Is Inglewood in Victoria a nice place to be?

 

Depends what you want, nice small country town north of Bendigo. Medically Bendigo is well resourced . If you are a gold fossicker it’s is part of the golden triangle and they regularly find nuggets some quite large. Cold in winter can be as hot as hell in summer.

Why do you ask?

My great grandparents were born there, but they moved to Collie so my great grandfather could work in the mines.

My eyes are not working too well today as all I can see is that their colours are blue. Just can't see the other colour so I assume that it is red!

Gee, 8-0 who would have thought?

9-0 does have a better ring to it though.

I would like 9-0 but prefer a flag. Hate to think we are undefeated all season but loss the grand final.

That colour combination really sucks. What a complete waste of blue!

Haven't ventured into here for a while. Noting recent streak discussion. Football talk? How did that happen?!

While I'm here, what's all the banana talk? Not knowing is giving me the 'Banana Splits' (cue references, video of cult '60s/'70s 'children's' TV)

They’re actually similar to Carlton’s jumper - or they were 2 years ago when my sons played against them. They are in the Loddon Valley league - and they are struggling. However they are still fielding an u/18s team which is a credit to them. 2 years ago nine of the 10 teams in the comp had an u/18s. Now there is only 4! 
Covid has smashed country footy at the lower age levels in particular.

Spot on you are correct spalding. It is the soccer club that is yellow and blue.

Don’t scare me like that OD. Your reminder me of my pre 1999 support for that turn coat club I vowed to never support again after  our loss in the 1998 WAFL Grand Final! That was to day I decided to support another team in the AFL. At the time I was thinking of supporting MessyDrugs because they had a few ex West Perth player. Thank the gods I decided to support another club that has the best team colours and song!

I see now why my Great Grandparents decided to move to Western Australia, their local soccer team colours. Who can blame them?

I doubt the soccer club existed then.

Whoever wants must provide a pick in the first five this year and their first round pick in 2022.

  • 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.
