    At least some good news, Jack Watts says he wants to stay a Demon and has instructed his manager to start discussions with us. Hopefully he re signs soon and then we can move on to some others we want to keep.

    Some other good news would be the retirement of Byrnes and maybe Pedersen.

    How bad was Pederson? He is a good size would love to see him lay a few good knocks but he is soft as butter. I'd put Byrnes and keep him in a forward pocket (if they insist on playing him that is)

    Pedersen is not in our best 28-30 and makes poor decisions. He is also not a very hard at it footballer. IMO he is a VFL footballer.

    I would never play Byrnes again. I watched him for a lot of the game. He doesn't even try and spoil if the kick is not directly to him. He is slow. He turned it over yesterday on nearly every possession he had. Reluctantly I would play him at Casey. As one of the other club's recruiters said, " he was struggling in the VFL last year".

    If you add Gillies we have recruited a trio of guys that are clearly way below AFL standard.

    The item that beggars belief is we swapped Gysberts for Pedersen and gave him a three year deal.

    I would prefer to play any kid than this trio they are bloody useless.

    Locked to the top of the first page (like the Code of Conduct thread).

    I think we certainly deserve that.

    Just finished reading the book on Black Caviar by Gerard Whately, a very good read.

    Today I was in Chadstone shopping centre in the book shop and bought two books. One was the Master, the story of Bart Cummings, by the the greatest racing writer in the world, Les Carlyon. The second was a bit smaller and is called Life is Sport and Sport is Life, by Tami and Paul Roos. Thought it might be interesting.

    Think I can sum it up pretty easily as follows, it is a book about a mare that won all her 25 starts and is the best sprinter, give or take Vain, that we have ever seen.

    Saw film of Crowley barrelling into Boomer and sending him sprawling before the game started. Umpire right there tell Crowley to calm down and no free kick. Commentators furious as no free kick paid.

    Then I contrast that with the soft bump on Jones of the Saints, by Dunn, when Garland is about to kick out and reversal and Nick gets a free from 10 metres out.

    That is just so inconsistent. Amazing how weak sides cop that so often.

    There were four pathetic free goals given to the Saints, all controversial, yet not one to us. Funny that.

    • 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.
