If they are going to kick over a dummy they might think of getting one with arms above its head.  And go real high tech and have the arms waving about.

I was going to include something about this is my report today but forgot! I agree 1000%. What's the point of a dummy if it has no hands? These things seem to be designed for soccer walls and not for AFL footy. A simple redesign with some waving arms couldn't hurt!

    You sure about that, Binman?  If you're gonna use Saty, surely, to be effective,  he needs to be perched on top of a step ladder...!!

    Agreed, I only just outdo one of the witches hats, seems a bit of a silly argument, to be game realistic it would have to wave arms, move side to side and do trash talk, I wonder if Bill Shorten is free?

    Gonna post some pics on here and Insta the quality is not very good but thought I may as well

    have always thought that part of the arms race will include specialised AFL training equipment.

    Could be fun thinking of what they might come up with

    Do they use the machine that shoots the footy out (a la clay pigeon targets) at training?

    Good to know that at this time of year Santa is training the house down. He’s got a hard gig coming up in the near future.

    yes. he came back from the break badly overweight with poor skinfolds. a major time trial looms and will certainly test him in 10 days time

    • 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.
