We are just not intimidating enough.

I noticed Brissie were getting into us at every opportunity.

Watching the Freo Geelong game...Freo did the same to Geelong, they were pushing prodding niggling, absoloutely in the face all nite.

We should have been pumped like men of steel after Jimmys passing, but the only one to show any Grunt was Magner.

Black had so much space in the middle, and we just werent making him earn it.

    Yes we are soft . I have always thought that we never recruit the personality type that is suited to hard committed football

    we seem to prefer good looking model citizens to hungry give me an opportunity at any cost hard cases

    we are now so far away from the right cattle being available it will effectively take another 4 years to turn it around sorry to say

    It is difficult to admit that the last 4 years have been completely wasted in my opinion

    Yes, it is a very bitter pill to swallow but unless yesterday was some sort of one of "shocker" then we are in deep shite. As another poster mentioned, it is possible to make a case for us finishing bottom.

    2010 we had a similar shocker then came out and nearly beat collingwood. Very kneejerk reaction over yesterday. Don't get me wrong i'mm as pee'd off as anyone, but writing players off who have one bad game and labelling players soft is no good.

    We beat Collingwood a few weeks ago and played three shockers since. We always fall in a hole after we put in reasonable games against them. Collingwood games are never a reliable indicator to how we are travelling.

    Your spoton.

    We are. And they did get into Especially Magner at ever opportunity early, & we barely flew the flag.

    Soft.

    • 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.
