I had a water-proof jacket and fortunately a rug. The rug was the savour. Concur with everything you've noted, Scoop.

    Steve Johnson has been cited for dropping his knee into Jones chest.

    Not good for my Dreamteam but if he doesn't get a week I'll be amazed. Maybe I should prepare myself...

    Cant stand Johnson as a player or person.

    What an arrogant smug little plick.

    Hope he gets suspended again.

    I would love to see him running around in an MFC jumper.

    im gonna cop some flack but here goes

    under the coaching of DB, I had a discussion with a friend about Davey, I said he didn't want to play footy and was going on the ground for the sake of it

    MN arrives and my friend expressed the thought that he would come good under a new coach and his best would reappear,

    and now under yet another coach, its the same old AD, no heart whatsoever. forget the conditions , the team structure,age, and any other excuse, this man for some unknown reason , doesn't want to play football anymore

    on the weekend , high and dry I might add.my geelong mates were very honest to say what they thought of our team, some good things some bad , but from the very start there was one demon not willing to be part of the game.in the first 10 minutes there were chances to run up from hf and be an extra at the ball, he didn't want to do it .he came off the ground at times not even puffing or showing signs of being involved.unfortunately ive seen this behaviour for 3 years and its not changed,were meant to be starting a new era and the group must be devastated to see a wonderful talent completely finished and not even showing a glimpse, it was very sad

    I love Steve as a player, don't know him as a person. I find him the most entertaining player in the game to watch.

    Interesting that on Saturday we had a inferior side to the infamous 2011 team and lost by 11 goals

    compared to 31.

    If only they had stuck to their decision on CS.

    What might be the position now?

    We will never know but I believe the main reason we are were we are to day goes back to the first half of 2011.

    I went yesterday

    The only positive is that I didn't catch pneumonia.

    With dedication like yours, Scoop, I presume you ventured out on the Highway again yesterday to attend the Scorps game at the Avalon Airport Oval ,again in the rain.

    Did you remember the poncho this time?

    I'm ashamed I didn't make the trip to Kardinia Park.My excuses were:- 1/ Worried I'd fall asleep driving after being up till 3.30 watching the Test.

    2/ No- one I rang wanted to go with me. 3/The amateurs team i support were playing at home in a vital game.

    BUT.....in the back of my mind I remembered the games down there in '06 and '07 for thrilling draw and a one point win. I'll never forget the joy of the train trip home those days. If you don't go to games where you expect to lose, you'll never have that terrific feeling of the surprise victory.

    I went down early last year partly to see Jack Vineys first reserves game, but he was pole axed before I got there!

    ps. Sometimes pneumonia takes a few days to develop!

    • 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?

    • 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.
