    At my Doctor's insistence (she who wants me to give up the booze), I am about to head to the gymnasium (with a letter from said doctor) for an assessment and development of a "fitness" program.

    I shall keep you informed - if I survive.

    In any event it seems a good excuse to buy some new gear. I look rather fetching in latex - if I do say so myself.

    Anyway toodle pip!

    Started Saturday with MY GD for breakfast.

    Pa made chocolate pan cakes with banana and Maple syrup.

    If there is a better way to start Saturday I don't know of it.

    Speaking of lunch I just had a great banana cinnamon smoothie. Feeling rather full. Might have to get up from the couch and take a long walk around the lounge room.

    I have a gardener to nance around in my garden.

    Anyway ....

    Just woken up – had to have a kip after my “workout”.

    Well it wasn’t actually a workout – but interesting. Don’t understand how people enthuse about this gym business.

    I arrived at the “Leisure Centre” and met with Katie, my fitness consultant. She took me into a small office where I sat on a tiny chair and parked my guts on the table. Things apparently didn’t proceed according to the normal plan. Katie tried to take my blood pressure but the machine kept conking out and reading “error”.

    She gave up and started taking measurements. The problem, however, was that neither her arms, nor the tape would fit around my girth.

    The final straw was that I wound their scales off the meter. Katie then spoke to another fellow who made a smartarse comment about a weighbridge.

    Katie then said she’d consult with my doctor before going any further but offered to show me around the gymnasium before I left.

    In an odd way I immediately felt at home. Here were all these people in tight costumes with red faces, grunting and groaning. They were surrounded by or using a range of very odd machines and implements.

    Apart from the lighting, it was very much like the BDSM clubs that Biffen had arranged entre for me on occasion.

    I asked Katie where the whips and canes were kept but she didn’t answer and left without saying goodbye . I am guessing that information is reserved for members.

    All in all an interesting morning but if they expect me to start lifting those treadmill things , I wont be going back.

    I was supine on the sofa last night - more from exhaustion than alcohol and watched the Swans/Hawks game. It was a fantastic game of footy. However, and I know I've said this before, such games are depressing when you compare the depth of talent these sides have to ours.

    Both sides are stacked with players who can deliver the ball (by hand or foot) quickly and accurately while under extreme pressure.

    How many players do we have who can do this? A handful? Premiership sides have depth in this level of skill.

    Will I ever see a premiership?

    I suppose my pessimism about seeing a successful premiership charge is somewhat leavened by my minimal chance of longevity.

    I seriously doubt it in my lifetime Bbo and I suspect yours as well.

    The gap is a gulf to those two sides

    Yes it was a salutary reminder of what a top footy team is capable of.... and ... what a top list consists of in terms of personal. Hawthorn loses Buddy but still has three other players around the top of the goal kicking list. FMD !!!!

    It is the stuff wet dreams are made of.

    Purely and simply we have absolutely stuffed up our recruiting over the last several years. Last year under a new Coach and Recruiting Officer looks more promising and w have to hope that they get every pick and trade right from now on.

    It can turn around very quickly though as we have seen with our undermanned side improving dramatically defensively in just one year.

    Add Hogan and with improvement in Salem, Toumpas, JKH, Kent, Tyson, Riley etc and with a few more good picks and trades we can turn it around quickly.

    Just checked my emails since Friday and there was one from the MFC.

    It offered Corporate packages to the GF, talk about the excitement etc. of the big game.

    Bought a smile to my face.

    Wonder what that feels like.

    • 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.
