Seeming we have beat them already this season,our players will have the belief that we can do it again.That Belief will go a long way today.

Dees by 29 and the Shitihad curse buried.

 

Girls womans footy is live on channel 7.

Well worth a watch.
 

Dees paying 4.65.... That's pretty juicy odds.$5.25 if you go between 1-39 points

Worth a lobster.

Some of these girls are copying the male AFL players and wearing their hair in a bun.


Can we get Harris tk play for the lads....like the cut of her jib. Leads to front...holds a mark...kicks snags

Way to go :)

My mate's daughter is playing for the dee's today....

Keep an eye out for No.9

We caught the Doggies at a low ebb last time. We'd have to play out of our skins to come near them this time. Possible, but not likely.

On the other hand, if we hadn't beaten them, they'd be third (assuming WCE lose the derby) and vying for second place. They have plenty of incentive.

Bad feeling about this. We might learn a lot though.
 

Last 5 times we have played them in real games (ie not pre season) we have won two and not lots by more than 20 (6, 16 and 20).

We should go OK today.

What is all this talk about a 'low ebb'?

The week before they played us they ran Fremantle to within 13 points. The week before that they played a rancid half against St Kilda, sure, but the week before that they'd beaten Sydney in Sydney.

The week after they played us they annihilated GWS who were coming off a three-week winning streak which included wins over Hawthorn and Adelaide. I was at that game the week after - they were not in any sort of 'ebb' that day.

Fair dinkum - we played a great game the last time we played them and we beat them all ends up. Let's at least acknowledge that. Doesn't mean a huge amount for today, but it still happened and shouldn't be downplayed.

Expectation isn't high so we may be in with a shot today.

The Dogs are on a high and have made Etihad something of a fortress, but they haven't played anyone of note for a long time and we tend to match and set up well against them.

As Roos said, the start is very important.

Because Bail is in and Salem is out ill, it just hasn't been updated. I thought everyone knew that though.

Sub for us today is Jack Grimes which is an interesting choice to say the least.

No late changes, Grimes sub.

Strange.

So that talk of Tommy Mac being out was BS I suppose

dazzledavey?

It was reported in the paper that T-Mac had in fact rolled his ankle but had pulled up okay and was a certainty to play.

Got it of the fox sports twitter mate..

Dont shoot the messenger..sheesh

You need to get twitter mate. Then you can stop with this sort of stuff.

Grimes the sub... I'm not sure about that...

its because we won't be needing any backs today

1 - it wouldnt be an issue if people just did everyone else a favour and linked/named their source, which takes about 2 seconds

2 - apparently the source is unreliable anyway isn't it

We're not in Churchill's war room mate, if someone is passing on that kind of info they've either seen it themselves or seen it on social media. No point getting so upset about the source for such trivial things.

All that was said was he had hurt is ankle and could be in doubt, he did actually hurt is ankle and was in doubt but he's come good. No conspiracy theories.

  • 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.
