I feel like it might be the most even flag race we've had in years. Sydney, Port Adelaide, Fremantle and Hawthorn (at full strength, anyway) are up there, and though Geelong's form is currently pretty poor, they're 8-3 and they've been written off before. Throw in Collingwood, who are also 7-3, plus the giant killer in North Melbourne (beaten Sydney in Sydney, Fremantle in Perth and Port Adelaide) and there's a legitimate 7-horse race for the flag.

Which of those clubs miss the top 4? Right now you'd say Geelong's not good enough, but if they finish 5th or 6th, who knows what they could do. Ditto North, who play their best against the best.

    I don't share your enthusiasm for Norf anus but I reckon 3 or your 4 are where the flag will end up. Swans, Port or Hawks.

    Port would make for a great story if they could take the flag. Would give our team some hope too!

    if he had been in a decent side where he did not have to star every week.

    I wonder how many of our past players would have been different players if we had a different coach at the time old dee.

    I guess we will never know but it's nice to c what has happened to Pedo, Jetta, Watts etc.

    That's clever OD! I just cannot conjure up an image of an "up market Collingwood". Too many single malts.

    It wasn't up market at all in the 70's & 80's i can assure you.

    Downright scary comes to mind.

    Concrete boots were in shop windows !!

    I can never quite understand why so many on here have such a dislike for the Roos.

    I simply do not share the feeling.

    Only room for one Melbourne OD.

    That's part of our problem.

    They will not last in Victoria....Give them 5 years.

    The same could have been said for us a few months ago wyl and it would not have taken 5 years.

    The Roos are still a couple of years ahead of us!

    Me neither. Yes, they are another club, but that is about it.

    They will be down in Tassie OD.

    Since CS was shown the door the MFC are in a lot better situation.

    Much to do but it is rolling.

    Nought Melbourne are treading water and getting tired...The AFL are concerned.

    Yup

    and thats the exact reason Damian Barrett the Kangaroo supporter constantly bashes us

    Tries to put out as much negative press on the MFC as possible cos he knows North are first in line to relocate but he wants us to look like the biggest basket case

    Hes fighting a losing battle the silly [censored]

    Gee the kangaroos are average, seriously lack leadership and some seriously overrated players.

    • 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.
