Cam Bruce has announced his retirement from the Hawks.

Really a pity it was from Hawthorn and not from the MFC.

Should have been at the Dees during 2011.

Good luck in the future CB.

You gave me a lot of joy over the years at the Dees.

    Agree.

    I don't know exactly what took place through negotiations etc, but I gather there's much to do with MFC's list management and Bruce's true market value at the time being the sticking points.

    Had he signed on reasonable circumstances, he'd have chalked up 250 games as a one club player.

    Not to be. That said, he was a good servant and representative of the MFC during his time at Melbourne.

    Is it just me?

    I think I have lost enthusiasm for the season.

    Left the game on saturday and retired to the pub for a couple before the trip home.

    My mate said it is three weeks before the next game at the G

    Just looked at each other and the feeling was who cares.

    I think the results so far, injuries, certainity of results and "we have been here every year for the last 5" have drained my will.

    Struggled to get even the enthusiasm to even come on Demonland till yesterday.

    I think I am over the multi threads on here talking about which players will go, which players to draft etc.

    When on earth will we have the prospect of making the finals, discussing the possibility of winning games start?

    Early july and another season is done.

    I used to worry about losing games now I expect to lose

    I think the MFC have drained me.

    No, it's just not you.

    I want the feeling of enthusiasm back....the spring in the step.

    It won't happen whilst the cue is in the rack.

    The cue can leave the rack after we lose to Port and the Dogs beat the Blues.

    This is exactly what I am talking about Redleg.

    When did we start hoping not to win?

    Any way I keep telling you there is no problem.

    We have one possibly 2 wins to go this year.

    It does not matter what the teams above us do

    If Port and Dogs win this week I will agree with you.

    Correct IMO. Buy some breathing space. Otherwise we may see a GC or GWS game I don't want to see.

    I will be very happy to watch those two games, one live at the G and one on TV, hoping for a win.

    I am with you there.

    In fact Redleg I hope we win more games I do not give a stuff where we finish on the ladder.

    I want the rush of winning.

    To hell with draft picks we have done that for 5 years.

    Just win games and worry about drafting in November.

    Now calm down Old Dee. Why as a football fan would you want your team to win?

    Seriously I have said to myself, " self this is the last year that you should put up with this sh-t" . To that end, I want the best drafting/trading position possible and then I will pray to God that we don't stuff up. We can fix our side with one good off season and I think this is the one to do it. It really is now or never for many Dees fans.

    Sadly I agree not sure there are any more trips to the well left for a lot of Dees fans.

    While I want us to win as many games as possible Redleg The reality is 2 is I think the Max.

    I really think we will struggle to beat both GWS and GCS.

    Go Dees ( spoken in a soft voice with no conviction )

    Poor old Brad Scott. He can't sleep at night worrying about the state of the game.

    Poor li'l possum

    What could we suggest for him to get some sleep, would hate to see him miss training - apart from Stilnox but

    Great drug with a bad reputation DC

    Handy one to blame when you screw up.

    A bit like blaming the car when some idiot does some stupid and causes pain and death.

    Send some free samples to Scotty.

    I hear there are plenty floating around at the Tigers.

    Well who would have believed it. Last night I blended a banana into my diet shake and kept reblending after each cup. Ended up swallowing a whole lot of air with my drink. Up all night burping from both ends. I don't blame the banana but what a night.

    Whats that got to do with footy, well nothing, but we have been so bad that I have resorted to this rubbish.

    • 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.
