Or when he has players who can consistently run to the areas he is tapping to before opponents do.

That would be the our defensive side of the centre bounce?

    I'm seriously hoping we can win on Sunday and watching Crossys retirement speech I'd say the boys will be too. PJ communicated the goal to win 7 games and is another reason we'll be up for this game, not to mention a win will likely have us above the Saints and we finish the season on a positive note. Will Mark improve our side on the weekend?

    NM, for example, will rove to taps of opposing ruckmen when Goldstein is being beaten.

    But they won't just do that - they will see where Jones is going and literally use his momentum to get to the spot that Jones was headed for.

    We are that predictable, and essentially it comes down to a lack of better options.

    Yep. I was being a bit facetious. I rate max. The problem is how poor our midfield is.

    Ah...,the plot thickens.

    I was going to say that the selectors said NYET, but now this twist.

    Maybe we secretly asked permission from the Integrity Commissioner* (LOL) to play games with our team too.

    quite frankly I reckon Gawny's got Jamar covered now.. Mark ...expert at tapping to feet.. Gawny..strangely taps to a player....just saying

    ... always thought he had some flamenco in him blzb, never really believed he was all Rusky... :)

    So he got named as emergency, maybe they'll keep him on for one more year and trade Spence? Or they are just being heartless....

    • 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.
