I went to one T/20 fixture and don't think I'll ever go again. They need the hoopla to disguise the emptiness of the contest.

    "Anything but football!"

    "Yeah, definitely don't want to make it too much about football."

    "People are already getting football just by turning up, we need to offer something more."

    "How about... animals! Animals that like grass, the MCG has lots of grass. Plus, we have to compete with the Sydney Easter Show."

    "I know! Horses! it is perfect!"

    "And Daryl Braithwaite!"

    "..."

    "Uh, I guess?"

    "I was really hoping for Belinda Carlisle, but ok."

    the worst thing is not the songs in pregame,  or any half-time entertainment...  but to me its the adverticements over the loud speakers during breaks,  when you want some personal time to read,  or chat,  or whatever.    AFL,   stop bombarding us with commercial rubbish,  which we cannot switch off.  This is like torture,  you cannot escape it...  unless you do not attend the game !

    Don't know why people are complaining about this promo.  It is an endless gift that enables us to make fun of, and laugh at, the Tiggies.

    I believe they are providing a free face tattoo stand for the kids.

    Wonderful initiatives by the Tigers.

    Braithwaite just keeps on producing hit after hit -sadly the same shyteful  song each time.

    I might sell vomit bags at the gate.

    Just lucky its not  'the blues'  he's singing for,  the horses might go missing one at a time.  And possibly ending up in someones bed one night,  just to send a  'business as usual'  message .

    Actually i wouldn't mind the dees using Horses. In fact i'd love it. However i would use this (how brilliant would it be to hear this blaring over those god awful speakers at the G!):

    I remember going to Mass on a Sunday Morning to stand at the back( Outside ish) Recount the game played on Saturday! Any conquests made on Saturday Night and then plan for the pleasant Sunday Morning which could stretch into the afternoon before thinking about the Sandy Drive in on a Sunday Night!  Bitters Man, I know you will Like this!!:wub:

    .... being the Lygon St Blues Bros',  & its a horse,  it stands to reason its the fishy end,  Bbo...  the head.

     

    if it was say,  the Sainters doin'  the promo,  it would have been pin the tail on the Ass's,  Bbo...  & so,  that would be self X-ploratory...  or so Montagna would say.  Apparently he likes to play blindfolded bedroom fetish's,  in the dark.

     

    either way, the idea's a HorsesAss

    What screams Richmond more than Daryl Braithwaite's 'Horses'? Probably someone OD'd on horse behind Dimmeys... but let's get back to the entertainment...

     

    The Toigs are going with Daryl Braithwaite's Horses for the season opener. Daz himself will be on stage singing it before the game whilst horses gallop around our hallowed turf, I [censored] you not. 

    But the fun and hijinks don't stop there, there'll also be karaoke cam at quarter and 3 quarter time. To which songs, you might ask, well just the one, Horses. 

    And there'll also be a lip sync battle at half time, if you haven't got enough of Horses yet, it'll be to Horses. 

    I'm not making this [censored] up. Thank you Richmond, I for one, cannot wait. 

    Perfect choice for the Tiges and their supporters. They don't cope with change very well. They still have the best song in the Comp and there is something about the hardcore supporters that I admire.

    Now upgrading Punt Rd oval is making some sense.   

    They need more room to make stables for their horses. The ground gets renamed Punt Rd Stables.

    What a F"n" joke, No curtain raiser games, yet Horses get a gig. Spare me!!!

    The AFL is fast becoming a bigger circus, we have clowns running the show. May as well have animal acts as well.

    great word daisy. I guess I would like to see that level of ferality amongst Melbourne supporters rather than the meek and at times highly critical comments at games when things are not going well . I don't include all those kids who come along and support our team. Like all kids they are beyond reproach.

    Just having a closer gig at the handsome blokes in that ad and it's no wonder why they need those horses.

    Don't start me on Sandy girls.

    Apart from the Mass bit i recall the area fondly.

      As a youth(I digress and apologise in advance)  I recall driving home along the beach road,knocking over cyclists,swerving through the bends of the bay smoking a peter stuyvesant and thinking that nothing could top the night I had spent with the Essendon Chairmans' very welcoming daughter whilst he was asleep in the master bedroom.

    Being a gentleman ,I will never reveal names but i assure you my memories of the bayside suburbs are vivid and pleasant .

    I have driven through Europe,America and some of the more nefarious parts of the former soviet union (purely trade related) but I have never been more satisfied than that particular morning.

    Indeed. Nothing quite as satisfying as a new soft pack of Styvos, melting the plastic, ripping a neat hole in the silver foil and tapping the first smoke from the pack to enjoy.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
