    Dogs list is unbelievable.

    They're the most well balanced list within the AFL surely with their players and game style perfectly suited to modern day footy.

    With the amount of MFC listed players we have, it's clear we're still a way off. 

    Absolutely must inject some more speed and kicking skills to our list over the next few drafts. 

    And they can do no wrong in the umpires eyes. Same things Casey are penalised for, dogs can get away with, countless times

    Unlike some of you guys, I reckon the list managers would use more than 30 minutes of bad football to make their decisions going forward. These same guys are the ones who got Casey to a GF in the first place. Admittedly this kind of fade out is all too familiar.

    Sylvia this match is THE match.

    If you are outscored in the premiership quarter by your opponent 8 to zip and you don't think you have problems then as a club....you have problems.

    You could play this match with the same lists 10 times and The Doggies would win it 10 times. List still needs a major clean up if the seniors are ever to impact and make finals

    We had very few injuries this year. Our depth wasn't tested much so we felt reasonably comfortable with what we did see at AFL level at times.

    You'd be mad not to use it though. It's pretty bloody damning.

    There's 30 minutes of bad football and there's a lack of effort in a Grand Final. Astonishing really.

    Any chance of Spence taking a mark? Very limited player

    I know you're being rhetorical here CF

    ANB has regressed significantly.

    I heard he turned up for preseason in ordinary shape. Will need to extract the digit

    Oliver, Weideman (although he needs to get a lot stronger and fitter) and Joel Smith. That's the only promise out there from today's game as far as I can see. Anyone else?

    I question allowing our tv coverage of the 1/4 & 3/4 time huddles. Footscray declined. I know it's revisionist but small things matter.

    I'll stay to the end, but this is incredibly disappointing. 

    I agree with the comments about outside speed, and we've been killed in the ruck.

     

    Hard not to be a bit worried

    It's very very sad, but Trengove's actually too slow for VFL footy, let alone AFL. His footy brain lets him get away with it up to a point, but it's very stark.

    Kennedy won't be gone, but Grimes, Garland and Dunn should be. Trengove's finished as well. 

    I think this says a little bit about the Bulldogs game plan and ours. We're going to need quite a few more gears. It's like watching Melbourne being opened up.

    It's not the players!!! It's our game plan. 

    We have a superior list than Footscray at both VFL and AFL levels however we play an outdated game plan that gets exposed with the modern game.

    both the saints and dogs play a high pressure, quick game that makes us look slow. 

    Goodwin needs to look away from Roos structure and implement the clarkson plan

    Give the guy a full preseason before riding him off. He wasn't even running this time last year.

    its unfair to criticize him before a good pre season

    It's an interesting point.

    But we beat the Hawks... Not sure what that means for the game plan

    How did we beat this mob 2 weeks ago?

    The flat track at etihad plays right into Footscray's fast running game plan. 

    It also exposes our lack of outside speed and pace

    We don't have a superior list to The Dogs at AFL & VFL level. 

    Get your head out of the clouds...

    The MFC has got to stop over rating itself. Lots of players had their last game today.

    • 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.
