Superb win today.  We were tough, we ran them ragged and didn't give up, even in the last term when we were out on our legs.

If anyone complains about us stopping in the last term then don't listen to them.  Seriously, we've just played our third game in twelve days and we were always going to get tired.  We did the right thing by kicking 2 quick goals to start off the term and we killed off the contest.

The big positive for me was the game of Gus Brayshaw.   32 touches and plenty of clearances was bloody brilliant.  The confidence is back and, outside of a few poor kicks, he is showing the footy world why he was the third pick in his draft year.  What an addition he is to the side.

Hogan has continued his great season, Jones was terrific and our backline is working an absolute treat now.  Our forward line worked well again, too.

With Viney and Salem to potentially come back into the side we are really getting things going, now.  I'll take the 39 point win and if anyone is annoyed about giving up a few late ones then just laugh at them.  This is a fantastic performance from the side after some serious game time in the last week and a half.

    Not even close to good enough.

    Would have been an 80+ point win if we had any semblance of killer instinct.

    We got the choccies... let's not get too carried away

    Their kicking... atrocious. Flattered us somewhat.

    On the plus...better use of the ground. Better linking. 

    Long way to go ;)

    4 points. ..is 4 points

    Wins are good!  We win when we should that’s now done.  Still need to get ruthless and not leak goals.  Percentage is going to decide our fate.  Must not leak late goals.

    Just when we desperately need percentage we go to sleep and gift them two goals, ..not tough enough

    We win a game of footy by close to 7 goals and do it with ease, and this is the garbage our supporters serve up.  You should be embarrassed.

    We played really well for 3 quarters. Positioned ourselves beautifully to pile on a 60+ point win, but went to sleep in the last quarter.

    Thats 2 weeks in a row we have clocked off in the last quarter.

    Gus and Clarrie were fantastic. Yes the game wasn’t perfect, but was very concerned with this after two games so close together before so personally I am happy we won the last quarter despite the Saints having few on the bench.

     

    need to build on this, win the next two and get structures right so we are full of confidence comes the game against the Crows

    Good easy win, BUT STOP GIVING UP EASY GOALS AT THE END OF QUARTERS!!! 

    Those last two goals from the saints were so soft and all because we had decided the game was done. We should’ve won today by 60+, still no kill instinct. In the position we were in so many other teams would’ve powered on and murdered the Saints instead we given them charity goals at the end. 

    Its the next step we need to take and we seem to refuse to do it. 

    Saying that, happy with the win. Let’s get some momentum.

    A wins a win. Years gone past we would of dropped that. Need to back this up and carry momentum fwd.

    A couple of ptetty serious issues need to be adressed. Our handballs in close are some of the worst. We really need to clean that up. Plenty of times today we could cleared congestion with a well placed kick.

    The two negatives are we did stop. They had 1 fit player on the bench. Shouldn’t have let them back it, you can trace their goals all back to over handballing which is a massive problem. They need to know when to play for meterage.

     

    positives is we cracked in, Brayshaw was great, Jetta also great, Fritsch looked good , Harmes did some nice things this week. Lever looked good and Gawn was fantastic.

    Oliver I love but he does over do the handballing at times.

    It's true though. We miss finals by less than 1% last year, and 2 weeks in a row we have had teams beat and couldn't punish them. Hawthorn were absolutrly ruthless with us a few weeks back.

    That being said, the first 3 quarters were very good. We had control of the game, applied good consistent pressure, and had an even spread of contributors.

    Yes I agree, it was prob a 7/10 performance considering the opposition and still won by 7 goals.

    Yes disappointing to concede the last 2 goals but there are more important things to work on.

    Lets face it Wiseblood, its a lot easier to point out the one or two bad points in a few sentences, rather than have the intelligence to critique the game....

    Wake up to yourself this will come back and haunt us at the business end of the season.

    • 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.
