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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
