Here goes! About to finish up here nick off for a quick gym session, get home and swing to the sweet sounds of Buddymania. 

 

 

Thank goodness no Justin Westhoff (no goals since 5 vs us!!) clone 

Reid is a good player no shame if he plays well only that he plays few games .

We have just as much ability if not more but need to play as a team if not then it will be a very difficult assignment.

There's been a lot of gloom on Demonland of late. Although it must be said that even at the best of times, there is always a healthy miasma of despair hovering around the place. Comes with supporting the Dees I suppose.

And yes … I sat through two shockers this year and was ready to chew my own hand off. I did no such thing obviously and contented myself by giving the maid a jolly good thrashing.

Nonetheless onward and upward! Team sport is a strange beast and it only takes one special moment to turn zeroes into heroes.

Who will produce that memorable momentum changing moment tonight?

Perhaps Frosty will outmuscle Buddy in a one on one and then break away..... take a bounce or two and ….. kick a raking goal!!!!

    This is the damage that barracking for Melbourne can do. 

    (I'd say seek help, but the only remedy is to block everything out. Follow darts or international scrabble.)

    Hurling might be a more appropriate alternative Maze.

    There is the chance he could do that, apart from kick the raking goal. He will run to 50, stop, look around and get caught holding the ball...

    If it cheers anyone up, Buddy’s personal record against us is very poor considering he’s played for two of the best teams of the past ten years whilst we have been one of the worst.

     

    He’s never kicked more than 5 goals against us. (Equal second least)

    Hes kicked less goals against us than all but one other team (not including expansion teams and Hawthorn)

    In fact, he’s kicked more goals against Sydney than he has against the MFC.

     

    In Frost and OMac we trust.

    Jetta a late withdrawl - no reason given. ?  He hasn't looked right all year so better to let him recover than risk whatever it is getting worse. 

    Hore to replace him.

    Grateful that it is Hore not ANB to replace Jetts

    Jones to back pocket


    If dry, swans by 70+.  If wet, Swans by 50

    Buddy with 8+


    We are easily the worst team in the comp right now. Amazing given the talent on the list.

    I just don't want to see a zone in our backline where we see two players do nothing and then the oppo take an easy mark.

     

    Geez,  I don't like the look of these late changes. Jetta likely would've taken Heeney who will be a nightmare up forward. Wonder if Salem goes to him?

    Hope not. We need Salem distributing the ball off half back/wing. He’s a legitimately poor defender, and Heeney has been brilliant up forward and would kick a bag.

    Look at the team lining up is not very reassuring. This looks like season-ending stuff right here. How disappointing!

    Buddy will score more than the Dees tonight 

    Swans by 76

    Yeah yeah, I'm negative, blah blah 

    Doesn't mean I'm wrong

    It's going to happen tonight.

    I’ve just got back from 6 days of fishing and drinking beers. 

    My body is knackered. 

    I have tipped the Dees by 14 points tonight and will celebrate accordingly.

    Look I truly do commend you, I should have learnt my lesson I walked out on the Dees V Dogs game in 05 when White won us the game... Sadly I do turn the games off now I think part of me believes me watching is the problem and if I turn it off a miracle might happen....

    Lesson learnt. Left the MCG years ago v Fremantle and headed for Jolimont station. This was in the dark days. Heard a few roars from the remaining crowd as I trudged up the hill and assumed the Dockers had piled on a few more. Little did I know, Miller et al made a miraculous recovery and won the game. The lesson I should have remembered was at the Whitten oval when Robbie marked and goaled to seal it and make the finals after we looked like losing in the last quarter. Nearly got some serious aggro from the Footscray faithful as I celebrated. It's never over unless you're 20 points behind with 30 seconds to go. Now I'm older I turn to radio coverage or live scores from the AFL site. My blood pressure can't take it anymore.

    Straight into footy and beers, perfect.

    Not expecting much tonight with the extensive injury list we have. With Jetta and Lockhart out I count 10 on the injured list that would play in the 22. that is a lot of preferred players and depth missing from the list.

    While not expecting much, I think it will be close as I do not rate the Swans this season.

    • 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.
