It was hard to tell watching the match on TV, but it seemed like Beamer missed most, if not all of the last quarter, and most of the 3rd? I thought he was one of our best in the first half, and couldn't figure out why he wasn't on the ground. Just wondering if anyone who was at the ground knows whether he might have picked up me sort of injury or niggle, and hence was rested for the majority of the 2nd half? This would be a major blow as he's been one of our best so far this year.

Any clues?

    It`s great to have Beamer back in the side after another good effort yesterday with 18 touches,6 marks, 5 kicks Inside 50,1 goal and 2 centre clearances. Yesterday I picked up on Moloney`s kicking accuratcy around the 50 metre mark. We should continue playing Moloney in a rotating role on the half forward flank and on the ball, because he can find the goals with that raking right boot. He uses his strength around the stoppages,Puts on good defensive pressure at times, tackles and chases, but you just got to wonder if he can use all his strengths for 4 quarters. Same with all of our players. If we are going to be a competitive team we need all our players using all their strengths for a full 4 quarters, which is part of the reason why we can`t put in a full 4 quarter effort.

    Thoughts?

    You will remember back to I think it was ROund 3 last year wheen Dean Bailey blasted him at the quarter time huddle for continually kickjing the ball long straight to the opposition. Bailey went straight for Moloney and said something like 'not once, not twice, but 3 times' and even used his fingers to count it in Moloneys face.

    Something you would never see from Neale Daniher.

    Moloneys game has now changed for the better.

    Notice now when he gets the ball he acxtually looks ahead to see whats on offer, and now instead of blazing away, a large percentage of his kicks travel less than 30 metres.

    The only thing I worry about is that he may get gun shy on occasions and not use his booming 60 metre kick even if it is the best option.

    Anyway, so far so good. A win for Bailey, the Demons and the fans.

    Yeah, remember that. If he can use his booming 60 metre kick more often when he`s in range he can be one of our midfielders who kicks some goals, he does kick a few goals already though. I remember a thread back a long time ago complaining about Melbourne midfielders not kicking enough goals.

    • 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.
