Matt Jones' disposal gets found out even at this level.

    Quarter Time and that was the Doggies quarter. However, their poor kicking is keeping Casey in the game. Bullies 2.7.19 to Scorps 2.1.13.

    We need Matt Jones' run, by my god, we cannot delist him quick enough. At this level there is no excuse for turnovers like that, but yet he consistently makes them.

    If you come back from a broken collar bone after 2 weeks then every player should be testing it out anyway they can.

    Exactly what I thought. Can be used to rev them up but that was completely over the top

  • Quote

    Dunn is an okay defender but his ability to rebound is almost zero.

    Time they played smart and put a small near him that could take the handpass and run.

    The days of the big kick from the back line are well and truly gone

    Footscray way too fast with their outside run.

     

    The same lack of speed and transitional thinking that affects the Dees afflicts the Scorps too.

     

    Dunn is a lovely long kick but he gets caught between pushing up to the contest and dropping back all the time, and the less said about Garland the better.

     

    Footscray look way better after one quarter.

    Why not? Didn't lose anything in that scuffle, but maybe regained some ascendency. Gotta spark the troops somehow.

    Im all for testing it out but Dunn ran towards him, grabbed him and completely threw him to the ground for no particular reason.

    Stupid.

    Depends. If It makes Fottscray want to hunt heads instead of the ball then it's a good move. If it makes us want to keep going with it then it was a bad one.

    Far far too predictable & easy for the dogs to defend. Long kick or switch, nothing short and no run then kick to get over the zone.

    Yeah, it was quarter time and obviously planned. Can't give away a free so why not. Nothing wrong with it in my mind.

    Just letting Jong know he missed an easy shot and testing out his shoulder. Hopefully it fired the boys up a bit. Dunn was good that quarter. Unfortunately the midfield didn't work hard enough and got found out for speed. Going to need to close down the corridor and start getting some decent link up and actually hit targets.

    Run and gun and pressure at the breakdown will always beat the kind of waffley predictable sideways nonsense Casey are playing. Oliver knows how, otherwise it's gonna get very ugly.

    Oliver is so clean and dynamic. Man crush is growing!

    • 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.
