The idea for the ANZAC Eve fixture was originally floated by Kevin Sheedy when he was playing at Richmond, even though night time footy wasn't a thing back then. But being the visionary without peer he his he knew floodlights would only be a matter of time....
Didn't he invent light? I'm pretty sure he did, just after he'd finish creating Aborigines.

This is emphatic.

Melbourne's players hate Goodwin because he's a prick of a human and they aren't playing for him.
And they've trebled down on it by having McCartney and Todd Viney in support.
Obviously a very unhappy playing group and I reckon a few of their better players could be gettable for trade.

Sounds like exactly the sort of player the rookie draft was made for. High risk high reward. Meanwhile we picked up a 177cm marking forward and redrafted a 21 year old who's been the worst player on our list three years running.
He would have looked good out there running around with Rozee, Butters and Duursma. #notgreedy ;)

After they got smashed by us, Goodwin stupidly had his players do extra fitness work for 30 minutes in their training session.

I said at the time he was going to cook his players because if they aren’t fit in R1, doing extra work is just going to make it worse.

They’ve got completely the wrong list composition - too much focus on hard ball and the primary contest when ground ball and the secondary contest is where games are won.

You know who they could use? Jack Watts.

Simon Goodwin is a tactical *******. I wish I’d run him over that day he jaywalked in front of my car.

But you'd be on trial for murdering and not here with us.

We’ve already got a player with a troubled family history in Powell-Pepper. This club isn’t equipped to deal with two of them.

I love Garry Lyon talking up Richmond’s forward half intercepts and the like as if Melbourne are actually good. 47 forward half intercepts! 5 better than anyone else in the comp!

Meanwhile, Port Adelaide had 42 forward half intercepts against the reigning premiers at their own stadium, not the worst team in the competition that sits at the bottom of the ladder.

Eat the impacted shit from a dementia patient, Lyon. Your team is back where it belongs.
