Just to follow up on and old topic 7 weeks, we still have a lot to acheive in 3 weeks

Off field

FOJ sponser still needed

Our Membership has stalled we are a little under 14,000 members away from our target of 40,000

On Field

2 more NAB cup matches good win last week, the Hawks will be another good test. Hopefully our last match is at Casey Fields.

We have seen a different style in the first 2 weeks, we will only get better, this week you expect to see our team almost at full strength. Hopefully we see Moloney, Clark, Rivers, Bartram, Trengove this week.

It is funny how your opinion can change over 4 weeks, we have got more than we expected on Field with new players getting us excited. Off Field the FOJ will happen but the 40,000 target looks a long way off

    I don't actually believe we will se the our team almost at full strength this week. The whole pre-season has been about load management and i don't see any change to that this week. I believe the last NAB round wherever it is played will be where we might pick a team close to our best.

    Don't be surprised to see the likes of Magner, Couch, Frawley, Garland, Jamar et al rested this week.

    once the real season starts and we are five rounds into the home & away season. the NAB cup winners are long forgotten.

    FOJ sponsor is absolutely critical, I understand Cam wants to get the best deal for the club but we can't go into round 1 without this being filled, it will reflect extremely poorly on the club.

    Not if a big deal is close it won't. If there is no deal, then you are right.

    As much I'd like a Casey game in week 4, I reckon they'll send us far away as we would've already played 2 weeks at Etihad.

    Wagga?

    Actually, according to the fixture, the possible venues are:

    Etihad Stadium

    Simonds Stadium

    Blacktown International Sportspark

    AAMI Stadium

    Patersons Stadium

    Metricon Stadium

    Manuka Oval

    VISY Park

    No, I think that list is for the teams not playing in the GF.

    Also maybe the MCG has rights for cricket all the way up until round 1, with the cricket pitches in there atm, that is why it isnt being used yet.

    Although the Tri series final is in a few days, so cricket will be over yeah??? no more games for a while if i recall correctly

    Still a possible shield final option.

    Looks very unlikely the Vics will finish top but that may be a consideration.

    • 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.
