Amidst the carnage, Melbourne's first 2008 award-winner has been decided today. Brad Miller has taken home the Dees' goalkicking award, with a grand total of 26 for the year. Despite missiing half a season, Robbo only finished a bag off the pace. Congrats to Brad, but the total gives a fair indicator of the struggle of the side to kick any sort of score at all this year.

    Good effort. Stepped up this year and was consistent.

    26 was our leading goalkicker? Joking, right?

    I'm afraid not. Austin finished second on 24. Quite sad.

    Not coincidentally, this is the first time since 1995 that someone other than Neitz, Robertson or Farmer won Melbourne's goalkicking.

    Wow, that's a stat!

    When a club only kicks around 250 goals from 22 games, it makes sense that the leading goalkicker will only have around 25-30 goals. Especially when we haven't had anyone kicking bags! Congratulations to Brad, He stood up in an undermanned forward line and has shown enough IMO that he could step up next year with a few more consistent performers supporting him!

    Goodbye Season 2008...!

    It's the lowest winning tally since Ross Brewer's 26 in 1977. Before that Barrie Vagg won with 20 in 1966.

    The Club Goalkicking has only been won with 26 or less only some twenty times (and only five times since 1919).

    On the bright side it's twice as many as Mick Macguire's 13 which won in 1913.

    In 1913, 13 goals would have been a good effort.

    With the way Buddy F is going, 120 will be the new season target.

    Ahhhhhh Ross Brewer. We could do with him at the mo.

    Glad to see Brad step up a bit this year. Hope he can take it to an even higher level next year.

    Not really, Dr Roy Park (University) won the "Coleman" that year with 56, not a bad tally in a pretty crook side.

    I'm quite suprised by that figure. I stand totally corrected.

    • 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.
