sadly i agree , think we be lucky to get within 60 points ...  

i can never work out why we have to player interstate sides in NT , its a advantage to them. I know re $$ but we need wins. 

We play the interstate teams there because they're the teams we would get the lowest attendances to for home games in Melbourne.

You wouldn't play a Melbourne team there, when we would normally get at least 35,000 to that home game.

    GWS maybe?

    Expect to see a lot of McGovern on tv today.

    My money is on him to break the record for intercept marks. His game is absolutely MADE for playing a team like us.

    We need a miracle.

    Too much for something that approaches football.....and doesn't resemble manic dodgems ?

    I do sense however the Eagles will control the ball, control the tempo and therefore the game.

    We might fly out of the gate with delusional exuberance to the chorus of euphoric rapture but it never lasts long.

    I'd be content today if we can just exhibit some intelligence with the ball......again....too much ?

    I’m looking forward to the commentary on how Gilbert MacAdams Aunty or uncle kicked a goal in a local league game from beyond the tree in the outer wing which is about a 85m roost.

    We should have either Pruess or Gawn stationed deep forward to bring it to ground all day . Our bigs and mids will do well . Hopefully we can manufacture enough goals . May will curb kennedy somthing we never have .

     

    we are a chance .

    Earlier in the season when hope still sprung eternal the Gameday Thread was always bullish and full of humour ( not all of it funny I'll admit) but now, like all else Demonish,  there's a surfeit of apathy and despair.

    It now fails to lift the spirits of even a sad old flagellator such as myself .

    Arrrh!!! …. The MFC has a lot to answer for.

    After watching the mfc for many decades looking forward to every game with hope and anticapation,I find now there is little to enthuse aboutanymore  just another game of despair and disappointment.Think i will give one of the ex wives a call just to top my day off

    Am expecting an 80 pt drubbing so hopefully we at least crack in and provide some interest for us die hards 

    So far a successful trip for the Dees to Alice, with the Casey VFLW team having a 65-point win over NT Thunder yesterday. Their biggest win of the season so far and well-deserved by the sounds of it.

    Fingers crossed for an unlikely double!

    The curtain raiser is far more enjoyable than any other game I’ve watched this year. 

    Agree and the Umpiring is great also

    Remember in recent seasons when we used to discuss which Melbourne team would turn up.

    Hard to fathom that by comparison those were the good times.

    I have no idea what to expect. But I fear Hurn and McGovern are just going to mark everything that comes down our forward line as we didn't have much depth or experience down there. Hopefully Rawlings has come up with a good game plan. 

    But having been to the ground it has the most beautiful background with the ranges there. 

    Just have a go today melbourne 


    Hurn late out.

    Debutant Franky Watson in. Quick rebounding indigenous half back. Eagles with 6 indigenous players out there today.

    We are into $2.40 now for the win. Vs a flag fancy. 

    Either punters know something we don't, or there is still an element of trust and belief in this team from punters.

    Pressure is off Praha. We cannot make Finals, so we are a big chance to “turn up” today...

    The first 10 minutes will tell a story

    • 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.
