Taking my wife who doesn’t care about football for the first time to today’s game. She asked me if they will play Country Road on the PA system.

    It automatically opens to ..... err "contact sports"... of a somewhat different nature.

    They even had the nerve to name one of the companies after yours truly, “Redtube”. I should sue, but I don’t trust lawyers.

    Melbourne need to keep the ball out of eagles forward half otherwise the 4 feral umpires could  slow us down. Are they WA based umpires?

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

    In my day that was the name of my favourite pink sports newspaper.

    I would buy fish and chips on the way home from the game and eat them while reading the fabulous, just printed, pink Sporting Globe.

    Ah the wonderful memories.

    They might if umpires give Charlie a free close to goal, despite the fact he isn’t playing, or even in the State.

    I'm feeling a little uneasy about today's game for some reason. Maybe it's all the talk of a 100+ point win which is making me uncomfortable or it could just be caffeine overload, which I can counteract with a bowl of pho and a beer thankfully. 

    Let's just try and keep the oppo to a low score today and avoid any injuries. Enjoy the day everyone.

    I’m adjusting for ‘workman’ like win. 
    It’ll be heaven and hell at the top of the ladder 👍

    For some reason we never seem to put the pedal down when we have a comfortable margin. Maybe just the modern game and not wanting to burn out players, but then there is also the ever important % to consider. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    Id like to see Kozzie kick a bag.

    Garry Lyon 94 SF v Footscray? Neitz kicked 9 a couple of times I think (and Farmer vs Pies) but no double figures since Gazza.

    We've had some big wins, particularly in 2018. I'd like to see a ruthless edge too but if we get a handy early lead, cruise and then pike on a few late ones to win by 40+ I won't complain. Just get the win (no injuries/reports of course) and worry about the rest afterwards.

    Farmer kicked 9 in the second half (41 mins to be exact) against the pies in 2000 after being singled out by Daniher for his poor first half

    If you played a good game in the u/17 in suburban footy you might even get a mention in the Sporting Globe 

    Only happened to me once but still remember it 50 years on

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
