    Point taken there. But you get my drift with Bock. he's in prime central.

    I really think his best is well and truly gone.

    Just my opinion.

    Let's just say he aged terribly for an AFL player.

    Bock will probably prove me wrong on the GoldCoast.

    That thing with bashing his missus must have taken a toll and it's probably good to get out of Adelaide.

    I'm looking at him purely from a footy perspective. I'd actually forgotten all that off field carp until you then mentioned it. He still has much to offer. He's not over the hill by a long shot either. Bit of knee trouble this year which kept him out then the GC stuff.

    On a positive note he fills a need and he's from the GC where selections are scarce. :P

    HT - the word is that Bock's shot. Gold Coast wanted to back out of the deal but couldn't because the offer was on the table before his injuries surfaced. Good luck to him.

    Could be wrong of course

    Will check back later, if there is nothing I'll PM old55 with my selection(s) - will be away from access tomorrow.

    Good choice D Nutz, I was hoping he might get to pick 80 - wishful thinking I guess.

    Hansen is a good get, I was very keen to have him and didn't think he'd go so soon.

    Will have a very good 2011.

    I think he will too. His glimpses in 2010 were very impressive.

    Has all the attributes, just needs confidence and consistency.

    • 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.
