King is an excellent analyst and gave sound reasoning to his views. Did you watch the show ?

Roos has expressed surprise at Melbourne's gameplan.

Brad Scott mentioned on Footy Insider that we setup very differently and haven't embraced the forward press. You may think that's a good thing.

Lyon has expressed concerns.

Gerard Healy wrote an article in March which was highly critical of our gameplan.

But you prefer the views of anonymous Melbourne supporters that post on the internet ? :blink:

Btw, who are these well informed posters ? And what do you mean "trust" ? It's not a matter of "trust".

I agree that a critical mass has been reached and our gameplan has some gaping holes - not least the inability to perform a decent press.

I am saying that I don't appreciate the views of those two commentators.

I understand what Roos is saying and I remember the Healy article. I think McClure and King, and especially Robinson, are bobble heads that repeat what they hear in the echo chamber.

That is just my view on those commentators.

    And, believe it or not, I think that some posters on here have more informed views.

    And I am 'trusting' them to have more informed views, not the poster themselves...

    But thanks for this, I always enjoy semantical clarification...

    An unusual leap of faith and certainly one I don't share.

    As previously requested, who are these posters ?

    rpfc knows his stuff...

    You know your footy, Rogue, 45, DC, HT, and nutbean are up there. A few others.

    All to varying degrees, on varying issues.

    I read some sense on here occasionally...

    You do too, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

    Nasher too. The opposite of whatever Freak says is usually bankable.

    In my time reading this forum, I've noticed AoB, Stylus and Goodvibes offering some intelligent discussion.

    I would agree with that.

    2 Sheds is also a bright poster.

    hey guess what happened, some media [censored] has taken the opportunity to kick us while we're down, can you believe it?

  • Quote

    Yes, unfortunately doesn't post often enough.

    There are others sitting at the back of my mind, but in general the good posters don't seem to post that often.

    No offence intended to those that do!

    I value the contributions of Whispering Jack, and would like to see more of Finks, Fan and Pantaloons.

    Plus the failure to come 'closest to the pin' re: membership tally predictions

    ;) RI.

    • 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.
