Can't believe we're actually here, feels like forever. This match is huge, if ever I'd like to see us come out and smash a team hard early it's tomorrow. I wonder if there'll be any info about how players went in the scratch match.

We have this one, despite the two absentees - and that has not really panned out as a concrete omission, yet. There is suddenly some selected pace, foot skills, mobility reeking of intent ... go boys! Hope TMac gets some time at CHB, once again.

 

Cant believe those to boys could make a mistake like that so close to an afl game.Still think we will win comfortably,ANB is a good competator but would love to have seen the excitement Pickett would bring

    It's frustrating we're going to have to wait to see Kozzi and Bennell in the same team. Just so silly.

    Oh yes, game day. It's been so long. Need a win, must win, no excuses.

     

    Problem is that could have been copied and pasted from the Carlton forum ?

    Game day :D

    Round 1 was bitterly disappointing for mine, not so much in terms of the result but by just how similar our performance was to what we regularly produced last year. 

    Excited for many reasons, but optimistic in seeing some better connection going inside 50.

    Go Dees! And go Harley!

    Gastro’s pretty contagious, isn’t it?

    If we all care to recall... Tom has 'unfinished business' with this mob. Would love to see him run amok at CHF. Pleased to see the inclusion of Jayden Hunt, courageous with a never say die attitude to boot.

    Hmm not at all confident to be honest... Unfortunately think the Blues will roll us & set the scene for another poor year for us ☹️

    I hope Harley gets through, I hope Maxy stands up and kicks a goal if required and I hope there are no injuries and we win.

    Me to looking forward to the litany of excuses on here though

    should be veeeerrryyyy nteresting

    Really upset that ANB is back

    My young nephew thinks he is a Jonah!

    Looks like we are back to the good old days of no small forward with Kozzie out and ANB as his replacement.

    Should have bought Bedford in.

    Anyway if we cant win this game with the colossal advantage Gawn has in the ruck, we are doomed and North supporters can start thinking about pick 1.

    Good luck Harley!


    I think we are doing the right thing with this side but it will take time. Looking to the future with a couple more younsters is the way to go. However they don't have a lot of experience together and I think this will show. I can see us getting done but we are the type of side that can bounce around with a few good results this year and some nasty ones. Normally I would be pulling my hair out over the result but there is some rebuilding to do and we do have some good youngsters who should get games. Lose this but beat Essenscum the following week.

     

    Just waiting at Scumbury station for the train to Spencer Street.

    Aiming for my usual counter lunch and gutful of pots before heading over to Docklands

    Funny …… I don't see any other supporters around.   Well as they say …… the early bird ….

    • 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.
