Someone getting their money's worth out of their MCC membership it seems.

That guy is my hero. I love it was caught on TV. I stood and applauded with him.

    Early days but loving the fact they have traded out their first round pick to freo and won't get a consolation prize if their season goes completely belly up.

    Pies got crucified by the umps.
    Free kicks were Saints 30 Pies 15.

    Higgins goal from the 3rd row was a nail into the pies hearts.
     Umps were shocking.  

    Pies were massacred by the umps.

    It was beautiful to watch

    🤣🤣😊😊🤣🤣😊😊

     

    I'm not the guy in the pic but I was also at game in my Melbourne gear, cheering the Saints on.

    Collingwood fans are hilarious and I'm convinced half have no idea what they are watching.

    Also particularly enjoyed when they went the early crow not once but twice with their stupid chant, only for half on them to be on their way out the door a few Saints goals later.

    Re Higgins' goal... looks in to me!  😎

    He was presenting an analogy (I think). 🤷‍♀️  It made no sense at all. I’m sure even he would be puzzled if he watched his presser back.

    As they fall, any pickings from the carcass? Apart from the Daicos brothers who will have to wither on the vine, who would you take, I used to like McStay, but feeling ho hum about him, Moore would never leave, Hill I rate, Quaynor also, but that is about it, everyone else is looking like a dollar special due to age. 

    Yep not much bait there. Maybe Murphy if healthy?

    Considering the last 3 flag winners, we've still been the most consistent one.

    I thought about this but he doesn’t replace May, and I like our guys more. There will be an article about how well we have replaced defenders in last 5 years, Hunt, OMac, Frost, Hibbered, Lovett, Tomlinson when he did his knee, have been replaced by Petty, Bowey, McVee, Rivers, Gus for a period, (Howe, Hore off a very small sample size), and it hasn’t missed a beat. You play in the Men’s department for Melbourne, you are a very serious player, anywhere…Me thinks we could do with more praise for Troy on this fora.

    Pies will miss finals.

    They remind me of Leicester a few years ago when they won the EPL (2016 i think it was). For a season and a half they couldn't lose even though everyone expected the wheels to come off at any moment. The season after their miraculous win they crashed and burned finishing 12th.

    Nup you definitely want Brisbane to win next week.  The pies can have their easter ruined & go 0-4.

    Prelim final?

    You would be a fool to underestimate them. Some great talent coming through and well coached.

    Agreed. They’re definitely underrated and are well in the top 8 mix this year.

    This just in from AFL Headquarters:

    If Collingwood lose to Brisbane next week and to a Jack Ginnivan-led Hawthorn the week after in Gather Round, they will be granted exclusive draft access to Nathan Fyfe's twin boys as compensation.

    If that happens, expect to hear a lot about Collingwood, Owen Fyfe and Norton Fyfe.

    Carlton lost six (seven?) in a row early last season. Everyone wrote them off, said they wouldn’t make finals. Nek minnit…

    Collingwood are so far off it that I’m not sure beating them right now is necessarily a sign that St Kilda are any good.

    Every year st kilda are talked up. they never deliver. they've got some good players in King and Marshall and they are well drilled by Lyon but they are a 6-8 team at best.

    • 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.
