughts precisely, Holland to FF.

    I agree, and if reports from the luncheon are correct, I wouldn't be surprised if Newton missed.

    IMO Holland will be the supporting ruckman option guys. Not to say he won't go foward and kick some sausage rolls...

    That seems probable. Looking at the team, you'd think that White will ruck, with Holland forward, then when White needs a break maybe he'll go to the bench and Holland will ruck.

    • 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.
