    Should play for Casey this week

    I was delighted to see that beautiful long left-hand hand pass by Jones.(that set up a brilliant chain of foot passes).

    Nathan has been so predictably right-sided it has limited his elusiveness.

    His kicking was superb on Sunday,too.

    Down at Chapel St having a Cafe Latte...

    Seriously though, I think he's being tested this week for the weekend to play with Casey.....could be wrong.

    Yeah we really need a classy outside player in the midfield to complement the in and under. But it will come, eventually.

    Morton, Davey, Bennell can all fill that roll very well.

    Its funny that a lack of class is now our problem.

    Our midfield a few years ago was a 'rolls royce' midfield and lacked some V8 grunt...

    How times have changed.

    Moloney is a great inclusiong this season.

    He does alot of the one percenters, gets contested possessions, clearances and puts it into the forward 50...

    Hopefully Sylvia can produce this kind of goal kicking display more regularly...

    I think Moloney has greatly improved he was your ttypical old time player when we first got him get the ball bang it long etc etc but very hard at it.

    but now he has refined his skills and thought process to be very damaging and still be hard at it..

    from a few years ago when we were labelled a Soft club i think his inclusion has really helped the younger/smallers guys be more confident.. we seem to play better when he is in the team..

    and although Sylvia is strong and hard at it imo he is still to selfish.. looking for accolades or maybe that is just him trying to impress the coaching staff so he gets a feww more years who knows.

    i would like to see him do more 1% er's though. (incredible Marking strength )

    Yeah, would anyone consider Melbourne one of the harder teams in the comp? Do you thing we are labelled one of the soft clubs anymore?

    Despite many people having the idea we where a 'soft club' we where the no. 1 tacklers in 2006.

    God they where good times with the Reverand his gang at full strength.

    • 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.
