Captain’s run this morning. I’m going pretty much just to congratulate Melks. LOL, like I wouldn’t be going there otherwise. l’ll take vids and pics so y’all can see the happi-haps and I don’t have to concentrate, which is best for all involved since I have the attention span of a moth. 😁

    Mission already accomplished! I got to congratulate Melks and we had a big ol’ bear hug and he thanked me for supporting him all the way through. But…

    Before that I walked to the tent with Goody. I thanked him for bringing Melks straight in. I told him there’s many online who think he should’ve come through Casey, and that Goody’s (yet again) bringing a player in too early when he’s not ready. Goody said, “You know he’s ready!” I said, “Yeah but these folks are ‘experts’” he said, “But they’re not here every week, are they?”

    Yeah Goody!!!!

    You really do deserve praise for your commitment to the club and the players.

    Very few attend as much as you do and imo it gives you every right to voice your opinions on all things to do with the club and maintain your strong defence of everything MFC.

    You go girl.

    I also told Selwyn what a great job he’s done with getting Melks up. He quickly pointed out the two guys standing with him and said it was all their work. Apparently Selwyn devised the plan but these guys were the ones who were with Melks all the way through. One of them (Tom) said, “It was hardly work since Melky made it so easy. He’s been all in since the beginning.”

    LOL at the end of the session almost everyone had left but Clarrie was in the tent knocking the mud off his boots. I ran into the tent and said, “I’m in the protected zone! I suppose that’s 50” He said, “[censored] that, you can come in here anytime.” We laughed and hugged and I swear to god that boy is happier than I’ve ever seen him. He has an infectious laugh, and it instantly makes you feel like 🎶 Everything Is Awesome 🎶

    In contrast, Bowser looked dejected. He seemed down in the mouth. He walked from the rooms to the oval by himself slowly and with his head down and I heard a little kid ask his dad, “Why does Bowey look so sad?” 😢

    I did but he said he’s afraid he’s not the right guy.

     

     

    Of course, he said it with a heavy heart 🙄

    Definitely Tommo and Cream (Fullarton) were there. Didn’t notice Bill but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t there.

    The above videos capture everyone who was there (I hope).

    Greetings, fellow traveller of the backroads of google!

    Moths are amazing and grossly underappreciated.

    Back living in Canberra I'd go wandering on the hills, sometimes at night, and one of the most vivid visual memories I have is coming back past the War Memorial and one side of it having a curtain of bogong moths on the bare wall. Must have been about 2m vertically and five or six wide. Every soft movement of wind causes the whole curtain to ripple and rustle and shift colours in the dimmed floodlights facing the building. A completely hypnotic moment.

    You’re a poet Goffy, I feel as though I was with you.

    No NC. He spotted bogongs not bogans. There’s a difference. 🙃

    On the subject, moths are gross. They sleep in your garments on the clothesline then when you unwittingly disturb them they fly out and land on the nearest surface and refuse to budge. And they leave that brown silt-like dust everywhere. Yuck. Worse still is when one holds out in your garment and you don’t discover it ‘til the first time you sit down that day and you feel ‘movement’ just above your kneecap and you look down and there’s a wriggling bulge under the fabric of your really cool flares and to your shock and horror you realise one has hitched a ride and is still alive but you’re in a courtroom on jury duty and can’t do a thing about it *shudder*

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
