Amazing what an academy and father son picks get you !!! 


Still smart recruiting. No second rate scrubbers.  Neale. Cameron. Daniher. Dunkley.  Take note !!!

    Absolutely Oscar McInErnery's energy in the medal presentation.

    Pure goofy, loving joy.

    Suspect that has been a big part of keeping the team upbeat during some rough early times.

    Apparently he was very upbeat all week & didn't moan about his injury or missing out

    Absolutely putrid grand final. Game was worse than the pre-game.

    That was my second life lesson, don’t whine, feel sorry for yourself or give time being negative about something that you can’t change. The Big O’s excitement during and after the game (especially for his replacement) was beautiful.

    11 players played every game. Consistency helps. 

    But they also had the depth to cover for McInerney, Coleman and McCarthy (plus Gardiner and Doedee).

    Fantastic list management and fitness. Not a coincidence.

    For Sydney, when the going got tough they fell apart and you’d think the scars of 2022 has something to do with that. Their tall forwards are barely better than ours and they couldn’t compete aerially against Brisbane’s defence.

    All the more reason to believe that if we get some of sh*t together in terms of game plan (Bassett) is a nice inclusion, then we are right in the thick of it.

    Last 2 premiers aren’t absolutely dominant like we were and other great teams before us. Brisbane are still far from invincible in spite of a flag.

    It's a bad movie on repeat for Sydney.

    The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight superbowls in the 90s, by the time the last one came along the loss seemed a forgone conclusion. Are Sydney too traumatised with this group?

    Well the only logical conclusion from this is that our boys need to have a wild footy trip, and a poorly managed WhatsApp group.

    I thought we had enough of the media bashing us up.

    If ever there was a year to do it, this was it. Such an even season. Top 4 made up of seriously flawed teams.

    You could argue it was the worst top 4 in years

    Watching Brisbane today made me realise how bad our skills are at times.

    Brisbane just run hard for each other and create space, they don't fumble and there forward line is open & they don't get in each other's way.

    Happy the Lions and Fagan but worried about them when they add Ashcroft next year

    They bat so deep. Blokes like Ah Chee are their 10-15th best player and is so skilled

    Could be the case if they lose another one within the next few seasons. But at the moment, I put it down to a lack of experience on the MCG and larger grounds in general. They also have a heap of flashy type players that play for themselves.

    Four lost GFs in a row

    How do you even rock up to preseason?

    Fans must be in pieces. But they only have themselves to blame

    Blokes like Heeney Warner Gulden completely choked on the big stage

    Going out in straight sets for us two years in a row.

    Yep.

    At least we made a fist of it.

    And came very close despite injuries at umps.

    Swans have no excuse.

    The most lackluster effort in a granny by any club for eons.

    In it for twenty minutes then went to sleep.

    Going to haunt them until they lose another.

    • 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.
