I doubt we will win 56 games next year, but 11? ...

You are thinking too small RBB.

As you need to count preseason, interclub, practice matches as well as training.

    My boy is a dalmatian and he can run like the wind. No one will be able to get the ball off him.

    But can he kick DF?

    5 + 6 = 11, 1 + 1 = 2 which is Nathan Jones, second favourite for the 2015 Brownlow behind Dom Tyson ...

    Or in honour of the news on the other thread, 2 = The Great Robbie Flower. R.I.P. champ.

    No but its AFL Football so there is no need to be able to actually kick the ball.

    I remember him as a player but did not support the Dees at the time. But from what I been told he is exactly what I respect in a player. Loyal, team player, cares about the Club and was a supporter before becoming a player.

    Players like this are rare and deserve the respect from all Club Supporters. He will be missed by many including non-mfc supporter. The guy was clearly a legend of the game as well as a great guy to boot.

    I have 1,000 times more respect for a player who loves a Club so much they will not move to a more successful Club. Great player do not have to play in grand final winning teams.

    As I did my research on him by watching old games in which he was a player. I too had a tear or two.

    Unfortunately DF there is little footage of him.

    In those days the VFL only had two games a week on TV and as we were crap we did not get too many game televised or recorded.

    I went week after week just to see him.

    Everything you hear is correct.

    If he played with a good side his reputation would be way higher, Reputations are solidified in finals and Grand finals.

    IF he had played with Hawthorn or Carlton at the time he would have won a norm Smith I have no doubt.

    A bit of my youth died yesterday.

    The way things are going, there will be club legends no more.....

    Free agency will kill it off

    Gone are the days that players stick by a club for better or worse and be remembered as a champion of the club

    I hate the way the AFL is at the moment....Great Hawthorn champs ie, Dunstan, Hudson, Bartlett at Richmond, Farmer and Goggin at Geelong

    All champions of their clubs

    Soon players will be called champs.....Not CLUB champs

    It's a sad state of affairs.

    Gone forever BD

    Sad but we just have to move on or leave the game.

    I have considered that option and I am hanging in.

    "Just" I might add

    I didn't go to one game this year OD.....Watched on tele or just got the scores on the computer

    I always thought soccer was frustrating and boring....well footy is becoming the same.....No goals in quarters or halfs , players that I really liked...Gone. I will remain a member but find going to the footy a bore.

    I share your feelings Bossdog

    I used to think that Aussie Rules was way better at the game now I think it is better on TV as you do not see as much of the rolling malls

    and because you only see a small part of the ground so almost never see half the ground with no one in it or 100 players coming on and off the ground all day.

    Visually it is now crap IMO.

    After the past few years, we might be lucky to win a few training sessions ... :blink::blink:

    54 the great Trevor Korn's number.

    5 + 4 = 9, which is Jack Trengove, due to come roaring back from injury with a vengeance. Another one of those tackles on Dangerfield, please (unless Danger is playing for us ... :) )

    • 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.
