AFL is special in the whole crowd thing... like other areas it seems we are losing our innocence.

Not sure it's necessary but rather it's a reaction to some security anlayst's what ifs.

Have we ever had a serious crowd invasion incident?

Off to the World Cup in a couple of weeks .... will be interested to see how the Russians deal with it.

Yep ...nailed it. No we never have, even in the free for all 70s.....the odd streaker, thats about it. It would be rubbish trying to view the match through that fence. Thats fantastic you can go to the World Cup. Id almost forgotten. When do the games actually start? Keep me posted.

    St Kilda are great at guarding space ! Does that mean that the Dee's are no longer the number one team for guarding space in the AFL ??? If so, that's a shame !!

    Wow just got home from dinner and saw the last few minutes of that showdown game. Well done to port for kicking the winning goal, but how did Adelaide not manage to hold on with 44 seconds to go. 

    Anyway Im still dining out on the bummers loss. On bomberblitz there is a sack worsfold thread. People are saying get roos as interim coach. He wouldn't go near your club. They are even wanting to get rid of Xavier Campbell. Poor Mark Neeld cops it to. another sack Neeld. Anyway its nice to see this club turning on there own and playing not well. I think today the supporters are more annoyed because its carlton they lost to. 

    Bulldogs have kicked away now.

    That membry miss is a coach killer. Seriously he kicks that saints are only down by 8. Its hard to believe that players earn what they earn and cant do there job in kicking a goal. He was in front of goal.

    Hard to believe StKildas kicking.

    I’m starting to question the quality of the Sherrins this year, you just can’t kick that bad when you’re a full time footballer.

    Freo have dropped to below average and the Saints have stepped it up to average. Absolute blockbuster.

    Have been posting a little about the trip on the Demonland soccer forum. Games start June 13.

    Come and have a chat. I'm trying to give some colour and a dash of Vodka.

    Russia is another world but who knows :)

    WADA convicted drug cheat. Hardly the type of bloke you'd have any respect for, if he was your captain.

    Sounds a bit like Trenners and Grimey back in the day. Those two sounded like a pair of scalded school boys every time they fronted the media after a loss.

    I would not take that as a reason for him not to be captain, who else could captain them that  has not been convicted,  he is over rated as a player, the bombers played above themselves last year, I never rate heppel as a player. They have recruited very poorly, from the time they picked parish I always thought he was never going to be any good, I mean he was classed as a inside mid, he is too slim for that I can't see any tricks to his game, he does not get much of it his kicking is just average, he is weak lucky we have Jason Taylor because in the past we would have picked him, he is Cale Morton mark2, can anyone tell me his best weapon?

    What a beautiful morning to wake up to off the back of a comfortable 70 point win and Essendon getting rolled by the winless Carlton.

    Parker cleared for the high hit on Impey. Is that a fair call folks? Ken Hinkley was certainly animated in the box after Ports win.

    Essendon fans.

    It takes a bad start to the year and a loss to carlton to make them have a meltdown, not a systematic doping regime....

    I said it last week, but how good is it that Essendon are so crap? This time there’s no cry of WADA conspiracy, no “oh well, we only have half a team”, just good old fashioned being terrible when they thought they were going to be good. I am enjoying every minute of it.

    These jokes were about us once.

    Last season in hindsight looks like a dead cat bounce for the Bummers.

    I said over the summer that these teams bringing in multiple players from other clubs on good money can lead to disaster.

    Stringer is troubled and Smith and Saad have limitations and at Port,  Watts has been only fair and Rockliff is just starting to get going with JT and Barry unlikely to have a big impact.

    • 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.
