    Don’t know where else to put this. Here’s as good a place as anywhere.

    At Gosch’s right now for the Jimmy Family Fun Walk. The rain has kept many away (hashtag weak as [censored] 😁). Snags in bread and drinks at no cost, still gonna have a truckload of leftovers. My chooks will be thrilled: a month of nothing but snags and bread.  But look who did turn up to do the walk…

    Rainy day Dees

    Everyone’s here except for Chin, *Petts and Kolt.

    *or is he here? I spoke to Jed and I still can’t be sure it wasn’t Petts. 🙃

    PS girls a no-show. Probs all busy getting hair and makeup and spray tans for tonight’s B&F.

    That is a great turnout by the Dees players WCW shame it is such a soggy day out today for you all.

    So is this training report glowing because Picket Fence was in a good mood, or is Picket Fence in a good mood because of the training?

    Saddest turnout ever. 😭 Not exaggerating, there was more players than regular folks. And by regular folks I mean MFC staff (and a couple of Board members). The players didn’t eat so we were left with heaps of leftovers. We wanted to minimise waste as much as possible so we tucked in. Today I discovered something about myself… I can eat six sausages in bread and still walk upright. So there’s that 😃

    Essendon had a training session this morning at their home ground and there was a huge turnout of their supporters despite the rain.

    Mate was there and posted on his instagram story.

    Chandler has a family issue in SA.

    Salem they're going to progressively load because he had a huge off-season conditioning wise. They've told him to taper it back. 

    Hopefully the young fella is ok.

    Saw Salo this morning. He said he copped a broken nose at training the other day. That probs isn’t a reason to ease off on training but it wouldn’t be pleasant 😭

    The Club only found out a fortnight ago that we’d be involved. Initially it was registered walkers only and it wasn’t really widely advertised because there was a cap on the number of walkers. Last night they decided it was now open to all who wanted to do the walk. Clearly not many knew about it, hence the poor attendance.

    I didn’t know it was the first one, T. For sure next year it’ll be bigger. 😊 Although it doesn’t help that it’s in mid-December when people are busy doing Xmas things.

    Seriously picket? She obviously has you all fooled. She’s a deranged fanboy (fan girl?) who gets her jollies from hanging around young athletic men who happen to wear red and blue. All this making banners, cooking sausages and happy snapshots with her “boys” is just a front. I’m actually scared about what she might do next. I am beginning to believe that we might not be seeing Chin again. I think she might have him locked away in her basement. Yeah, she’s not fooling me.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
