I'll be watching the match at The Sporting Globe in Richmond. Anyone else going there?

Ordinarily I would be, Bingers (like last year) but today I’ll be watching at the London in Richmond coz a Dees friend is celebrating his birthday there.

T Mac and Sparrow better have great games to justify inclusion

JJ was in the top 6 last week and Sparrow in the bottom 6

I'm not convinced TMac is fit enough at the moment and may be terminally injured

Boy, you’re just a big ol’ bundle of joy, aren’t you.

Happy Easter!

If computer is connected to the tv the Casey game will also be on the big screen.

What time is the Casey game @Lucifers Hero?

Hopefully we can build on last week's fine performance. Chandler, McVee and JVR to continue to find their feet and improve. Would be great if TMac could a snag a couple to help his confidence.

And if we get the scent of blood in the water, I want us to ruthlessly crush the Eagles. No mercy. They wouldn't spare us if the shoe was on the other foot.

Well if we are serious we should win & win well.

West coast have so many injuries it's not funny but I hope these players don't go into the game thinking we'll coast to victory.

Go boys put in a show

Yeah this is my fear, a team full of fringe players can be a so unpredictable.

Starts 2.05 pm


Just went to the Romsey Market to get a coffee and on impulse ( cold day etc) purchased 2 jam doughnuts.

Upon return to The Manor, I discovered that neither "jam" doughnut contained any jam!!!!

I hope that's not some sort of portent for bad luck today!

We had a team of fringe players for 10 years and it didn’t work for us. Sadly we were very predictable.

Are you contacting your slew of lawyers on retainer? I'm guessing you still ate all the evidence. ( or lack of).

Was just about to post the same thing Azz. Having said that I have put Kossie to have 20plus disposals and kick two goals into my same game multi.

I'd rather a scoreline along the lines of 40.10.250 to 7.6.48 myself.

I'm hoping @Redleg will act on my behalf - pro bono  of course.

You left out watching Casey on the manor computer before the main event.

Time to open the spindle on the Shiraz de Wine Cask 2023 to enjoy while watching the 2 games.

Maybe even defrost the party pies and make a real celebration of the day.

its on channel 7

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
