    Don't the tigers like to play at Holm Park in Beaconsfield for some practice games ? Just a lazy 4 minute drive from home😊

    They played the Hawks there in 2016 for a praccy match but can't recall any others.

    Wouldn't mind a game out there myself.

    I wonder if Stkilda will flick on the sprinklers and turn Moorabbin into a mud heap for us.

    Just like the good ol' days.

    Even more amusing is that one Melbourne club (I think it's Essendon) are likely to play the Gold Coast in a scratch match in Queensland. So much for all the hoo-hah about the tiring effects of interstate travel and how unfair it is that some clubs travel more than others in the season proper.

    Apparently (not confirmed) the practice match is going to be Thursday 23 Feb or Friday 24 Feb for anyone looking to wag work.

    Dont have to wag.... Semi or fully retired depending on volition, I'll be there!

    Going on past form in the Girls finals they did care two hoots about how many got in. 

    That  game was limited by ticketing deliberately. So they did "limit" the numbers of the crowd to the allowed space for spectators.

    Don't think we've had a game at Coburg since they remodelled the outer side of the ground. It certainly was a lovely venue not to mention convenient

    Played cricket there on Cup Day in 1967, recall Pentridge hovering to the north, the stench of Ryan's hanging still in the air.

    Ronald Ryan was executed in February 1967.  His remains are buried in my home town of Portland.

    Yes of course, the crime was committed in 65.

    Imagine the meltdown on here if we were to lose to Woodville-West Torrens

    With Kossie BOG and walking off the ground with the SA side before getting tapped on the shoulder and then half heartedly jogging back to the MFC boys.

    Back in the 70's it could be scary.... 

    One of my favorite memories of childhood is rounding the corner at the top of the hill heading home to Port. That glimpse of Tower Hill on the right and then away across Killarney and pines of Port in the distance. Goosebumps just thinking about it....

    My mother tells the story of being a trainee teacher in Portland and discussing the life and death of Ronald Ryan with a class. One student chooses to excuse herself from the room for the remainder of the class. Turns out she was the daughter of Ronald under a different name...

    One of the richest soils in the country, apparently.... You can see the before and after the Tower Hill eruption in the walls of a midden somewhere near Levy's point if I remember correctly.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
