We weren't at our best yesterday, that's clear. However, wholesale changes aren't required.

Put aside round 2, we have beaten 3 out of the 4 teams at our level and just lost to a 6-0 team in Tasmania. I looked at pies, Tigers and saints.. And thought 2 wins would be a great result.

That is a massive improvement and  from my point of view, just above par for the group. 

 

Next 3 we have GC, Dogs, Lions.

2 out of the 3 would be a great result. 5-4 at round 9.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water with an average performance yesterday. We are improving and yet to really click.

 

Back off TMAC too, he was awesome in the majority of games this year too

    GC and Dogs are both very tough matches. GC will bounce back next week, mark my words. 

    I think 2-1 is achievable, but imo it's more likely to come from Dogs and Lions than GC and Lions, or GC and Dogs.

    No coincidence that when Tom Mc plays like crap, we get thumped. Essendon he was smashed by Joe Daniher, then he got smashed by Reiwoldt yesterday. Our two worst games of the year are his two worst games.

    All this bashing of the defence is ridiculous. This is the system we are playing and it relies on intensity around the ball and sticking tackles. The boys looked really tired from the opening bounce and our press then became a liability. I think it's a credit to our recruiting in recent years that we were able to hang in there while playing with little energy.

    So yeah, I agree with the op.

    We are still in the hunt, no doubt. Goes without saying the Gold Coast game is huge as far as staying in touch with the top half of the ladder.

    Agree with this - plus we beat GWS who have beaten Geelong and Hawthorn.

    Stinkers like yesterday are annoying but at least they are becoming less frequent (1 in 3 instead of 2 in 3 haha).

    I don't rate GC - I reckon we'll [censored] em next week.

    • 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.
