Stood next a bunch of Hawthorn flogs in the 2018 final, when we got ahead in the last quarter, they turned as started bagging me- saying how pathetic us supporters are and we don’t even know how it feels to win. Besides Richmond one of the worst supporter bases. 

Had an old wino lookin' bloke with hardly a tooth in his head stand behind me during the 1988 GF and hoarsly scream " C'mon the .... Horrible .... HAAWKS!" for the whole forkin' game.

    I remember a few years back i was in the Daulton bar in StKilda minding my own business when a group of ppl came up with this loudmouth psychopath wearing a Hawks scarf about 20 years younger than me and about 3 feet taller than anyone else, asked me who i barracked for? I said Melbourne and he then proceeded to laugh as loud as he could and bang on and on about how pathetic we were and we stood for nothing most shtful club in history irrelevant etc etc for a solid 5 mins....i absorbed what i could and said a few things back but he was having none of it and wanted to pick a fight right then and there in the bar......so i exited through the nearest door to find a beer somewhere else.....the unbridled arrogance of this suburban fool was just unbelievable. Even his friends told him to calm down several times....

    So its days like this that i look forward to with a wry smile and hope this guy is sitting there watching every minute.

    So heres to you little bigman.....KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE RED AND THE BLUE !

    I'm off to a mates house, he's Hawks and has refused to go to the footy with me for 5+ years, as I get a little loud... well he's in for it this arvo in front of his wife and kids hahahaha!!!

    Let's see us put the second last team away by half time.

    I don;t know why people expect this. We have a make-shift forward line.

    I'll take the 4 points anyway we get them. I expect to win but i have no expectations about a big win. In fact i prefer tough battles. The doggies have been excellent but beating up on the Suns and North won;t stand them in good stead come September.

    Let's hope so Ding and get to 5-0 will give us some space from other contenders.

    On the train with my 9yo son. He is the keenest of my three sons. It feels so wonderfully different to be going to a game as we sit high on the ladder. A bit staggering really.

    While we're still several hours away from the first bounce, I thought I'd share with you all this little story about Hawthorn ruckman Jonathon Ceglar, who has been omitted for today's game.  Not many of you would know that I went to school with him and, while he was good at sport, he was no chop at any other aspect of life.

    In fact, I'd say that Jonathon is without a shadow of a doubt the dumbest kid I ever met growing up. He never learned the body mechanics required to climb down ladders/trees/etc because he fell off literally every time, mostly by choice.

    He once kept a bottle of apple juice in his schoolbag for five months thinking it would turn into alcohol.  He skolled the lot and instantly threw up everywhere. The next year he tried it again but left it in the bag for even longer, thinking that THAT was the flaw in his plan.

    He’d turn up to school with all these cuts and scratches and say it was from playing with the cat that lives in his street. However, once he elaborated it became very apparent that he was describing a koala. When he got called out he threatened to fight everyone. Even after someone went to the library and got an encyclopedia and showed him a picture of a koala and said “Is this what the cat looks like” and he said "Yes" he still insisted that he was right and it was a cat. He wanted to bet us $50 that he was right, but the whole drama repeated when it turned out he didn’t know what $50 looked like.

    When we were in Year 8 we didn’t see him for the whole of Term 1. We assumed that he’d moved schools or died falling out of a tree or something, until we found out he’d just kept going to the Year 7 classrooms. And he was getting worse grades than the year before. He straight up didn’t know the difference between left and right (not like confusing them sometimes, just didn’t understand they were two different things) until I think Year 10, when we worked out that he was left handed and because he wrote with that hand he assumed that was his right/write hand.

    When we started going to parties, he kept insisting that the beer he was drinking out of a plastic bottle was better quality than glass or cans because “plastic is more technological.” He once gave out invitations to his party but instead of an address there was just a drawing of three houses with an arrow pointing to the one on the right.

    One day I saw him in a shoe store holding up the shoe (a left-footed Adidas trainer) that was on display and asking the shop assistant if he could get a discount if he bought the right one as well.

    It’s just as well this bloke is okay at footy because he is NO GOOD at anything else.

    Haha nice story. You must have been about 25 yo in 7th grade. So who was the dumbest?

    Well I'm excited for today. This is a game we should win and we must win for so many reasons. Experts are watching us today to see if we go back to our old ways and lose the winnable games. 

    I'd love to see Luke Jackson just clunk marks today and see Trac turn on another blinder. 

    Lets get the win and keep our top 2 spot.

    Watching the VFL theres about 10 players ready to step into the AFL side if given the chance.  Weid and Brown are certainties vs Richmond.

    No pressure Tom.

    Yep agree, I think it would be a mistake to play him deep.

    He's much better up the field running his opponent into the ground and clunking marks.

    Who on earth thought it would be good for him to bulk up last year?

    Gotta say I enjoy beating Kennett as much as beating the Hawks

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
