Players who didn't impress me in second half

Jones

Kent

Garland

Garlett

Howe

Are you serious? This isnt Twitter, there is no character limit. I would list everyone perhaps maybe McDonald and one or two others.

Jack Watts typifies Melbourne. he was great in the first half, up and about and looked so damaging, but the heat came on and started his usual loping, uncontested, ineffective game.

    It's a team game, BUT, all those who desperately wanted Dawes in this week, hang your head and apologise now. Come on, fess up.

    Grossly overated in this website.

    Been calling and keep getting howled down for it. But Dawes is a spud who we paid way over for.

    Get pedersen of Gawn in atleast they can MARK the ball.

    Seeing this today makes me realise that even after 10 years we havn't improved. We keep selling it to ourselves that we have when we are the exact same [censored] as 10 years ago. We are no better now then we were back then.

    It's games like this that give Gawn, McKenzie, Minchie, Riley Grimes & Spencer hope

    Then we truly have no hope.

    I think the saddest thing about losing today is looking ahead. Hawks, Adelaide, Sydney and Port all in the next 5 weeks. Be scared, people. Be scared.

    Don't forget Freo...

    Once we lose our grip on the possession based game, we have nothing. We just can't get the ball back and take control again.

    Luckily I took a photo of the ladder last week!

    It's not even about skill level, it's about effort. The Saints showed far more guts last week and came within a few goals. We just stopped trying at half time.

    If we were half as good as we were 10 years ago (2005), we'd be a finals team.

    I am ANGRY not sad or moping

    ANGRY...that is what we must be

    13 goals to 1 in the second half

    ANGRY....Don't let the players off..

    THIS IS EXACTLY WHY N. JONES IS NOT AN A GRADE CHAMPION

    He Goes Missing when he must LEAD

    Correct.

    Add their fitness levels and pace, once they found their radar.....all over.

    You can't say that Dawes exactly had good service from his midfielders, why does everyone always blame the forwards when we get beaten, struth the ball didn't enter inside 50 much in the last half and yet it's Dawes's fault. What about DYson, Lumumba Jonesd et al?

    With the benefit of hindsight. The only player listed above you would even think of adding to the side today would have been Mitchie.

    All the others are way too slow.

    Yeh we should look to replace as many non AFL standard footballers (and we have plenty of em STILL) with more non AFL standard ones.

    That should see a huge improvement on the field

    I was so jubliant at half time

    makes it sooo much worse

    Jubilant at half time? really? how could you not see the game shifted in the second qtr?

    Because he's an easy target by so many on this forum.

    That was shameful.

    They not only smashed us, they actually, physically beat us up and we did nothing.

    Also no one showed any Mongrel or real fight!

    sometimes that's needed more than others

    today we had no one of that caliber.

    • 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.
