Magnificent morning here in Canberra. I'm wondering the same thing re beers. My sister and her family are on the road on their way here. Their eta is 1pm...I might check to make sure the beers are drinkable around noon.

Went for a ride this morning to work off some pre-match nerves, it really is a superb autumn day.

 

Trying uoad a photo and keep getting a server error code: -200 whatever that means.

Looks like it's going to be ripping conditions up there Ken... how's it now, and have you seen any signs of demon-life in the capital?

    It would be classic Dees to blow today so it is a good test to see how mentally tough they really are. Could be season defining.

    Still not sold.

    Seen it all before.

    GWS are playing terrible football and we’re 2-0.  Historically, this is the sort of game we’d lose. Time will tell but I have very little confidence at this stage.

    Very winnable game. 

    Brown and Weideman back training.

    Stay focused and we can set our season up nicely. 
     

    How much do the players want it.

    Could be. 3 -0 is a just massive start...and creates something in a club. Its so close, just hanging there like low lying fruit, waiting to be taken. hoping the dees are up to it.

    Never need to post these days. It all gets said better than I could say it. 

    Let's harken back to the Northey days, when we had finally shrugged off the easybeats tag and had belief.

    Langdon reminds me of the Febey twins. There is only one of him, but it always looks like two of him out there. 

    PS Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, but the nusing home staff have learned better than to let me watch the dees games live. Too many solid objects thrown at too many screens.?

    Got my 50 year MCC membership earlier this year. Wondering if that trumps my 50 year ban from the members.  ?

    Good to hear from you Rollo. 

    Are you actually at a nursing home these days or still practising law in Wangaratta?

    Dont like it. Melbourne will have to sit around most of today twiddling their thumbs and thinking too much. Much better flying up today having  a relaxing lunch then go for a light  run later and off to the game.

     

    Should have booked everyone in to tour the National War Memorial. With a special prize for the first person to find the tribute to Bluey Truscott.

    The time on periods are crucial.

    Game opens up, fatigue sets in and their bodies aren't used to it. Last year, shorter periods and more inter-changes

    Saw Sydney belt Richmond in the junk time. They wanted it more and the Tigers were not there.

    Our fitness and will should help.

    No switching off.

    Currently enjoying a convivial at the Kingston prior to the game. Judging by the team colours on display we should out number GWS support by 3 to 1. Mind you Mrs DW and I make enough noise to drown out 40 oppo supporters

    I've just been enjoying the Romsey sun while slurping down 4 stubbies of Jameson and cola that one of my acolytes left behind. It's rubbish but alcoholic - the sort of stuff that @picket fencewould rate as a very fine brew.

    Time to open a shiraz and start my pre game routine.

    I note that a few above are less than confident.

    Bah to that! I've loaded up on Sportsbet - my nethers tell me we're a good thing today!

    That seems so out of character uncle.  And i'm seeing that as an "unlike us" omen for this match.  Demons by 7 at a canter.

    Spin the wheel...

    Who's more uncomfortable with the favourites tag, the players or the supporters?

    With Saints going down to the hapless Dons, and the Blues towelling up Freo, I’m getting an uncomfortable feeling that beating both means little, and we may be in for a shock today...

    Gotta start well.

    Go Demons.

    • 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.
