Preparation… ?!?!?!!!?!

Simon Goodwin will coach the Dees versus the GWS Giants on Saturday night despite spending the past three nights in hospital.

Goodwin copped an infection at the start of the week that required an intermittent IV drip.

He was part of team meetings via Zoom during the week and discharged on Saturday morning.

Can't question the bloke's commitment.

    No, not dead, he won't get fined by the police, but the AFL Commish own the game and they set the rules, of which the players have agreed to and signed off on

    Sounds like a gag order to me 

    I hope we can do so much better in Australia 

    TMac is still in tracksuit top talking to staff on the sidelines during the warmup?

    Yep .

    Not a fan of number 20 either         ( Nichols).

    Yeah, nah.

    Not 20

    Definitely not 22.

    Or 35, or 14,

    Not overly fond of 25 or 19 either 

    There must be one that’s okay?

    Maybe? 
    Can anyone think of one?

    Ivo Crapp was a much better umpire than his surname would suggest.

    Lady at the gate said they’re expecting 23,000. I think they overestimated by 20,000.

    I'd say so, almost feel like I have to ask someone for a key to get in.

    Embarrassing turnout. It’s not even raining. 
    Really poor. Don’t complain when we get 4.40 Sunday games all year.

    Ridiculous huh. They’ve made him delete the comments. Truth hurts, clearly. 

    Absolutely. 
    He should’ve stuck to his guns. 
    There is more than enough evidence to support his claim.

    I understand keeping a lid on the umpire criticism, but The Corporation should not be immune from criticism.
    They are not the CCP.

    The giants song is pretty catchy

    Makes me think of a Disney / Pixar animated movie about big-footed little people. Maybe like in Frozen - those rock people. 

    GWS song is a bop. I’ll hear nothing bad about it.

    Apparently Angus from Cat Empire wrote it. Quality.

    It really is a pitiful crowd. I reckon North might have got more down in Hobart today.

    Very much so, one of the more robust tunes.

    Gee just read goody was in hospital for 3 days. Gee that's no good.

    Anyway at least the rain has cleared for now.

    Robbo is going to have a tough night getting the crowd going

    • 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.
