You should know if you are.

Or perhaps posters mean, “if I were Simon Goodwin”, etc.

How about we pay at least some attention to grammar?

Call me a pedant if you wish, but I find it annoying.

your are a pedant

    I’ve a question…

    So, Fritta’s been named as an emergency meaning he has to be at the ‘G for the firsts, right?

    He’s been told he’s in the Casey side playing at Casey Fields in a match that starts at 11:05am tomorrow.

    Yesterday morning when he was told he’s been dropped he was told he’d be playing a half at Casey.

    Does this mean he’ll leave Casey Fields at halftime and head to the ‘G before the start of the seniors match?

    If so, is that something that happens regularly?

    That’s actually three questions, but what’s an extra couple o’ questions between friends?

    Four questions now. 😅

    If Fritta has his usual first half performance of 2 touches he won't be too tired at least

    Thanks. Your post tell me we’re getting back to business as normal here after a bitter week of cannibalism and mutiliation. :-)

    No comma after ‘like’ but one after ‘mean’.

    You are out of control.

    turner, adams oh wait goodwin is useless

    people really give petty a hard time around here but don't realise the coaches have absolutely throw him in the deep end after putting him up forward for a season and now he is our starting fb vs freo, hope he does okay tmr his performance is 100% on the coaches

    Every chance Adams is a late in. Think it has to be done this way.


    So Petty takes Treacy, but who plays on Amiss? Are we expecting Adams to be a late in? Or Turner to play back, leaving Fullarton on MFC debut to lead our forward line with no JVR or Fritsch to help?

    Good to see the ace bring swung but not instilled with faith in some of the replacements.

    I think if we lose this , Goody definitely won't be coaching the MFC much longer for sure.

    But I think we actually have this one.

    Yeah, if we give Freo the time and space (read: lack of pressure) we gave Essendon, it’s a 15+ goal loss guaranteed. Freo have considerably more dangerous players than the dons.

    Over to you Dees! Harass the living [censored] out of em

    Why not try Adam’s, Howes will get smashed, this could get ugly quickly

    Alert, if you are coming in by train and are on the PAKENHAM or CRANBOURNE line guess what?? Yep as per usual Buses Replace trains from sections. Why does this keep occuring???

    Can't you get an express bus to city then walk to G?

    Just now, bush demon said:

    Or express bus to Southern Cross then train to Jolimont.

    Howes had a great game in the 2s last week but neither him or TMAC have the strength to tackle with Amiss or Tracey.

    Either way it's pressure or bust.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
