Every Friday morning Peter Keenan gives his footy tips on ABC radio. In the past he has been a serial critic of his former club, always talking up his beloved North Melbourne. I noticed in the last couple of weeks he has changed his tone. this morning it was, "Melbourne, the team I played eight years for".

    Joke of a human being that bloke. I'd make the switch to SEN if I were you.

    Hear that? Listen a little closer. Now you have got it!

    It is the sound of those climbing out of the woodworks and jumping on the back of a once very light bandwagon.

    We might need to get those brakes serviced, something tells me this bandwagon is going to start getting a tad heavy over the next few years.

    I welcome them with open arms, provided they sign up and stay regardless of the outcome.

    Can't blame a man for only kissing an arse when it's clean.

    Ewwwww...

    Yes, he's not doing his dignity any good. But if our current resurgence brings all the past players back to the club, and gets the media tone back towards proper respect, that's fine.

    Especially if we can shape the way people 're-imagine' the club in the same way we've reaffirmed our heritage within the club.

    Side note, I watched the Freo-Pies game last night and some Freo player or other was running around in the number 31, and I saw the number and was instinctively excited. Doesn't take long for a symbol to mean something new!

    I have known Peter for 30 years and he is a nice bloke with a real soft spot for the Dees. That is pretty rough.

    Agree. I have heard that about Keenan. People like the OP need to develop a thicker skin. FWIW, MFC has deserved much of the criticism in the past.

    Try saying that to Jimmy Stynes with all he's trying to do around the club.

    I'm sure you'd bring a smile to Jimmy's face, don't you think???

    Gee people have short memories of someone I joined a standing ovation for, as he limped around the boundary line only to hear him coating us with s@#$t every chance he could for the next 25 years.

    An urger and a bully doesnt come suddenly clean just because he is funny.

    Can remember him coming out of retirement for a few games to help out the seconds when we were chronically short of fit players. Wore number 60 with his fat guts hanging out the bottom. Still busted his arse trying to help out the young kids. You don't do that sort of thing if you don't care about the club.

    • 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.
