Did we all enjoy Augie March playing during the pregame? They’re arguably the most underrated Australian band ever. I guess they had to sing I was only 19 as it’s fitting, but their original music is quite something else. 

They sure are, I thought it was Redgum.

    I’d say it was 2:1 Dees to Tigers. The Melbourne supporters came, and they really brought the noise. The booing at the umpiring early was only out done by the cheering in the last.

    I thought we sounded great last night. Was a really proud night for the footy club and it’s supporters.

    Thanks that. That's a great effort and very surprising.  Couldn't tell by the noise on telly though except for the Roo cheer.

    I reckon the bombers are a real show. 

    I suspect they will look to go even more high octane than the pies.

    Dangerous because fast is in the pies' wheelhouse. 

    But they are coming off two very physical games, including having to travel to the gabba and play in humidity. 

    And their game last week against the saints was brutal.

    Added to that they have some big outs, including their best two rucks - giving the bombers an edge for talls.

    Something we can learn from Collingwood (and how it pains me to admit) is that we can embrace "ugly" footy. They move the ball forward at all cost, no matter if they kick, hand ball, slap the ball, dribble... Just relentless desire to gain territory.

    Preferred our pregame to what they had today.

    Our pregame is the story every year now. We’ve basically stolen the Anzac Day narrative in the media with a much better spectacle.

    Yeah, the darkness and the fire make it extra poignant.

    Go Weids !

    Don’t like both teams but can’t stand Collingwood so hoping for a bag for Weids & an Essendon win.

    Ugh, watching two teams you hate so you “barrack” for the one who you hate less but you forget and you laugh when they mess up then you remember you’re supposed to be barracking for them. It’s exhausting.

    Impressive by the Bombers so far.

    Collingwood struggling to move the ball quickly.

    No way it was round the neck

    They missed an earlier one over the shoulder so a bit of an evener upper

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
