I don't get this line at all, but "cancer" as a metaphor has been around for a very long time. You'd have to be desperate to occupy the moral high ground if you object to it now.

maybe irw meant to say canker, et?

Maybe it's another case of WYL losing control of himself.

Notwithstanding the ill directed and crass effort to quote Hicks, you would have thought he would have the basic gumption to realise his actual comments ability to cause offence and withdraw the comment immediately. At the very least, having a fundamental realisation about the sensitivity of referencing cancer.

At the very least WYLs effort to parade Hicks was irrelevant to the thread and another follow on from his grandstanding about self control (or in this case a lack of it).

Well done Jack and I agree with your handling. Maybe the mods will see fit to delete the posts back to #287 or so. A good thread with good contributions derailed by the silliness of S'home, Stuie and of course WYL.

Back to the AGM please.....

Agree with this. However, to suggest that WYL comment has some sinister undertone is simply ridiculous. RR, you would do well to stop the digression yourself.

Cut it out Iva. Spare us the misguided finger waving.

I said it was ill directed and crass.

Like I said let's get back to the AGM discussion.

Otherwise the mods should continue their good form and close the thread as it's disappeared into irrelevance.

We have been excusing well intentioned people for the majority on nearly half a century BD.

I am over it.

The best intentions in the world can lead to a club failing to exist.

It will be a decade (if I live that long ) before I forgive those in charge over the last four years.

Hopefully those now in control can restore the MFC our respectability to the point we can be regarded as a serious thread to the top four.

Until that day I would prefer those responsible for the last four years to stay out of my sight and my memory.

Am I bitter about this period?

YES

You do realise they did not commit a crime dont you. They are not murderers, drug smugglers and child molesters. I suggest you reserve your bitterness for people who deserve it and accept that they are not evil people and they probably wish things had turned out better more than you do. As a club we need to accept the past and ensure these people and their history are3 not lost from the club.

There would hardly be a thread open

Unfortunately we are not going to agree on this one BD.

I am not suggesting they should be burned at the stake etc.

My forgiveness is not as easily obtained as your own BD.

I have some symphony for people who fail, we have had a couple who managed to take us to the brink of greatest but not the ultimate prize.

That is not what we are dealing with here.

This group took us to the brink of extinction.

No forgiveness from me any time soon.

Pots and kettles come to mind here. As for irrelevance, it was not WYL who embarked upon a misguided accusation. Happy to get back to the topic, but I didn't initiate the detour.

Ably led by you. Now who wants to get back to the topic at hand first? The old adage seems to apply here. "I thought I was wrong once, only to find out I made a mistake'

how many more pages of this rubbish do we need ? , in fact nearly every thead on land turns to crap , too many with a big fat ego , me thinks im nearly over the joint

Then don't smoke them.

In the meantime, I would be delighted if someone could grant your wish and make sure you disappear from this "joint".

  • 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.
