Caro will try & write one of these at least once a week till she snuffs it.

Somehow people still perceive Richmond to be a "Power Club" so the AFL seem to KowTow to them.

Although i must say Having Benny Gale as CEO is a great move, as he is a Top Operator.

(He & Michael lived just up the road from me back in the'90's, both of them Great Blokes)

It is fair enough, The Tigers have been tenants at teh 'G since they left Punt Road and then they lost fixtures from the 'G once the 'G guaranteed an extra 100k per home game because clubs like North etc started to request more games moved from teh Dome to the 'G. So why should any on the 'G tenant clubs be punished for stupid deals other clubs did with the Etihad

There's only one tenant of the G that matters ;)..the one who's home it really is...all others are guests !!

Its our ground and others can go fumble and fossick for games elsewhere for all I care.

Who gives a stuff about the Other Tennants at the MCG. The MCG is the home of Melbourne. If Richmond are disgruntled let them sulk back to Punt Road.

I don't feel any sympathy for that Rabble in terms of the MCG

Since the end of the season a bunch of teams have said they want more games at the 'G.

Within a few years I'd be unhappy but not surprised if we got shunted out to TD for a few home games each season, a la Optus Oval etc.

or not !!

Nth will falter badly over the next few years and willin alllikely hood be selling games left right and centre.

Melbourne needs to get bolder and more determined in its approach to the AFL This is our ground..our home. Let others go play elsewhere if you need them to

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
