Do they have faith in the game plan in the first place? Even if perfectly executed is it the best way for this team to play?

Faith? I'd have to say not

Based on their execution I'd say not, at best they are wrestling with an invisible monster

Even if perfectly executed is it the best way for this team to play? Excellent question and one I have absolutely no answer for

    well he has a short memory like most in the media, true we were absolute CRAPon the last two games but the week before that we beat wet toast, we had 3 rising stars and the backline is really taking shape, Morton will be a star but like all, he judges us by that last game.

    Exactly. Mike writes what's in fashion. I remember Mike after the first two weeks of being flogged, he raised questions about not keeping a couple of seasoned players like Ward, Brown, Bizell, Pickett etc etc to help the youngsters and not look so shzien. puke.

    Fast forward 10 weeks or so and we beat the Lions, its all about how Melbourne were going in the right direction and how the youth had brought on some excitement and enthusiasm to the club and the backline looks to have some future.

    Guess I personally can't complain. Writers got to write.

    Well, if you're trying to argue that we weren't crap this year, I'm not sure how much either 1938 or Collingwood has to do with that.

    Finishing last which every year happens to one team is obviously a result of a poor year

    Having a first year coach who is looking at youth also should be taken into account in the overall result

    Would have thought both Port and West Coast,s finishing positions this year compared to their previous years would have been the talking point

    compared to the rebuilding of the Demons pertaining to the worst performing sides of the 2008 season

    • 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.
