For those of us who can't be there, is anyone planning on reporting on the intra club, say quarter by quarter with a comprehensive wrap to finish?

I'd like at least 1,000 lucid, coherent insightful words please.

    I'm taking my iphone with me so, if I can transmit an the battery holds out, I'll try to provide some descriptions of play.

    That would be much appreciated - and I think in your case I can take the lucid, coherent aspect for granted. Cheers

    Well, we're in front but only just. MFC Red leading White. Brad Miller (2 goals), Petterd, Bail among the better players. Buckley running through the lines. Jetta kicked a nice goal. And started the second quarter with another.

    We're still winning but now it's the MFC White team by 8 points. Petterd BOG to date. Martin, Garland, Grimes and Miller doing well. Neville Jetta moves well and Strauss is a good kick. No Jack Watts.

    Any sign of Jurrah?

    Aussie had a strong quarter and Jamie Bennell came into the game. Shane Valentii and Nathan Jones are getting a lot of the ball. Lynden Dunn looks a bigger unit this year and rookie Trent Zomer is doing OK up forward. Jake Spencer is rucking well.

    Rivers looked to hurt a foot or ankle in the first quarter and hasn't been back on.

    A good win at last. Aussie, Valenti had good last quarters.

    More later.

    good to see valenti cementing his spot hopefully. also good to hear about jones. would love to see an improved version of his 07 form back in action.

    btw, what was the crowd like? was there a good turn out?

  • Quote

    Good turn out crowd wise.

    Not Playing - Robbo, Jurrah, Watts, Wheatley, Davey, Jamar, Blease, McNamara, Maric cant think of any others.

    Hard to tell who was who from the new boys and the Casey fill ins.

    Wona - Great looks magnificent BOG for mine.

    Strauss - Boy can he kick. Really like the look of him.

    Bennell - very good.

    Jetta - just as good.

    Whelan - good.

    Garland -ditto.

    Meesen - eh !

    Morton - got better as the game went on plenty of touches by the end

    Pettard - great physique played quite well.

    I think it was about 13 goals to 11 with the whites having a win

    Bigger crowd then I thought - needed to car park attendants to direct to you free parking spots

    Think Spencer will give you a contest - dont know about skills though. Big enough to play with the big boys now.

    Meesen - god he look good but just doesn't get enough of it nor good at the contest IMO. Did a couple of nice things. Real chance is to turn into a ruckman that runs all day and ends up with 20 touches rather then a dominating big man

    Johnson -Serviceable today

    Jamar - Didn't play

    I'm just glad Rivers isn't an animal. With his track record, he would have been put down a long time ago.

    Someone needs to buy him a bubble to stay inside of.

    Well, he did play a whole 5 minutes, which is an achievement in itself :rolleyes:

    Did you see what actually happened?

    I thought that Newton was just as inept as normal. Not hard at it at all and always running to the wrong space

    Went up for a spoil in an one on one contest side by side with his opponent and when he landed he just landed awkwardly.

    Stopped and held the top of his foot and the tried to run it out for the next minute. Doc wanted him off and he tried to stay out there but did eventually come off.

    Never saw him again after that.

    Might of played on in a normal game. Lets remember this was a intra club game in Feb !

    Lets hope it was more precautionary then anything

    • 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.
