Repeat efforts of that in the finals will mean we win the flag.

Yep. Thursday was like a tune up

    This Package deserves discussion. This is such an incredible effort by our 2IC

    Jack was brutal and focused for 4 Quarters. It is relentless. AFL Players play like this for a Quarter and get praised and rightly so. 
    Jack did it all night, even in the last Quarter 

    This is one of the greatest efforts from 1 player in the History of the MFC

    I am so proud of him

    Thanks for this Edit Mighty 

    Keep it in perspective please.

    I love Jack as well but one of the greatest efforts ????

    Lets not demean past champions.

    I've seen Gary Hardeman, Big Carl, Ray Biffin, Laurie Fowler & others all bleed for the club & lead from the front.

    I’ve seen all those Players too. 
    But Jack took it too another level. 
    All the players you mentioned have never trained to the level of todays players, and i mean no disrespect to them. It’s a different game now. 
    Viney’s intensity did not drop off. Players from the 70’s were not able to do that

    Strange lot you have put up as a comparison. All of them except GH laid coathangers on their opponents. I guess back then that's how they lead from the front.

    A better person would not tag @demon3165and remind him of his heresy and urge recantation and I am not that better person…

    Well it seems your not a bright person, if you can read I said he played a different game in the finals last year than during the year and he played well for it, you can thank me for helping him, instead of trying to take everyone on he played like Clarry early years get ball give it off to someone on the run so he was a different footballer and is better off for it, but thanks for the attempt at a cheap shot.

    Just extraordinary. He was still doing it all in the last quarter 

    that’s what i would show to new recruits…

    ”This is what Captain’s do”

    Maybe show Jacko and Angus the footage and tell them they could be up against this if they leave 😱

    Hardly cheap, I am offering redemption for you soul; a chance to recant and say you were wrong about someone so important to your club…

    DJR as well you remember there was the small matters  of punching, elbowing and flattening as well. We know they were condoned with regularity, and yes it was led from the front by every side. Things change and so did the rules. Unless I'm wrong I thought Hardeman got reported too

    I loved his game but that highlights package doesn’t do it justice. 
     

    His influence isn’t portrayed as overly clean and meaningful to the untrained eye. 
    His brute strength and will to win the ball and move it forward was pretty bloody impressive. ❤️💙💪

    People often credit Max's leadership with our flag, but it's pretty clear to me that between them, Jack and Max make a pretty dynamic duo.  I think Jack deserves to be captain in his own right again some day and think he'd do a great job of it too.

    I reckon Jacks been living the shadow of CP and Oliver fr a while. Having the captaincy back fr a few weeks might just have been what he needed. Critical to flag hopes.

    • 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.
