The Bullies just play a completely different game to us. They play on to a forward runner at every single opportunity and then sprint for the next 10 metres. It completely destroys any defensive structure we might have. Unless we play one on one, it will be a 25 goal victory. How the MFC coaching team don't get how the Bulldogs take the game on just baffles me. You can't contest unless you can get near them. By contrast, our team find new ways to embarrass their supporters.

 

People are still watching? I gave up 15 minutes ago.

You're missing a great display of football. Unfortunately it's not us, but it's exhilarating to watch.
 

Yeah I'm going to watch the Great British Bake Off

A good contest


12 months ago, Footscray looked destined for years in the wilderness. Lost experience and gained little in return.

They play to win and don't look for excuses. Genuine flag threat the way they play.

Body language of Dunn, Jones, Howe, Jetta is defeatist and disgraceful.

Until they are all gone, we will be average.

Exactly. Its almost verbatim of Chips body language last year. Hands on hips. Head down. Defeated before the game is barely a quarter old. SAME OLD STORY.

Our Backline are such dumb footballers

 

We'll win from here.....

I don't even care today. Who gives a stuff really, we are just riding out the year now. Dogs are going for Top 4. Stop getting upset by it and understand the difference in what the two sides are playing for.

[censored].

You need to finish strongly. Finals or not. So much depends on it. So many variables. Free agents. Members. Sponsors.

You can't just fold because the season means something. You're always playing for something.

Don't start.

Stringer had a serious leg injury, no-one quite knew how or even if he'd be able to get back. We weren't the only ones who passed.

Leg injury, hip injury.

Whateva helps you sleep better.

Stringer taking a shot on goal now while Toumpas is where?


I can't help it. I don't know why. Masochistic tendencies?

I just turned it back on.

Why did Howe just punch the ball back in play instead of rushing a behind?

If we beat them out of the centre, their forward runner is irrelevant. We are getting smashed in the simple basics of football. Win the contested ball, tackle, spread, hit targets.

In the wasted first round scrap heap that is the MFC.

Time to go home .... don't want to see this again .....


[censored] these umpires!

Had Mark Neeld hijacked the coaching box?

I'm having flashbacks

Welcome back to the darkest days.

Just left.


Being comprehensively outplayed by a bloody good TEAM who back each other up and deliver with skill. Destined for top 4.

Our guys are trying but have had their morale totally shot

My god. This is like watching someone shoot puppies.

Roos game plan is completely outdated.

All the current successful teams have modelled themselves on Hawthorn.

West Coast, Bulldogs, Richmond and soon to be carlton.

Roos needs to be able to recognise this

 

Wow. 186 is looking like a good day right now.

  • 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.
