3 upsets so far:  Ess d GWS.  Nth d Pies.  WBD d Power. 

Today might make it 4 upsets with a Dees d Lions!

Glad we had only one change.  Time to settle the team and get some synergy going among fwd, backs, middle and synergy with ball movement end to end. 

Optimistic that we can click today; if we do we win!

    I live 700 metres from the Gabba.  Clear blue sky right now although we had a couple of heavy showers overnight. Have had some rain most days this week so the deck may be a little slippery. Predicting 25 degrees though and no doubt for you southerners up here for the game, it will be sunscreen, shorts and polo shirts!  ? 14 degrees in Melbourne today.......

    Hope to catch up with a few of you either at the German Club pre match or the Pineapple post game.

    Are we ready for Frost-Ball?

    If the Lions are to play finals at least make them  earn their place. Hopefully last week instilled some confidence in our team and we go out there and play some decent footy. Keen to see if the young gun Andrews goes to Weid. 

    Big Call- Weid to kick 3+.

    Have a big fat weisenstaphaner and a schnapps for me @ProperDee

    first time in a long time I won't be making the two hour trip to the Gabba.

    I just can't be sure what they're going to dish up but here's hoping we've got the wheels back on.

    Looking forward to more beast mode from Viney. Go Dees

    This may sound optermistic but if we win today we are only 3 games behind them and 2 games out of the 8 .Can only dream we can still make finals

    Geez, I had hoped to get up there for this game. I had planned to impose on rellys for free accommodation and grog but, sadly, it fell through.

    I was confident of a victory last week and am even more confident this week. 

    I shall enjoy my own booze and celebrate ( in my typical style)  at The Manor.

    Contrary to your arrangement BBO she's the type who'd be far more likely to be handing out the jolly good spanking.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Win today and we are still in the hunt. A long shot, but still alive. 

    Go Hard Demons...

    I give us a chance but think the bears will be hard to beat on their own dunghill.

    Our percentage is quite poor. Even if we win we won't move up at all.

    Both jealous and proud of any Vic based dees supporters that have made a weekend away to fly the flag and watch this one. Wish I was with you. I’m bloody freezing.

    Yep and start winning big.


    Great day up here and the ground should be fast by start time. Reckon we have a big chance here. Bring the pressure, win contested ball and the clearances and win it will be. Lions played circle work last week as Saints put no pressure on and a couple of weeks ago Lions were ordinary against Blues. Go Dees.

    We are right on the edge, big time. But i expect to see the Club fight hard, i went to all those games in 1987. 

    The scenario could happen again. 

    A win on the road can galvanise belief. 

    I think we will do well today...

    Today we will be reminded that we’re a mediocre football team. 

    8 goal whacking coming our way.

    Im predicting a win for the second week in a row.

    Not at all confident, but there you go.

    I hope you have TV coverage in The Azores @Skuit. I will be listening on internet radio from Thailand* 

    *Not a brag at all coz if i was home i could actually watch the game. At least the food is good here.

    • 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.
