The cards are unsettled today, my friends. The minor arcana hint at difficulties with opposing forces, and the revealing of the Chariot was perplexing, to say the least. The adjacency of the Hanged Man and The World could suggest a fast, open game but, then again, when The Magician appeared, could it imply a slog, with too many defensive roles for an attractive game.

Dees by 13 points.

Whoa, that's deep man.

 

WE just need to win. Simple as that if we want to stay in the top 8. There midfield concerns me with the lack of midfield we have with our 2 leaders out. 

Hope Jesse does well, and I want to see Lewis and Bernie show some strong leadership today. 

Also no undisciplined acts please. We cant afford to lose anymore players. Come on Melbourne!

Bolton keen for the players to ignore cheapshot FC & play disciplined footy. Should send the whole team out wearing helmets
 
 

That is just so hilarious, what a total Gag Man

Carlscum....

I have the same feeling I had going into the North Freo and Hawthorn games games on our home deck we should win. Hopefully a different result

Win this and we'll win the Grand Final. 

Lose and we'll finish bottom four.

That's the stuff Ethan. No wishy washy half arsed comments.


For these reciprocal games at the G, where do our members usually all sit? Behind the goals at the city end?

I reckon we will win if we score more than the Blues!

You could be right 

I think we have them covered in both our forward and defensive lines. I am however concerned about the midfield. Their midfield is in form and we really need Oliver, Petracca, and the old boys (Lewis and Vince) to fire in order to neutralise Cripps, Gibbs, Murphy, and Docherty.

I'm currently away so I'll will be watching from the couch. At least I have my fishing rod on standby for if things go pair shaped and I need to calm the nerves (my second religion).

1 hour to go......


Need a big one from Clarry and Max. 

Least that spud Curnow won't be scragging us today?

On would and up would.

Let's get it Done Dees!

Surprised to see Petracca on the starting bench:  Christian Petracca, Billy Stretch, Cameron Pedersen, Josh Wagner

Hope he doesn't get stuck there for 12 minutes like Clarrie did at the start of the Sydney game. 

Would prefer he starts on the field - we need the best possible start from the first bounce.

Agreed. How often is MFC a goal down after 1/2 minutes? Answer: too often.

Keeping him fresh for his last quarter heroics.

Yep must hold the record for most goals conceded in the first minute of quarters.

Not long now

Dean Kent to silence all those who have written him off.

23 possessions, 7 tackles, 4 goals

Saints win over the tigs was huge. I thought it may be saints dropping out but they have shown they are a real contender.Must win today. Our destiny is there for the taking.

 

Every game is 'season defining'.  Teams are roosters and feather dusters every other week.  Craziest season of football.

dees have to keep winning.  Find a way, boys.

  • 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.
