PF   please be known, I once upon a time many years ago knew Dave Kelly, a nice enough bloke to know. No idea how good or bad as a footballer.  Very tall bloke but I never saw him play football or get angry.  Good enough to get on the list, so far beyond my dreams, but maybe did not get angry on the field.  (around 1985 ?) 

This is our year, grab it by the throught.

    I’m standing in front of “this year” ready to grab it - but I can’t find its “throught”. Help me please.

    Spelling never was my go, arithmetic and number logical progression now that’s a piece of [censored], or was.

    Was it a missing Ay?

    To grab by the throught: Is to grab another's thought before it exits his throat.

    There looks to be some positive signs around Adams this pre season is he a round 1 chance? 

    Adams' apples?

     

    p.s. Yep. Though leads to discussion about whose place he takes...

    While they're all at you, 640, forgive me for looking forward to later in the season, when the heat becomes colder.

     

    Is that your boot I feel as we see myself out?

    The club hasn't posted any info about training times this week.

    https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times

     My guess

    Sunday the 16th March, we play. So, a Captain's run the day before, Saturday at Gosch's, probably starting around 9.30 am. Main training at Casey on Thursday 13th, 10.00 am. Recovery run, Tuesday 11th, at Gosch's 9.30 am.

    Is there really a spot for Langford in the AFL side ? If we run with JVR Disco and Johnson, can’t really have another big 192 cm player plonked in the forward line, he would have to be getting midfield minutes. Curious to see how this plays out through the season 

    AJ appears to have done more than Disco in the pre Season. Reckon he gets the nod

    Great point re: Turner capable of playing back.

    As Hawthorn have shown with Sicily, versatility in-game is key and the likes of Petty and Disco can be switched either end in game.

    yes i can imagine if both are down an immediate swap could take place. sometimes Petty takes the ruckman though which Turner might struggle with. 

    I think Turner and Jefferson have to use their wheels more as both have some pace.

    Apologies in advance @Roost it far she had to leave at halftime. But she rang me from her car and said what she saw today would make any Dees fan very excited. Normally levelheaded and staid, she was so excited she took a wrong exit off the highway. THAT’S how excited we should be 😅

    She said at halftime the teams split up into two teams each and played against each other (half a side vs half a side). 

    Petty in both teams???  How did he manage that?

    This is what happens when a ghostwriter uses a ghostwriter. Or…

    Petts did play in both, one in defence and one up forward. 😝

    • 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.
