    We don't need to wish about winning 5-6 games, because we won't. 2-3 is realistic. I can see us beating Freo, Essendon and maybe Adelaide at the G.

    Not sure what you had for breakfast this morning.....

    Not a hope in hell of beating Adelaide at the G..... Unless of course they play 18 under 18's..... Who would probably still be too fast for us.... :P

    I reckon we'll win the next 3 and be in the 8 in 3 weeks time. Then we've got Geelong. Then we'll find out where we're really at.

    ;)

    Anyone with half a brain has accepted that a.) we won't win more than four games this year and b.) there is no way in hell we want to.

    We absolutely must ensure we get picks 1&2 in this draft.

    We are in the early stages of what I hope will be a comprehensive rebuild.

    We were crap last year and we quite rightly didn't recruit any stop gap hole plugging senior players so we are relying on the natural development of our young talent. That takes time. Add a few high draft picks from this years draft and our stockpile of talent will be the best we've had in years. Yes we've got to develop them and retain them but at least we have them. And we'll have alot more stokced up than most of our rivals.

    We are not winning games but there are positives. Think defensive talls. Warnock is 25, 192 cms and 95kg. Composed, strong, does his job with a minimum of fuss. Martin is 22, 200cm and 102kg. Tall, gorilla strong, quick, good instincts, thumping spoil and marking improving. Frawley is 20, 192cm and 92kg. finally seems comfortable at AFL level. Can play on talls and mediums. Needs to keep improving kicking. Garland is almost 21, 189cms and 87kg. Athletic, positons well, could play in midfield. And then there is Jared Rivers at 24, 190cm and 90kg. Fingers crossed. Reads the play superbly. A quarter back who gets his own ball because of that. Marks well, spoils well, supports his team mates.

    The Hawks'd kill for that group of defensive talls.

    • 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.
