Just got back from training.  Excellent news - Paxy took part in full training and seemed fine. 🤩  Hopefully she'll stay that way! Maddie Gay and Aimee Mackin started apart from the main group, t

It’s not just “elsewhere” that they chose. It’s Ikon. And to say they’ve turned their back on their own home ground is a little melodramatic. Up until today we’ve never lost at Ikon. The amenities at

Surely on a Sunday afternoon at Ikon for $10 a ticket (kids go free) we’ll pull a big crowd.

That's a bit rude WCW !

You bastardised my post! I said “I smell a BBQ 😂”  Had I said, “I smell a BBO” I would’ve chosen a different emoji, this one… 💩

No game on Friday night. Probably because RDB’s memorial service is on Friday. 

AFL really have nothing to do with that unless you feel it is a respect issue for the Club.

That could have featured another game if they wanted to.

State Govt and the Barassi family organised the date arrangements for the Memorial service on Friday.

You think for even a second they wouldn’t have a final on TV on a Friday night? Of course they would!

It actually is out of respect that there’s no matches scheduled for Friday night.

And I wouldn’t say the AFL has nothing to do with it. Ron was a lifetime AFL member and a champion of the VFL/AFL, the inaugural Hall of Fame inductee. Of course the AFL has something to do with it!

I've got my ticket!

This game is anxiety central. Like others, I feel that North is really on the brink of breaking through right now. We need a big effort. Soft fixture or otherwise, everything resets now and nothing is guaranteed, for us or anyone else. Hopefully we'll have the crowd behind us like we did last game against them. Every bit counts!

Yep, have to say I'll really be pleased if we win on Sunday.  Who plays will be important but I think fate might be against us.

I’m actually super confident about Sunday. At Ikon (our home away from home), clement weather predicted (20 degrees with slight chance of rain) in front of what’s expected to be a good-sized crowd and vs North, who I feel we’ll comfortably beat. Bring it on!!!

I wish I could be so optimistic.  You have my admiration. 😁

It would be nice to see some of our M players there to support the girls. I realise they’re still on their break and some of them are away on holidays but even just a couple of them attending would be great. Would mean a lot to the players, I’m sure.

He sure will be. And we’ll likely not even spot him. I’ve noticed at training and warmups etc. when he leaves the field he walks amongst the players and keeps his head down. He knows it’s not about him. Such an incredible person.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
