What's to brag about? Paris is a toilet of a city. Literally. There is dog crap everywhere. I mean everywhere.

Then there are the people... worse than the crap.

 

Them’s fighting words. 

Of all the things I love (wife, family, Demons, the order varies week by week) Paris is well intrenched. Yes, you have to watch the footpaths, but the beauty, the culture, the food, the history. And Parisians are unfairly maligned in my view. I would happily visit every year.

Off topic, sorry.

    It's ok guys I'll take the credit for our turnaround.. My first daughter was born just after the Essendon game. Since then we've been on-song! She's the good luck charm ;)

    Too true.  A poll on at what point in the game did you stop being anxious would be interesting.  In my case a few minutes into Q3 (which is a record since the 1960's).

    I was on edge until we got to 140 points and I remembered that old saying in footy...."the first team to 140 points wins the game"

    Only place I’ve travelled to that was worse was Nice.

    So over rated, other than The Louvre and the catacombs, Eiffel Tower was ok. But seriously has nothing on places like Kyoto, Edinburgh, Lisboa, Corio... ha ha

    Upon seeing how happy I am following our magnificent win, my wife responded with “don’t go getting any ideas you silly old man”. 

    I didn’t realise my happiness was that obvious! ?

    maybe it was her, hinting PpD

    I love Paris. The Parisians, and the French of the provinces.

    Lovely, friendly, happy people.

    No wonder you didn't like it, you went tourist route.

    You have to get out into the backstreets, and the cafes, and provinces, to see the real French.  Not the western tourist spots.

    Played almost the perfect game yesterday. How good was it to see all the players get around him after he kicked the last goal. 

    There was a great moment where Petracca was walking between Oliver and Brayshaw back to the middle with his arms draped around them - real team spirit with those young guys especially. They know they are building.

    The Bulldogs were up by that much on Friday night. No way was that the point my anxiety dropped off!

    I tried to screen grab that but Bull Smith was in the way. Would have been a great “v2” of my previous avatar of a post game Brayshaw/Petracca hug from Gus’ first game. Gee that feels like a long time ago.

    Just to say, as someone who lives in Paris: I walk our dog most mornings in a local park. The only person there who isn't carrying dog-poo bags is ... me. (I figure it's good fertiliser?)

    Paris is a bit like Oscar McDonald - you see what you want to see.

    Have to agree with that, I've spent a lot of time in Paris and if it wasn't for the Dees I'd live there, it is a wonderful city.

    I've stood in plenty of Dog [censored] over the years in Melbourne but never in Paris.

    And as you would know, not all french are Parisians.

    Did you go on one of those 24 countries in 24 days tours, is that really all you saw in Paris?

    The thing I love most is that we seem to have finally developed a killer instinct like a shark that's got the scent of blood in the nostrils. I think it was Healy on On The Couch who said the mantra at the club is to step on the necks of the opposition. That's a ruthlessness I've never seen at the Demons in my time. We have developed a hard edge but have talent on every line to really dismantle sides and not just grind out wins.

    All this positive press makes me uneasy and I want to see us do it over a long period but bloody hell it feels exciting like we could be on the cusp of something really special.

    • 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.
