Well the Dees are doing one thing well. No whinging about fixture changes Inspite of the large financial losses. We are  just get on with it. We are now living in an era never seen in modern times. The likes of Scott make me anger.

    The only thing that would make Scott happy would be all 22 H&A matches + finals in Geelong. The guy cannot help himself.

    The free ride from the umpires for the dogs has been happening for many, many years, complaining about it is not going to make any difference.

    Spot on the dogs know what they can do and use it. We are too nice in this area and play by the rules. Our coaching leaves a bit to be desired on this area. I don't believe it cost us the game just made the dogs score a a goal or two higher.

    Not sure the coaches can do anything about it, it is up to the umpires to apply the rules evenly to both sides at all times.

    From ABC Website:

    Gutwein on the AFL: Mask up, buttercups!

    Yeah, look, he didn't phrase it in that exact way, but he did say that masks would be mandatory at this weekend's AFL matches.

    The North Melbourne vs Geelong AFL match at Blundstone arena on Saturday will proceed, as will the Hawthorn vs Brisbane Lions at UTAS Stadium on Sunday.

    Mr Gutwein said the "onus is on the fans" to bring their own mask for use at the game.

    Up to 10,000 seated spectators will be allowed at each match.

     

    With Brisbane going to Tassie presumably because they can't get back into Qld without quarantine means we won't be playing in Qld either.  Anybody's guess where we will end up.  1st pref is Vic but could NT open the doors in time...really hope not.

    ItsaHawks scheduled home game really nothing to do with Lions .going home to quarantine.

    No he would complain 4 games a year are played in the wet and the dome of death home teams have an advantage.

    So that we don't have to fly to Queensland and then fly again to WA?

    So that we can avoid playing against an opposition's home crowd?

    So that we can play at Marvel, where we're we've won 8 of our last 10?

    Plenty of reasons to think about, at least if you haven't already given up on the season.

    Yes forgot about the trip to WA. Do the sun's have a home crowd of any size? I have to say I have no idea. MY view on where the game is played relates to one thing. If there are no crowds allowed  I don't care where the game is played. I would rather the sun's supporters see a live game than have it in Melbourne in front of no one. If that puts us at a disadvantage so be it.

    What about their cheer squad singing "Nah-nah-nah-nah Nah-nah-nah-nah hey-hey Goodbye" when they defeated Richmond recently that was GOLD.

    Game may be in the NT after all! NT revoking restrictions from midnight tonight!

    You couldn't script that luck.

    As mentioned before I expect our CEO to have negotiated for Melbourne to receive half the proceeds if this game is in Darwin, due to:

    a) Losing our contract for the Alice Springs game in June.

    b) Being the bunnies that have to cop a Darwin game whilst we're in a critical phase of our season.

    • 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.
