If I were Roos. I would be taking 22 players to one finals game each week, even the Grand Final.

And would be picking a team to "play against" one of the finals teams and would be saying here is your position, this is your opponent, now watch and learn what they do.

I want you to be able to tell me how they beat their opponent, if they did, how they were beaten if they were.

Where they ran to, were they effective?

What would/could you do better in their positions and in their decision makings..

Because in my opinion we have enough talented footballers, but they are just not smart enough!

Thoughts?

    Surely this is a contradiction in terms. Part of being talented ought to be to be able to make the right decisions during a game. It is part of the game itself, to know what do do and when.

    Most of ours is just rabble currently

    A different F word to the one often blurted out when watching us play.

    [censored] I know it's contingent on a lot of things...but we got one of the best crouching staffs in the comp. Once Roosy leaves I reckon we will be just starting to enter the premiership window :D

    Mate I didn't know it was self explanatory that lines and times means the same thing....in fact I still don't think that...so calm the [censored] down.

    Do you mean we won't be playing in the finals? :(

    I disagree.. You can have talent. But have no idea how to use it correctly... You can be a great kick and a super mark but not know how and where to run to.. Ie Majak Daw..

    There is enough talent there to build a team around.. A nucleus if you will, we still need another couple of mids and a specialist fwd to stand next to Hogan.. But there is enough talent there to work with..

    If you remember when Daniher arrived, he actually sat down his team and taught them how he wanted to play!

    • 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.
