In a welcome development, the radar says no rain today and humidity at comfortable levels 

The radar is drunk. ☔️ 🌧 💦 

 

Hawks & Mitchell will wants an early scalp to keep the wolves at bay. They’ll be up for this game and we need to be too.

Hit them hard early, or their belief will grow. Belief and doubt are infectious amongst youth, so snuff out their belief and play hard and tough football to lessen their appetite.

    This is just the kind of game we are notorious for losing. 

    I'm nervous

    Looking at your Exorcist Avatar Hatchman makes me more nervous, one of the great movies of all time, particularly the green 🤮 Relax, mate we got this !!

    I would like to see us destroy Hawthorn today. They are a very average football team.

    Agree with you.

    Let's see if we have changed this season in the way we deal with teams when going in as the favoured, to win team.

    Ruthless has always been a catch cry we throw about. Today is the time for ruthlessness to be expressed and some classy footy played.

    Last thing I want to see is us being dragged down to a lesser level of play. If the Hawks play well, then our engine room has to purr/fire and we will be in for an entertaining game.

    Sparrow to bring 'it', Salem to set 'it' up, Fritsch to kick straight, and our top flight to maintain the tempo/momentum. 

    Go Dees!

    Amazing that they are offering replacement buses during Grand Prix weekend. Standard.


    I'm one of the ones who think that Petty is fine to have in but the chap i would like in   to really  mix up our forward line is Melksham.

    I guess that leaves???? The Heartbreaker!

    I agree with you Picko but hope we are  both wrong


    Has anyone noticed that when you watch Foxtel footy in 4K, it’s a slightly better picture than HD, but the sound is out of sync with the picture?

    Defence need to pay the Hawks forwards one-on-one respect today imo.  Lewis, Nash, Breust and to extent Ginnivan are no slouches. Watson is an unknown but I haven't forgotten Rankine getting off the chain in his first game against us. Chol will prolly play a defensive role on Lever.

    Me too.

    Have known so many cocky Hawthorn supporters over my lifetime who just loved sticking the knives in when we were at our lowest.

    Every sweet win over Hawthorn makes those times disappear just a little more

    I'm going today. Gonna try and sneak into the Hawthorn reserved seat area on lev 2 Northern stand. I want to bait a few suffering wee and poos

    • 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.
