You know what grinds my gears. HOw much the media was going to town on Oliver when he was in the pits, going through god knows what. Now that he has gotten through his 2nd game and is hopefully on the way back to the best version of himself, not a peep. No good story. Perhaps it is a little premature, but what about a little positive reinforcement from the industry to let him know that we are all happy to see him on the mend. 

It's a cesspool

    I’m delighted for Matty. He’s such a sweet kid, I love him. I know I say that about all the young kids but I have a soft spot for Matty since he helped me at the KB BBQ last year - and because we share the same birthday, a few years apart of course. Don’t anyone say a word! 😡

    thats so nice even though you were born in different centuries

    Has Oliver ever played in a reserves/seconds game before? (Not counting last week's "match simulation") 

    His first season he definitely did. Since then I would say no.

    It is embarrassing to find nothing about the Casey v Carlton practice game today on the MFC website.

    In contrast on the CFC website there is a report and a video of the Carlton highlights including all 9 of their goals.

    File under sad, but i'm about to watch the blues highlights. 

    It might knock some of my natural optimism out of me.

    The Blues highlights are very well vetted, shows absolutely nothing good that the Casey/Melbourne players did.

    The blues smashed us. We barely got a touch. Took one mark in 4 mins of highlights - and it was taken of us!

    Yep, good pick up. Technically Jack is not in the bull category he is in the full on raging bull category lol.

    With 4 bulls who all can play to a high level...... no ceiling.

    Problem is the way the game is now being played, and where I see it going with concussion issues, bulls won't be as important.

    It's now more about speed and kicking skills than anything else. Contested possessions aren't as important as they once were.

    No surprise Carlton has better match coverage, it’s their home ground. Hope they share some footage at some point, would be good to at least see the goals. Main thing is: no injuries, no worries.

    Haha - The name puttanesca is derived from the Italian word for “prostitute,” puttana. The dish was originally created as a quick and easy meal for the working women of Naples,

    Hoping someone has a better memory than me, but in recent years, in our last practice match, did we only play a four-man interchange plus sub, regardless of the extended bench allowed by the AFL? I vaguely recall the three extra players (or however many it was, never got on the ground and were only there in case of injury. If so, I hope that's not the case tonight with the temperature 🥵. Can anyone enlighten?

    If the Kolt only played a half, he may get a run!

    Just got to wrangle that AFL media accreditation Andy. 

    Not hard 2 do at ALL

    Loving the overall positivity from the DL’ers today… very very nice to see! Some really positive signs, thanks Andy for helping get us info and pics etc — love your work as always!

    — Love that Kolt was up and about, pulled at HT so we’ll see him tonight!
     

    — I think Fullarton rucking all game is a HUGE footnote personally… terrific signs! Could be a R1 Smoky now for sure given fwd woes and McAdam 80% likely to miss.. 

     

    — SURELY Clarry plays now, it’d be counterproductive to hold him back now and likely a slight kick in guts. I’d have him 85% likely at present since he says he’s pulled-up well.
     

    — Seston dobbing 3 is another lovely song, kid can finish & I think he might be a player if he can cont to build an AFL tank & physique, he is def closing in on both!!! We need all the natural kickers & finishers we can get…

    — Wrapped for Jeffo, have been a keen observer of his since pre-draft and think with Petty (if he stays), JVR & MJ we’re building a really unique, dynamic set of Key Fwds to them have mids and smalls play off of. Each brings something very different, JVR the leading, aerobic, natural talent, Petty the crafty strong hands with high IQ & Jeffo the mark at highest-point, Bean-pole with some panache & flair!!!

     

    — TMAC an important depth defender 

    — Hore a natural fitting smart defender who adds something different & plays tall/small

     

    — AMW cont to grow that 1-3% a week towards being an AFL player. Confident he’ll get there  and AGAIN is something different in his skill set, style & make-up to what we have in the smalls dept

    • 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.
