What a journey this has been. Some things are just so far above footy. Having said that, I am so proud that the whole football community gets behind such causes as this. 
Love to be around the day when they say ‘fight MND’ will no longer be a King’s birthday ‘event’…. because a cure has been found.

    Can we start a crowd funding page to buy @AzzKikA a pair of scissors?  :D

    Only if the crowd funding page specifies them as 24 carat gold!

    I do cut it off but it always ends up unraveling.

    And no, I don't need a crowd funding page for a needle and thread for Mrs KikA to mend it.

    What, you’ve got no functioning hands? Mend it yourself! It’s 2023 not 1953. 😁

    At what age were your sons when you taught them to sew WCW?

    We’ve never lived on a farm, NC. 😜

    As for sewing, I don’t think anyone in their generation ever mends clothing, they just buy new stuff.

    Are they still doing a walk to the G? Will definitely take part if they are.

    They certainly are. Also, the obligatory Demon Army BBQ will be set up in Fed. Square a couple of hours before the walk starts.

    At so if your son did want something mended you'd tell him to buy a new one or sew it himself then huh?

    Hot tip. Don't cut it off, untie it.

    The pom pom would be actually looped on as both the pom pom and beanie are a fully fashion knit, hence no stitching is used. If you cut it, you will inevitably cut the knit itself which will unravel the whole thing.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

    They wouldn’t even bother asking me to mend anything. They know what the answer would be. I watched my mum darn my dad’s socks as a kid… mending ain’t happening at mine. No-sir-ee 🙃

    It is amazing how long Neil has lasted with this horrible disease. He must be one of the longest I have heard of. I know of another sufferer who lasted just 21 months.

    This game is going to be massive!

    & it's really got everything - From Neale & all things MND, Grundy v Pies. Every chance of a 1 v 2 & a Dees home game too.

    Besides 1958, when was the last time we cracked 90k for a H&A game? We'll get passed that this year, surely?

    I was so looking forward to attending this game, however I have an emergency travel overseas to see my family in June. Oh well will try to somehow watch it live (does anyone know about a trusty VPN).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
