There’s a great doco on TV tonight about the mating ritual of the dung beetle. Two shaftings on at the same time. Decisions, decisions........

    I'm predicting a 40 point win.

    Has Richmond caught the St kilda bug?

    Anyone want to go for a spin in my new Jag after quarter time?

    • Haha 6

    Reasons to go:

    1. Drink Beer at ridiculous prices.

    2. Have a 1/50,000 chance of winning a car, which will be 1/100,000 as I am not a young female or person that will look good in the promo material, so I actually have no chance.

    3. Catch up with mates

    4. Cheer an odd moment of Melbourne play here and there

    5. Get an Oliver cup.  Never got any of the others, I’m really stretching here...

    6.  Practice my Dali Lama calmness tolerating nuffti Richmond bogan d-heads.  Especially on the public transport home.

    I will probably go just to look at the numbskull Richmond supporters. We wont win.


    I'm going to Gold Class tonight to watch Lion King with my lovely half.

    More excited to see Simba turn badass again.

    At Auskick with my oldest kid, skills here much better than Melbournes atm

    Maybe they need to enrol a few of the boys at Auskick to work on their skills?

    Would like to say I am going to enjoy the Ashes but with our luck in the umpire review stakes it is just giving me another dose of MFCSS.

    I’ll tune in tonight. 

    Until quarter time should be long enough.

    I had a dream we won tonight. Does this mean I am a passionate rusted on supporter or just plain out of touch with reality?

    Both obviously

    God help us. We are going to need it. 

     

    It is so totally understandable that the devastatingly poor on field efforts of MFC in 2019 have devastated the spirit of all MFC fans. 

    I will go tonight but l really don't know why, as l expect to get bloody annoyed at silly turnovers and even more annoyed at hearing the opposition song at the end of the game. 

    Clearly l am just another one of those that has supported this club for so long,  Disappointment has been my mood and my middle name.

    Toiges by 41, slowing down in Q4, as they have finals to play.

    I'll be watching from the comfort of my recliner in the back blocks of Canberra, and searching for evidence of 'tinkering' to our game plan, that Goody mentioned in yesterday's presser.

    'tinkering'

    I'm going tonight and I have no idea why. I fear what Lynch and Riewoldt will do to us, whichever Oscar is playing on.

    However I'm looking forward to seeing Melksham back.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
