If the longest flag drought will ever be broken 55years!

Not looking forward to watching one of my friends seeing their side win a flag!

Easy fix, don’t have any friends!

    I'm looking forward to next year but having an off season this year may be a blessing in disguise.  

    Since the week break was between the regular season and finals was introduced, at least one of the final fours teams has missed finals the following year (including 2 of the three grand finalists) and one of the grand finalists have missed finals the year before.  

    The difference that four or five weeks makes now, means that missing finals can be a real positive for teams that are looking to build towards the next season.  It means clubs can start their pre-seasons earlier and get their players in for surgery a lot earlier that they otherwise would.  

    A full pre-season for us, getting any surgeries in early, an easier draw and a high drafts picks (that may be traded) will be a huge positive for us as we have a serious crack at the flag next year.

    This year has been a real disappointment, but I'm very optimistic about next year!

    We must win as many games as possible to lead us into next season in a good spot. Also needed if we are to continue increasing membership next year. And finally if players are playing hurt then give them extended rests and have a look as more of the kids to see if they can cut it for next season.

    - Win 3 of the next 6 as the backline settles in and forward line regresses to the mean from complete disaster to ok

    - Beat the Tigers and Pies to disrupt their run in to finals

    - Coast the last 2 weeks to preserve draft position and then dive in to the mock drafts

    - Seeing what Lockhart, Baker, Hore can keep doing and maybe adding Dunkley and Chandler to the list of debuts.

    - Hopefully adding Hannan and Kolodjashnij to the list of guys we might be able to rely upon in positions of weakness

    - Preuss!!! I'm not a believer that he's best 22 but I think he needs a run of games at some stage to preserve Gawn

    - Vanders, Jetta, Joel Smith, Tommy Sparrow all back healthy and ready to do a full preseason

    I think we had 18 marks inside 50 but couldn’t buy a goal.!!!!!!

    Be careful what you wish for. Someone might go and do it, and then you'll want them to do it again. Before you know it you're dependent and could end up on bigfooty.

    It's a gateway football act.

    All about the development heading into 2020 from here!  Want to see some wins, confidence and synergy in the team so we can hit the ground running next season.


    - Would love to see Baker getting some more games into him; Baker and Hunt roaming the wings of the MCG could be a dangerous proposition.

    - getting some quality game-time into Lever, May, Hibberd, Salem, Hore, Jetta, Lockhart, etc.  Let them learn how to predict and play off each other in the second half of the year so there's no growing pains round 1 2020. 

    - Sparrow and Dunkley starting to get some form at Casey and start to beat down the door for seniors.

    - AVB to make a full recovery and get some games in, before a quick rest and ready to go for day one of pre-season.

    - Petracca playing full time in the mid-field with little spells up forward.  Let him feel the heat and intensity so he knows how far his endurance needs to improve going into the next pre-season.  Want him built like Jobe Watson round 1 2020.

    - Weideman is looking like Max Gawn in 2014.  He's reading the ball and getting to the right spots, but it's just not sticking.  When they start to stick, then we'll have a real player on our hands.

    - Brayshaw in the guts.

    - Harmes to continue with his current trajectory; he is a gun and one of the most underrated players going round.

    - Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney, Harmes with Gawn in the center square - we really shouldn't be losing many clearances.

    • 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.
