I am struggling to find something to be intolerant about grandchildren.

They are our future R&B

Now I have just got to work out how to make mine dees fans.

Just had a radical thought

We could start winning lots of games!

May that ever be the case. As for making them Dees fans, it is tough when the 2013 highlights are the last quarter of the home game against GWS, Howie's hangers and the first MFC women's match .... :(

    Don't confuse the tanking outcome with the Essendrugs deal, they are poles apart.

    One is an orchestrated deal on a breach of an AFL rule that was never proved and the other is the biggest scandal to ever hit the sport that compromised the health of players and is admitted.

    If you can't be negative then you could try inanity.

    Seems to keep everyone docile.

    Redleg was complaining about talking utter Tird.

    And he is a lawyer-a professional at it!

    True and notwithstanding that some are elsewhere claiming we committed a "crime" the reality is that it was reported that two senior counsel gave opinions that the AFL's case against us would fail if it went to the Supreme Court. The problem was that it would have cost us a fortune in legal fees.

    And in the end we were shafted by the AFL who punished us twice. The first time with the fine in the negotiated settlement and the second when it bowed to the pressure of the other clubs and refused to give us draft relief by way of a priority pick for the last national draft. We were entitled to the assistance on the merits but other factors deprived us of a proper consideration of our case. That's the AFL for you.

    Is it just me or is this whole Essendon thing sapping your enthusiasm for AFL level football in general?

    With every passing day a little bit more gets chipped off me.

    Once not so long ago I was an enthusiastic follower of most teams and games over the season.

    Now I take notice of most things MFC and then little of everything else.

    I would never have guessed bb!

    I don't like seeing the AFL tarnished with this crap.

    I have a couple of close Bomber fans and they are devastated at present

    I feel their pain.

    as you know I have family members who are Messy ones . This is not about them, this is about a club that seems to think it can operate beyond the fence and with utter contempt for all else ( arguably not alone..carlscum fit that description also )

    Over the years I have tried to use the "Sponsors" of the MFC.

    With limit success I have to report unfortunately.

    My major success was iPrimus.

    The not so goods were mostly either too costly compared to their competitors or simply appeared poor from my contacts.

    e.g. I bought Kaspersky virus protection and it did not want to download properly onto my computer.

    I contacted them and was told " oh we get a bit of that do you want your money back" .

    Fairly quick resolution but I have often wondered why they did not try and fix the problem.

    A couple of weeks ago I started looking for a new Car so I checked out the AHG dealerships.

    I have been to the brand dealer I am interested in and so far the experience has been ordinary.

    Not exactly rushed off my feet and their price is approx. $3000 more than a couple of other quotes I have had for the exact same car.

    Doubt I will be buying from AHG at this rate.

    I have a theory that because the MFC are not a "sort after Club" we end up with sponsors that are a fair way below the large successful companies.

    Do we get the also-rans and subsequently get the same level of service?

    Or am I just unlucky?

    • 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.
