I don't think that I've seen anything worse at AFL/VFL level since the days of the old Army Reserve Cup when a Collingwood seconds player decided to emulate the activity of the competition's sponsor by declaring war on everyone who happened to be on or near the vicinity of the ground.

The only thing that comes close in my memmory again involved the collingwood ressies when dermie stomped on a sydney players head.

    Good old John Bourke. I reckon Slug Jordan's commentary of the incident was just as legendary.

    Shame that he didn't try to emulate Burke by jumping the fence and punching Pratt in the nose.

    If you look at the footage on the Herald sun, you will see that the ground that they are playing on is completley brown. no fresh grass.

    They were originally planning to use Casey Fields but Melbourne didn't want them to use it.

    Plugger got reported for hitting a teammate in an intra club game while with the Saints.

    That Dermie clip is on YouTube somewhere too. His excuse was he meant to stand on his hand, not head :lol:

    Good.

    Carlton can go and get fudged!

    Dick Pratt can surely buy them some grass or something :rolleyes:

    No, Essendon.

    Well I still stand by my previous comments regarding Carlton ;)

    It's shocking footage indeed. Rumours (unconfirmed) of bad blood between the two, apparently things are so fractious those two couldn't even agree on the price of cardboard.

    • 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.
