And just as I was starting to think the MFC is full on Nancy boys who need their Mums.

Someone stands up and does something that makes me proud to be a supporter.

    Excellent role model behaviour for young Hogan. I hope we can see them operating up forward together.

    Unfortunately Dockett 32 I think you are going to see Hogan play quite a few games before it happens.

    After the last couple of weeks and considering St Kilda's potential side for the first game I have a strange feeling.

    I actually feel confident we can win this game.

    Now it may all come tumbling down if the Hawks hand out the usual thrashing on the weekend.

    But it is a strange feeling.

    It is actually so long ago since I had this feeling I cannot remember when it was.

    I suspect early in 2011.

    I can handle the feeling Just please let it be the real thing on Saturday evening 22nd March.

    I am worried about injuries, as we never ever seem to have anything like our best list available at the start of a season and I don't want to add to that.

    The team for this weekend will tell us more Redleg.

    I think you can count out Clark, Tapscott, Jamar but the last two are no big loss and Clark has played so infrequently and made no contribution so far in 2014 that I don't think about him.

    Aside from Dawes and Viney the others I don't see as any more than fill in players.

    IMO two weeks out I think we will have a good team in that should be able to account for the saints.

    Good point Redleg

    Now if she can keep the injury list and banana prices low we are half way home.

    He is the Reverend because of his contacts with her upstairs R & B.

    I am sure the message will have been passed on by now.

    Interesting article on the MFC site Redleg on injuries, I would put up a link if I knew how!

    Some time ago my father told me that donkeys never get injured but fast horses do regularly.

    I see Pedersen will be back for the hawthorn game.

    From the article "“Mitch is tracking through his rehab and he’s going pretty well. He’s just ticking off his running sessions."

    What does that mean?

    I have no idea when he will be back?

    Yes bb

    interesting to see this description "Small utility Luke Tapscott"

    I have always wondered what his position

    was, it seems the MFC are not sure either.

    Small as in Sherman v T34 !! Lol

    I Agree but in spite of my best efforts to understand the upgrading process Redleg the MFC never ceases to catch me out.

    e.g. last year they upgraded Magner and then never played him.

    So I will believe it when it happens

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
