Almost twelve months out of the game, returns against the best full-back in the land and destroys him.

He showed good speed, provided a much needed target up forward and could have easily kicked five for the day.

Welcome back Robbo.

    Hasn't lost any of his magic.

    Still needs to work on his defensive pressure, but isn't it great to have a forward who will mark anything that goes near him and kick them too.

    Welcome back Robbo, we've missed you!

    Lets hope Robbo can kick at least 40 for the year and continue to give us someone to go to for the rest of the year.

    Probably would have won against Adelaide if Robertson was in the side. In fact, I think those 5 wins are now under threat.

    Being without a strong forward target for so long has shown me how much I underestimated Robertson.

    I always thought he was a good player, but I assumed if he didn't kick the goals, somebody else would.

    I like Miller in the side, but 26 goals just isn't enough.

    Was great to see Robbo bouncing around the forwardline again. Really great to see.

    He copped a bit of flack for his 'celebration' when we were getting soundly beaten, might have been in the third quarter I think. But I just think it was a natural outburst of typical Robbo energy and the thrill of being back on the G and kicking a goal.

    We're a far better team with Robbo out on the ground.

    Great to see him out there and providing some sort of target up fwd, especially on the lead! Some of our other fwds might need to look at how hard he lead yest.

    • 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.
