Made the trip into Gosch’s after checking the website this morning - even now it still says it’s on at Gosch’s.  
Very easy thing for the club to fix.

    Poor effort. You could still have written:

    • beautiful day for training here at Gosch's
    • the temporary scoreboard is up, or not up, as the case maybe 
    • no sign of Max Gawn
    • couldn't see any smile on Kozzy - presume that means he must be leaving at the end of the year

    Lack of information coming from the club is becoming endemic again. Website still has last year’s membership tally posted, with no updates. Why post training times at all if it isn’t current.?

    Bring back Ben Gibson.

    Still don't have updated player pictures or profiles on the website. Over three months since Kyah Farris-White joined the club, and nobody can take a photo of the kid on their phone?

    15 or so people here. Including 3 kids under 5. 

    Imagine hating your fans as much as the Melbourne football club

    Jesus christ what a [censored] show by the club, especially if supporters have already turned up.

    I’ve got my Melbourne shorts on and will be kicking the footy around with my son at Goschs shortly if anyone wants to report on me. Took the day off for this too. Go dees.

    Apart from a 2 minute interview with Jefferson there’s been nothing with any of the draftees have they? Not even sure most of them can speak

    This is historically true.

    That would be very annoying TPF39 and Demonland, as mentioned how hard is it to update a website to assist us supporters particularly those that provide such great training threads.!!!

    Plenty of hilarious videos about Gawn and Grundy being in love though…

    Unbelievable, I just drove from Balnarring to Carrum station with my 4 year old boy and made our way into to Richmond for nothing. He's shattered & I'm fuming.

    I’ve just ridden in from Parkdale. Not impressed - a lovely ride though!

    The MFC media department has always been a snore fest until Benny Gibson came along and actually made it relevant worthy.

    Good to see it's gone back to its original graveyard existences.

    I have travelled from Ballarat..this is becoming totally unacceptable…This has been going on for years now…I took the matter up around 12+years ago…when Leigh Newton was there and nearly got barred for it…maybe an issue to take up with at the GM .or write to Pert.

    I'm going to contact the club  it's  just not good enough. I spent money on putting my daughter into before school care specifically so we could get into town early, then paid for an adult & child to travel from Carrum to Richmond and back, Petrol money from Balnarring to Carrum, 4 hours of wasted time. I'll be asking for a decent voucher from the Demon Shop.

    This really is very disappointing. I understand last minute changes, but it's not like they didn't know early enough to inform the players. If they can inform the players they can surely post a message on social media at the same time.

    There are literally a million 20 something year olds who are dominating social media right now.
    How hard would it be to hire someone to really get that side of the club up and running properly? Hell I am sure you could find some mad Dees fans who would even do it on the cheap or in return for some inside access to the club.

    Disappointment at the paddock.

    A few with kids and prams, some of the brain trust, a man who hobbled across from the Yarra using two walking sticks. Got there and ask some others what they thought. They said " we rang the club and were told, the training was still on". Many of us waited another 45 minutes, till it dawned on us.

    Anyway, had a walk on the paddock. The surface is quite cut up and feels firm under foot. Looks great from a distance. They need someone to fill in a few divots with some sand.

    Wandered over to the glasshouse. Collingwood have a great set up.

    They were moving the ball with a switch from the defensive boundary, with leads down the rails and a lead into, and with angles to a forward.

    We seem to be training with our mind on competing, they are doing the fast ball and player movement, using the angles to open up the spaces.

    Addit: Storms training, so not a complete loss.

    Had a chat to a groundsman, he tells me there are two type of grasses growing on the paddock and they are waiting for the second type to take hold. That type will make it more spongy. They don't have enough staff to do the finer parts to turf care.

    • 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.
