We're struggling to beat the competition's easybeats in our home state.

Yes, we have a much weakened defence but we should be doing better.

Dees 5.2.32 Lions 5.6.36

Collier just kicked a behind ... BL 36 M 32

True, but as you said Grimes, Frawley, Batram all out make it a severely weaken defence, and I think they have a few back, I know Power is back and kicked a supergoal.

Clay Beams kicks a goal for BL. BL 43 M 32.

BL has possession in Melb backline

Garland also not there.

Not great so far 49-32 now.

Cmon Dees

Polkinghorne kicks a banana goal. From the pocket. BL now 49. Melb 32.

We aren't looking great at the moment. A lot of kicking to contests, No efficient run and carry. Tackles don't stick. The defense is completely depleted that's one thing to note. Watts looks lost out there again although there isn't any direct ball movement.

Good to see gys and tappy and petterd running around. Ricky starting to take some grabs.

Petterd takes fine mark just outside 50 metres

About to line up for goal.

He kicks but just touched on the line

Watts goals from boundary line!


Watts receives free kick and will now have a shot from just outside 50 - but on the boundary

Watts kicks an outstanding goal - well done son!

Much needed goal from Dees. Melbourne 39 BL 50.

Dees needed that spark ... now down by 11 pts

Ricky Petterd rises to take a fine mark ... quickly gets the ball moving to Rohan Bail, who marks inside 50

Bail kicks a point

Ricky Petterd is playing some fine footy. Plucks them well.

22 games from Rick would be great in 2011

Very much like the Essendon game. Disposal and decision making is aweful.

Is Jurrah playing? cos if he is I haven't heard his name mentioned?


Half-time: BL 7.8.50 to Melb 6.4.40 - Melb trail by 10 pts.

Sounds like a pretty poor first half, even with many of the best 22 missing :(

Half Time - we trail by 10 points.

Goals to Dunn, Jetta, Maric, Martin, Sylvia & Watts

Luke Tapscott v. promising for what is virtually his first hit out with the club. Classy disposer of the ball compared to some of his more seasoned teammates.

Hope we bring out some system after the break.

No jurrah garland trengove grimes Davey from what I can see.

Petterd lifted and took some fine marks that qtr.

The ease at which teams carry the ball out of our fwd line is very frustrating. Luckily lions turn it over as much as us.

Midfield just lacks something at the moment. Just got to hope that the likes of jones and Silvia are still holding back.

I like the size and movement of Howe, should play some footy this yr.

 

Tapscott is a great positive and his kicking sublime.

Could be the theme of the day, taking away some individual highlights. Tapscott and Petterd so far.

Sounds though Tappy is going well, how many touches has he had?

Tapscott has been very good in first official hit out for Melbourne. His ability to hit targets and his long kicking skills have been on show

Just got some basic stats ... Marks: BL 73 Melb 29, Disposals: BL 187 Melb 144, Rich (14), Adcock (13), McGrath (12), Rockliff (12). Melb: Bail (11), Tapscott (11), Moloney (10)

  • 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.
