    Would love to win this week and get in the eight, just to query those who said we as a solvent club, should be put in administration by the AFL.

    Redleg Can you explain please I don't understand the above?

    Do you mean "Insolvent " or "Irrelevant" ?

    Sorry but I am lost

    I meant even though we were solvent, yet because we lost a couple of football games, some were urging the AFL to take us over. It was just absurd to suggest it, if one had even the slightest knowledge of Corporate Law.

    Is it just me, or is anyone else sick of the saturation Anzac day coverage of the same 2 clubs that play every year. It seems to be even more than GF week.

    Also, why rave about the Anzac day medal, when only 2 clubs are eligible?

    Probably because the two clubs did such a great job promoting the day that it finally became entrenched on the AFL's calendar.

    There was a time when it was suggested that we promote the Melbourne - Sydney rivalry with a game on the evening of Anzac Day but nothing ever came of it. I think we need to be more proactive in developing such games.

    I agree. I think there's an opportunity for 3 games on Anzac Day. I would suggest that the NZ game is kicked off first at around 12:00 our time (2pm NZ time). Then the Essendon v Collingwood game at the G at 2:40pm.

    There is an opportunity for another game in the west (ie. Derby match Freo/WCE) OR in Darwin at night.

    I think it might be worth the club pursuing the Darwin game at night on Anzac Day. Australians recall that Darwin was bombed by the Japanese during WWII.

    This gives the AFL and clubs an opportunity to all play on ANZAC Day. With three games at three separate times with no overlapping. St.Kilda could play someone different every year. And Melbourne could play someone different every year in Darwin.

    Three ANZAC medals given out gives the opportunity for all participants a chance to receive one if best on ground. Not just Essendon and Collingwood players + Dan Hannebery.

    No I accept that it is entrenched on the AFL calendar, it is just the saturation coverage of these 2 clubs this week that annoys me. Yes it is Anzac day and a big crowd, but this is an 18 team competition and the winner still gets 4 points. I just think it is way over the top. However, I am sure their sponsors are delighted.

    Redleg this is what happens when you are a power club of the competition.

    Large supporter base, well performing teams and Lots of folding green.

    Power creates money.

    As much as it saddens me they deserve it.

    The mfc are part of the minnows at the other end of the scale.

    Start winning lots of games is the only solution and even then it would take a decade to be on

    equal footing with these two.

    Having a night game ANZAC Day in Darwin would make a sponsor(s) happy....

    In Healesville today and there is a great little cafe, that if memory serves me well, makes fantastic banana bread. Hopefully Mrs. Redleg will let me have a slice for lunch.

    As long as it could be done so both teams have a proper break before and after the game so that their season is not compromised. I am talking about the future of course, as this season would not be compromised as it is already only about player development and a few wins at best.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
