Interestingly the game may have been played in Sydney (for some strange reason) if the Hobart game fell through.

Thus the game may not have even been relocated to Marvel.

    I guess that is good news for our Tassie fans (all 3 of you? haha)

    Hope we can finally find a win at the wind tunnel.

    100 to one on is ridiculous odds in a two horse race, even in this contest where one of the horses is a thoroughbred champion and the other is a Shetland pony.

    You almost have to chuck 10 on them in an attempt to alleviate the shame of losing.

    It's an effort to get people to back North there would be vey few fronting up with their cash.

    $1.01 you get a better return from the bank!

    Thanks for the help Clint. We got our tickets; Ricky Ponting Stand Bay 7, so you will be able to hear us where you are. Just look for the children and Nort fans we startle.

    Presumably the AFL had decided that the most important component of this match was to make Melbourne fly for about an hour to get to their.

    Is this the ground that routinely has an 8 goal wind blowing whichever way it feels like?

    Would be just our luck if the wind changed each quarter and the Kangas had the wind the whole game.   Only something that mental could stop the Dees juggernaut.

    We got Boon bay 12. Couldn’t get anything in Ponting for a group of our size (8). Not perfect but should beat the garbage we’ve had the last few times.

    Might do an Essendon fan and complain that the game wasn't moved somewhere more people could see it.

    Correct if I'm wrong but every time we play North at Blundstone they end up kicking with the wind in the first quarter meaning that we were always too knackered to take advantage of it in the last?

    The most minor of minor danger games this one, if we can't handle the wind.

    This will only be a danger game if Bombay Airconditioning  placed that bet back in early March that North would lose every game this year. If he placed it, we will drop this game for sure. Hopefully he didn't.

    We usually go to the Waterfront Hotel before and after. It's near the ferry stop and then a short walk to the ground. It gets pretty crowded but they have  a large outside area which is great when the weather's good, which it should be.

    Was going to suggest Waterfront. Only one within walking distance.

    Might have to wander in around 12 for a couple of pints before the game.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
