Good day for the club. 

Players who are being rotated still get a run against some AFL standard players and it looks like our guys got through unscathed. 

Great result.

    Mrs W and I are booked into the Miami Hotel in Nth Melb for that Friday. Easy walk down to Arden St and back. Although coming back we will have to stop in at the Three Crowns Hotel for a burger and a couple of beers.

     

    5 Star Hotel with Limousine transport to the gate?

    Style indeed :)

    Relax mate. AFL side vs a VFL side. They should've won by more.

    I hope the Bombers clean up after themselves when they leave today. Be careful anyone heading to Casey tomorrow. Maybe don't wear thongs just in case.

    This is similar to one of my favorite sledges to annoying and vocal opposition fans at games where we are getting beaten: 

    'Your team is rubbish - a half decent team would have beaten us by twice as much'

    Thanks for that. I just rescued the season's ticket as it was starting to melt.

    Fake News with no mention that it was basically our VFL side. 

     

    No doubt the comments will be coming, especially after Pert released our bold plan during the week.  The nuffs will be out in force.

    "Honestly recon lav could be our version of degoey if he gets an absolute clean run at it.

    Would love for this to be the year of parish mcgrath lang and lav"

    The drug head supporters read a lot into this game. Just took the above quote from Bomberblitz. 

    (This guy  also won the  spelling bee)

    FMD!!!

    I left 1/2 way through the last. What a mismatch.

    I thought Jordan and Bedford were our best Dee players at least until 1/2 time. I don't even know what number Rivers is?

    Hunt, Baker and Wagner going through the paces which is as kind as you can get. Hore was reasonable today as well. Bradke played a reasonable game as well.

    Saw the same problems as last year. Poor kicking to position and too many handballs off target. It is a practice match so I won't be throwing my ham at the fridge. 

    On a positive note Essendon supporters are as ugly as Richmond. 

    The ganggangs were making plenty of noise in the last quarter.

    Hardly a surprise when there were barely any MFC players in the game,and of the ones that were, at least half have no AFL experience. Save your ham for tomorrow if it happens then.

    Any Essendrug  Teeth ? left in the Turf

    What was the point of that game if they turn up with 2 sides?

    Yes it is a Hit out, but playing young fatigued players against a fresh side after Half Time is a risky card to play.

    Yeah he played okay. None of our players looked likely just yet for AFL.

    Other than the players who have played a senior game, Bedford looked the closest from today, but still only 1-2 games this year.

    Any idea of how many players being used against Adelaide tomorrow?

    • 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.
