At the ground an hour early. Bumped off some pre game beers in Swan St. For a game like this, I do not want to muck around with entry and all that jazz.

Couple of settlers are a must. Doctors orders.

    No, it’s fake news 🙃 Rain hail or shine, I’ll be there - GO DEEs

    ps I’m looking at an App ‘Windy’ that gives me the info I want (for all I know, this could be an app endorsed by Qanon).

    On a half serious note, I have been caught out many times by referring to BOM’s hour to hour forward forecasts when it indicated rain. I think if you read into details, if there is a chance it will spit that will show up as rain. 
    When I look at the Apple hourly forecasts (they obviously use different interpretations of what is ‘rain’ ) quite often it will show it will be dry - and to me more often than not have shown a more accurate or realistic projection 

    Sadly, before I hit ‘send’ I just noted they both forecast rain! So …..I hope Windy is correct but I’m losing confidence.

    On the upside, either way, we will smash them 

    For what it’s worth - after clicking the send button I headed to the car (I live in the SE suburbs) - I got absolutely drenched!

    Im at the G now , obviously has pelted down here also but at the moment , no rain - for the moment.

    Fingers crossed , we may get another shower or two at most (I hope). Ground obviously will be slippery but that shouldn’t bother us- we are going to smash them

    MY concern is purely self vested- I am not under cover

    While he did play against Collingwood again (and lose), I felt this goal provided a great sense of symmetry to Jack's career in hindsight. 

    That was the last time we genuinely stuck it up the barstards. Fingers crossed we can do it again tonight.

    That was a great goal one i will never forget,people dont remeber watts ran back to the other end a took a saving mark

    Another one from the time capsule.

    The stakes were low. The atmosphere middling. The standard of play mediocre.

    But it was all worth it for this.

    To my knowledge, we ended this self indulgent rubbish as this was the last 'Press Red for Ed' match Eddie ever commentated.

    Yep never happened again. I remember this day well because 5 mins after the siren I stepped into a lift with a bunch of Dees fans and there was Eddie. I asked him how the call went and all I got in return was hmmmmpph. I responded with I knew I should have pressed red and got another hmmmmpph.

    Made my day!

    [censored] hate the modern way of selling all the good GA seats as reserved.  They should always leave some decient ones for first in best dressed IMO.

    As MFC members at every other MFC home game this year (been to most) we've been able to sit freely on level on Southern stand - good reward for loyal support of the club NOT!

    Could not agree more. Shirs me to death.

    I have a reserved seat but prefer sitting at the top of the Ponsford. 

    But the GA seats are way, way up in tbe boondocks. Crap view from up there.

    That's real great isn't it.

    People slowly trickling in to the MCG.

    Turns out the trip was definitely worth it. Thanks to a very generous family member I jagged seats in the Demon Seats area.

    Let's get it done Dees!

    They want them in the GF. Against Geelong.

    Block of people beginning to crowd out the top part of the Ponsford- indicates all seats below are reserved- should be a sizeable crowd

    • 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.
