Key forwards are handy, but both this VFL side and their senior side show why its far more important to have midfielders that run both ways.

If you can win the ball and move it quickly you'll get scoring shots rather slow movement and bombing to a key forward thats got 3 players on him.

    Jong is far more than just a VFL standard player. To come back from a broken collarbone and to play the game he is playing, setting up most of the Dogs' attack ( and will likely play in next week's GF)...the Dees should be taking a serious look at him.

    8 Casey players yet to touch the ball in the 3rd quarter after 20 minutes! Pathetic work rate!

    Could someone man up on Lin Jong please?

    Umpires are a joke.

    Ah the romance of it all - the football world love the doggies, but particularly the commentators and the yellow clowns in control - nauseating.....

    interesting but true

    It also helps when you have 13 plus games indoors (Docklands) where speed is the key

    Sorry to say it, but Plapp is not a good coach in this situation.

    Nees Terlich on Russell, not the Casey player. Russell is killing us, and he's really not that good.

    I been saying that for a while, he is carving us up.

    How is that shepherding rubbish allowed?

    Who was the commentator with that 'what a footy club' BS?

    What a horribly gutless way to play a third quarter in a Grand Final. The Scorps showed too often during the season that they're frontrunners and so it comes to pass now. Woeful stuff when the big prize is there.

    Umpires definitely favoring the Dogs, but the Dogs are also just playing much better. We're lucky to only be 6 goals down thanks to their inaccuracy. Very disappointing!

    1 team wants to win, the other likes the idea of winning, and the difference is obvious, this is sooooo dissapointing, a team that has two AFL co captains in it should not lack effort in a grand final.

    Apart from Oliver, Weids and Hullet, every Melbourne listed player out there should get the cut on Monday. Seriously [censored] poor!

    And there goes the Cup

    Apart from Oliver the rest of that Casey team is not up to AFL standard. 

    Matt Jones and Ben Kennedy have been a disgrace really

    • 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.
