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?

    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.

    Not even bothered. I’ve got the kids this weekend so I think we will watch a movie......so much less stressful.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
