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?

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
