    That photo is just sad to look at.

    Partly because most of the boys in it never reached their potential. Those that did become half respectable moved on to other clubs.

    Mostly it's sad because of Bails. We hung him out to dry in 2011 and he would pass on nearly two years later. It's a real tragedy that he went through as much crap as he did in his final years but a testament to him that he refused to die bitter.

    Always loved Bailey. Victim of circumstances. 

    He could coach. Just had a bad team full of softies and primadonnas

    Never stood a chance when the goons in head office started white anting him.

    Should have chosen Sheedy.

    This thread, despite its uplifting title, seems to be regurgitating past pain for no apparent benefit.

    last night, I was channel surfing in bed and came across a Ch44 show called That’s good for footy, or something similar. Low budget weekly show with 2 AFL guest players doing Q&A (really good). Last nights show had Maxy and Jesse on. They were great club ambassadors, only two questions stuck but I thought I’d share:

    1. What do you think when you see a kid at the footy wearing a jersey with your number on their back?

    Max: That we’ve got great club history and Jimmy Stynes is well remembered

    Jesse: I feel sorry for the kid whose dad couldn’t afford to get the extra 1 to put on the jumper

    2. What’s the one word that comes to mind when you think of in playing for Melbourne?

    Max: Honour (emphasised the club history, oldest club etc)

    Jesse: Privileged 

    Listening to this show, it dawned on me that these guys are starting to see themselves as a unit creating a modern legacy.

    Jesse showing a funny side. Nice to see....taking lessons from Max? Thanks SBF.

    A little part of me wonders how these guys would have turned out with the current coaching team. Were most of them spuds or did the club fail them. Probably a combination.

    Probably not much better.

    Grimes might still be around.

    • 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.
