I hesitate to post this but I have Briefed running soon at Sandown at 4.40. If he can get a clear run at them in the straight from not too far back he should be in the finish.

Beaten a short half head on a hard leaders track. Great effort from him as he comes from the back and likes some give in the ground.

    In other words, nothing's changed since last year.

    Somewhat short sighted by Thomo calling Caro out in relation to the AFL mouthpiece. Caro sledges the AFL where warranted, particularly AD.

    Thomo has always come across with a bee in his bonnet where AD is concerned, and despite me agreeing with him on many occasions, the way he carried on last show was a little childish.

    Make your point and move on Thommo.

    What is a good crowd RL?

    I would think under 20 is poor, over 30 is good and around 25 is not bad, given the interstate team.

    My guess on those options is 25

    a winning margin of 5 points

    Business as usual for the Blues 7 goal winners over the Tigers.

    I don't usually like it when Carlton wins but those Richmond supporters were really getting carried away during the week. I even heard a few on radio mentioning the P * word.

    * P = Premiership

  • Quote

    I think the P word appeared because of the newspaper columns last week. As soon as a coach/board member/bootstudder mentions the P word or even just the F word in the press, the faithful start nodding and agreeing away. Foregone conclusion they say. Anybody tip the tiges yesterday? Had about 15% of people tip them in the work league, seemed a little low, I would have thought more would have a flutter based on the blues' pre-season form.

    We are miles away from the F word and galaxies away from the P word.

    CArlton and Hawthorn have mentioned the P word a bit . Oh no -not the 80's again I hope .Unless it's the latter part where we knock those teams out of finals series .

    Have I mentioned I hate Carlton?

    Moi aussi . AND Hawthorn , AND Collingwood ,AND Essendon , AND Richmond , AND ....................

    I only like most of those teams if they win (and other people tipped against them).

    I just hate Hawthorn and Collingwood.Pity there was not more blood shed last night .

    I only hate Hawthorn when they play us. The rest of the time I only envy and respect them.

    Well the first tragedy of 2012 is now almost 24 hours ago

    And there has been an explosion on new threads so I thought I would put my thoughts on this one.

    Not sure if it fits but here goes.

    I ask myself what has changed in the last 48 years?

    For the majority of that time not a lot.

    Here we are after game 1 of 2012 with a bad loss to a bottom four side from last year.

    A list of average players at best.

    A new coaching panel ( how many of those have there been over that 48 year period )

    A game plan that I have no idea how it is meant to work, I doubt the players do either.

    A depresseing year awaits me.

    With the prospect of another rebuild.

    "Hang in there fellers we will get there"

    is again the cry.

    So as I said not a lot has changed.

    But there is one big change for me.

    I AM ALMOST WORN OUT BY THE MFC

    I have had it with the 40 medicore years of the last 48.

    I no longer want to wander off to the G with hope in my heart

    and then wander home with the same sick in the guts feeling that once again

    I am supporting a team of modest performers who tear my guts out.

    Once again I will be the butt of jokes from other club supporters.

    What has faithful support for 48 years got me! 8 years of joy and 40 years of misery.

    I have a solution to save my sanity.

    I have put away my new maroon and blue scarf, I have placed my members card at the back of the draw.

    I have taken the stickers off my car.

    I will return to the MCG when the MFC shows they deserve my support.

    Until then ( if I live long enough ) I will be an anonymous citzen in the fabric of Melbourne.

    Away from the scorn of the general football world.

    no more "carn the dees"

    Put up MFC and I will show up

    • 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.
