Carlton a bit stiff to lose tonight but the story to me was how flat Freo look. Malthouse had it all over Lyon tonight and if it wasn't for the class of Fyfe then they were up right up the creek. Maybe the close win will kick it into gear for them but at the moment they look anything but a premiership threat.

    How good was Fyfe, ten contested possessions and a couple of goal assists in the final quarter

    it's abit unfreo like the way they're going at the moment, I really hope they can get it right and be a feature this finals series.

    Very; Ross seems to have lost his mojo at the moment.

    Fyfe an absolute Superstar. Dockers not nearly as good as last year at the moment. Problems up forward - Pav probably will be O K after the knock tonight - Mzungu loss for a bit will be a problem.

    Ballantyne held until the last quarter but another match winner. Dawson still a worry for Ross.

    As I have a soft spot for Carlton seeing as my mum barracks for them, I was glad to hear they took it right up to Freo, just couldn't close it off with a win. I didn't watch the game as I had a nap, wether Carlton were good tonight, Freo looked flat, or both, Carlton should pat themselves on the back, winning by under a goal over in Perth to a potential top 4 team. I just wish our game against Freo wasn't as crud as it was :(

    Why were Freo wearing their clash strip at a home game? I thought Carlton had an all white strip themselves.

    Home team should always wear home colours and be up to the visiting team to have an appropriate clash strip. Even if it means having more then one possible clash jumper

    They wore white as part of the tribute paid to the Maslin children, Fremantle supporters who died when MH17 was brought down.

    Wash your mouth out with petrol and then have a smoke HH.

    Alternatively, you could simply have nothing more to do with your mother.

    What we saw last night from Sydney is what I expect to see from Melbourne in 2016. Hard, unrelenting two way running and a tremendous defence. The Swans and the Hawks look light years ahead of the rest.

    I posted my awe of these two teams after watching their recent game WJ. I was particulary impressed by both teams ability to dispose of the ball under pressure.

    Sadly, however, we look more like playing that type of footy in 2026.

    Damn you BBO, I am sitting at my local cafe after a 100km bike ride having a coffee, and after reading this I laughed so hard I spat my coffee over my table. Now everyone here thinks I am bitterly twisted!

    Not a big fan of the Blues I see BBO

    Adelaide could have knocked Esendrug out of the 8 but failed hard

    Pathetic effort from the Crowbots

    Tell someone who cares hh

    I dislike the Crows with deep intensity.

    Them out of the top eight makes my day.

    You're right on the money Hulkster. In fact I I think the moderators should give you a severe sanction for showing Carlton any consideration on Demonland. It must violate the code of conduct ...surely?

    • 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.
