    When you look at the bests it's clear to see the path each team took from there

    It's unbelievable how much the squad has changed from not so long ago.

    In the photo we have Warnock & Bartrum..... gone

    In the article it mentions Junior, Moloney, Green, Sylvia, Scully, Bailey, Petterd & Bate with only Colin remaining.

    I have a 2005 Melbourne team photo in my house which although is 8 years old (still not an eternity) and all we have left from that I think is Flash and the Rush. Surely no other team has turned that many over.

    Not all players are Dustin Fletcher's. For example Green was drafted in 1999, we were an older playing side in 2005 and I'm surprised 8 years on anyone is still left

    Hardwick's comments sound very much like Neeld's last week:

    "If you take the third quarter out of the game, we lose by 11-points," he said.

    "The thing we have to get better at - and it goes with a young inexperienced side - is that when that does happen you need to be able to stop the run on and that is something we need to address.

    "For three quarters we were OK, but in that third quarter we let ourselves down badly."

    Not happy the club forced Bruce, Green & McDonald out of the side. The leadership they could have provided.

    No need to be revisionist. Bruce walked.

    I was so sure back in 2010 we were on the rise. Geez how wrong I was.

    • 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.
