They aren't playing at AAMI apparently... it will be at the cricket ground (Adelaide Oval?).

Good news!

Game over, got the four points which is the most important thing in very tough conditions.

 

WELL DONE BOYS. 4 points in the heat.....not easy, i don't care who the oponent is.

I know that heat.

A very average coaching effort against the bottom side with a first year coach!

Get a clue and don't be so bloody pessimistic.

We got the 4 points (again) over in Darwin at a ground that is a real struggle with the instense humidity and "unfootball-like" conditions!

We beat Darwin... not Port Adelaide.

Exactly, it was a good performance against a team who plays there more often than us.

Rather uninspiring game of footy and not one I'll remember for life's eternity, but 4 points is better than 0 points.

Special mention to James Frawley, who in my opinion is UNSTOPPABLE in that kind of form. And to Stefan Martin, who has gone from borderline hack to pure awesomeness over one pre season.

Well done Demons.

Mrs Ucanchoose here - I've been reading this thread while watching the game, and finding myself more and more amused with the antics of some of the posters tonight regarding Tom Scully - it's like I'm reading the posts of a bunch of women on a parenting messageboard, arguing about the best way to toilet train your toddler!

it's quite ok to bag players like morton incessantly, but scully has a very average night and nobody is allowed to go near him! be realistic, we are allowed to say it as we see it.

It's always good to win, but stop making excuses - we would have been destroyed by a half good side, particularly one with good defensive skills!

I,m with you a good win. Just hope they are not stuffed next week


I really hate this Darwin game, it gives this rabble of a team in Port a chance to beat us and it completely stuffs us for the following week.

Agreed. Tonight's crowd was the smallest attendance out of all games at TIO. Majority of them seemed to support Port.

Only thing that seemed to indicate that it was a Melbourne home game was the navy shorts!

Was Scully in the huddle there? I didn't see him!

He wasn't there. Halfway through I was looking for him and realised when they mentioned a 'team bonding win'

  • 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.
