Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

I didn’t even know he was out there, this can’t be helping his confidence. 

 

Hogan is a beast 

Got howled down by the nuffies on here last week saying we should drop Weideman.  Open your eyes, he is so far from AFL level it’s laughable.

    Game is closer than the score shows thanks to their kicking. We are over possessing and too many cute kicks but moving the ball more aggressively than we have all year. Brayshaw and Tyson both been very good but both have had some clangers. Our forward smalls play too high and we aren’t capitalising at the drop of the contest in 50. Need to get a couple of early ones and put them away.

    I must be watching a diff game. Tyson has been caught twice and lucky not to be pinged for another few. Disposal has been average.

     

    Better 2nd half, but he has to get rid of ball quicker and cleaner.

    The score line definitely flatters us. We are about even. Only difference is they can’t kick.

    Yeah totally agree. We were reasonable in the first and pretty average in the second. Need to go for the first option a bit more. We also started to look a bit lost going into forward 50. Need to bring it down and get some forward pressure.

    Harmes has been decent, ANB not so much. Loving Jones’ game again today. He’s been good his year.

    Cmon Dees go on with it and build percentage!

    If i can put it another way..Harmes...some good...a lil very good...rest meh... result..about even..

    Nibbler..done some good things...stuffs his finish...a few bad boo-boos. Result.... negative.

    You're quickly becoming a poster not worth reading, timbo.


    Percentage time.

    We really aren't playing that well. Conceding soft goals as well. I want a ripping last quarter 

    I’m so angry with that last goal, so soft and yet I could feel it coming. 

    Jones has been great today except for the two play ons when he shouldn’t have but at least he was having a go.

    I know we need to have high expectations, but we're up by 6 goals.  Scratch that, 7.

    You guys are ridiculous sometimes.  Opposition sides WILL kick goals and WILL have some good pieces of play.  That's footy.  We've just had far more of them.

    Hard to believe some of the negativity reading through this thread you would think we are 40 points down, not 50 pts up with a quarter to go. far cry from a few years ago hey...

    Jones looks like a liability sometimes but jesus he works hard so impressive.

    should never play on he is too damn slow

     

    Weed kicks 2 and keeps his spot.

     

    Cmon sweet, sweet %

    Ten goal win is a minimum.

    Good to see Weideman take his chances.

    ANB missed a tackle earlier on a player who was already being tackled by Jones. So in effect, he missed a tackle on a player who not only wasn’t moving but couldn’t move.

    • 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.
