I hadn't heard of them as a clothing company and assumed the Tobacco advertising laws still applied.

Thanks for the info.  

The Peter Jackson suit ads were almost as famous as the Kevin Dennis car ads not to mention the Franco Cozzo...... "norta melbourne and foot- is- cray"

    anyone know how many people usually turn up to the VFL final?  thinking of maybe going but etihad atmosphere is terrible at the best of time but esp when only 5,000 there

    be better off playing it at Optus oval of something

    Go. Support the Scorps and support the Melbourne players. The Dogs fans get behind their VFL team so we need our fans out there and in full voice!

    Well I've been to Casey Fields a few time this year so I'm used to seeing the Scorps at a shitty venue so I shall make the trip to Etihad,

    Go Scorps!

    Just finished watching. He seemed very confident Salem, Grimes and Hulett will all be back in for the weekend

    Been out of the country for a couple of weeks so am VERY keen to see some fair dinkum AFL when I get back on the weekend.

    This NFL circus stuff where they take 3 & 1/2 hours to play 4 x 15 minutes of (alleged) action does my head in - (altho' the cheerleaders provide an interesting distraction in the dull moments).

    Hoping like crazy that the 'Shitihad Curse' doesn't afflict the Scorps!

    After the Carlscum debacle and the slaughter at the Cattery, anything which provides the Club with a sense of momentum would be extremely welcome.

    No Don't, I took my Mrs to Bunnings for a sausage on valentines day and she didn't appreciate it.

    And she still has the nerve to tell me I don't care about her.

    Some women are never pleased.

    Time for a jolly good flogging doc.

    On a footballing note I read that Salem is considered likely to play. Our erstwhile reporter has posted the link above.

    I have to say I find this incredible. Salem was out like the proverbial light yet they are saying the concussion was very mild.

    With all the concerns about, duty of care and litigation, not to mention the possibility of damage emerging later - why would you take the risk?

    He was apparently pretty good in the rooms and then went straight home to rest. The Doctors obviously think it is not a risk, or he would be out.

    Yes no doubt that is the case RL.

    However I still find it difficult to reconcile with way he looked after the hit.

    After our last meeting with St Kilda, I swore I would never go back to that shocking venue.

    However, I am making an exception this weekend as I feel starved of football already and excited about seeing Casey in the GF.

    I was talking to a former Casey player yesterday (he left at the end of last season) and he feels Casey have it over the Bulldogs and will win comfortably.

    Agree Uncle, not worth the risk IMO. Will win confortably without him anyway! Mild concussion who are they trying to kid!??

    • 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.
