I live in craigieburn just up the road from where Richmond train at highgate reserve.... Looks a treat no cricket pitches goal posts still there

Seeing as my drivers licence is suspended I'm all for moving the game to highgate lol

    So just to confirm, so I don't show up too late/early, it's an 11am start? That's 11am after the clocks go forward?

    Leeroy is far too good of a player to be tagging in all honesty.... There's pretty much no match up for Leeroy with his athleticism

    I've seen him play reserves footy in the past..... Absolute joke..... As you're well aware he's a high quality player

    sorry, brad...

    no possessions for you... :)

    Ha. Good banter. Actually wouldn't mind seeing him try.

    posted tonight by scooter23 on bomberblitz tonight...

    "Let's beat these Melbourne dogs..... I'm running in off the square and taking someone out at the first bounce..... Invoke some fear into the rest of them.... They'll be too scared to put their heads over the ball for the rest of the game" ... :blink:

    I will point out this individual to you guys before the first bounce...

    perhaps we should unchain wise ??

    (no, that would be too cruel)... :rolleyes:

    TO ALL PLAYERS, COACHES AND HELPERS

    Remember we are playing this coming Sunday, October 5 at 11:00 am at Gosch’s paddock.

    Goal post issues mean that we may have to move to Olympic Park.

    11.00 am means 10.00 am for those of you who have not heard about daylight saving time.

    Melway map reference 2G E10.

    Train to Richmond station, walk south down Punt Road (city side). If you come to Boulton Parade, you have gone too far.

    CAR. Free parking may be available at Punt Road Oval. If not, you can try the Richmond side streets south of Swan Street, but I prefer the commercial car parks in Swan Street. There is one east of the intersection with Punt Road and one west of that intersection.

    WEATHER. Forecast says 20 degrees, becoming sunny, humidity 42%.

    People, its Melbourne so bring WATER and SUNSCREEN!!!

    Helpers, we have never had enough additional water, so please do not slack off on your commitments.

    Everyone, please bring additional jumpers (if you have them) for players without.

    Scotty from Bomberblitz says they are going to beat us this time. Post from scooter 23 on bomberblitz on 1/10/14:

    “Let's beat these Melbourne dogs..... I'm running in off the square and taking someone out at the first bounce..... Invoke some fear into the rest of them.... They'll be too scared to put their heads over the ball for the rest of the game.”

    See you Sunday at 10.30 am (9.30 am for people clueless about daylight saving time). People arriving at or before then go into the draw to have first go at scooter23.

    Players and helpers who have not committed, or who are late apologies, please update your status by posting on the thread on Demonland, by sending ucanchoose a pm, or by sending him an email at ([email protected] )or by texting him on 0449 821 556.

    Regards,

    Peter Connor (aka Rollo)

    Hi Dees

    I arrived at goschs and can confirm no posts and very faint line marking. Olympic park not much better so I suggest we stay here. We can mark out goals with jumpers and place a marker say every 30 mtrs or so along the boundary. One of our guys is trying to get his hands on some witches hats.

    Moved to old Scotch oval by security.

    You mean one of the players wore a burqa?

    Tony Abbot has a lot to answer for!!!

    Timekeeper has a short quarter.

    7.6 to 8.7. 7 points down

    We looked a lot better then.

    We have the wind in the last

    Hopefully their drugs wear off by then.

    • 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.
