2009 Season Guide

My 2009 Season Guide just arrived. Looks good. I like the A4 size, and the detailed player portraits with interesting 'Dean Bailey Says' comments for every player. A moving tribute to Tiger Ridley is a feature, too.

Is it still an "almanac"? I rather liked that idea. We lose good words through everybody appealing to too much simplicity.

I got mine yesterday and spent the day going over it. I like the look of it also.

I'm very impressed with the content. Although I can't help thinking that there is a lost opportunity for plugging our new sponsors, but I guess that timing was not on our side.

I particularly liked the article about Casey Scorps and our new affiliation. I'm quite excited by this.

Good read overall...

Gippy

Interesting question. On the cover, it doesn't actually say what it is. Just MebourneFC and 'Bringing Back the Demon'. Inside, though, each page has a header and it's there that it's called 'Season Guide 2009'.

These things go to print well in advance. To have had sponsors in the magazine, we would have needed to announce them a month or two ago.

  • 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.
