    Now if 'Kiss' isn't incentive enough to get to big dance, I don't know what is. 🤟

    I saw Kiss last year (got a free ticket and only went to honour the memory of me when I was six). 

    I can tell you from experience that this band really needs a lot of explosions and a very dark arena to pull the whole thing off. 

    Going by the weather trends this year, I have a feeling the GF will be a warm one. Get ready for lots of high-definition  close-ups of some 70+ year-old dudes with black and white streaks melting down their faces, and with nary an explosion to hide behind. Could be “Meatloaf:The Sequel”. 

    (Mind you, I get a real thrill out of watching disastrous live performances, and thoroughly enjoyed Meatloaf’s set that year)

    Collingwood’s strong last quarters were viewed as a positive throughout the season.

    But it’s less than ideal to be habitually behind at 3/4 time. They won’t want to come that caper with us.

    This is the most bizarre stat…

    collingwood haven’t played in the rain in any of their 23 games this year.  

    Melbourne have played 6 games in the wet.

    How can a side go all year and avoid the rain? 

    in any case, Thursday night might be the first time all year collingwood have played with a greasy football.

    Definitely due a warm GF this year.

    2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 were all either 14 or 15 degrees in Melbourne. (Even the 2021 GF day was a cool day in Melbourne if memory serves...)

    We only had one wet game last year, Vs Freo at Optus.

    Yeah nah, can’t see the Club signing off on that. Waaaay too inflammatory for the delicate sensibilities of your average Dees supporter. “Be afraid, be very afraid”  (last week’s banner) is about as menacing as we’d get. Cut to 8pm tonight and I’m posting sneak peeks of this week’s banner which says “And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead” 🤣

    *That’s the name of a band so there’d be copyright issues, for one. 

    Shame, it's got a nice ring to it.

    Absolutely hammered down in Halls Gap in the morning ... not that has a baring on the climate at the MCG, but it is west, I suppose.

    The train hurts us becuase it negates the impact of our most impactful player - maxy.

    Hopefully Max isn't catching the train to the game.

    So are you less worried now if it rains? Surely our vast experience counts for something.

    I read with interest in this morning's Age that Pendelbury was sprucing that the Collingwood unwashed faithful will make the MCG their Colosseum, presumably with the noise they make. We matched them on Kings Birthday for noise so lets make sure the boys hear us and make the MCG the Collywobbles "living hell".

    They have also been used to playing cox and Cameron and this will hurt them.

     

    Really good point.

    Maxy has less impacting the wet because he cant clunk his marks, and his ability to take contested marks around the ground is what makes him such a difference maker. 

    But taking thta strength away just means he has less impact - he still remains a brilliant athlete who can win his own ball and of course ruck brilliantly. 

    Cox and Cameron and average players in comparison to maxy. Neither have maxy's athleticism or ruck craft.

    And they won't be able to mark either - and without clunking marks both are bog ordinary players.

    Are you sure? I think their win against Port in Adelaide it rained or at least seemed like a slippery game.

    Why Kiss FFS?? There are literally  100’s of Australian Bands I’d prefer to see. The AFL are lucky the product is so good otherwise it’d be bust.

    Similarly, Darcey Moore said during an interview on the weekend that he thinks their 19th man will get them over the line on Thursday, their 19th man being the Magpie Army. Pfft, their 19th man’s got nothin’ on ours. Did he not hear our 19th man drowning out their 19th man on KB???

    The person who gave you the free ticket… I would’ve paid them to take it back.

    • 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.
