Dumb dumb dumb - so much dumb footy. Expecting us to eventually click and turn it around and convert all the hard work and domination into goals.

    Tom McDonald has to play FF. Stop playing him up the ground. He is a gun tall forward!!!!!

    Nice end to the quarter.


    welcome back .. everyone

    that quarter was a roller coaster

    From the AFL site:

    Melbourne surrendered the lead during the quarter but take a 22-point lead to half time. The Demons have gone inside forward 50 on 45 occasions, the highest half time tally by the club on record and by any team since Adelaide in Round 10 2017.

    We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

    Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

    Take out the inside 50 disposal and we are playing some pretty good football.

    But once again we have no idea how to get it to a player inside our 50.

    We overhanball which means when they are ready to kick the forwards have already lead and are now out of position.

    Fix those up and we would be 10 goals up. Gotta ensure we don’t give them a sniff.

    Sh*t like that annoys me from Brayshaw. He has clearly called for the ball (when he was under the pump), its sh*t like that - that makes me pull my hair out. I haven't got much left either.

    he is insanely overrated by posters here! fumbles all the time and has [censored] disposal no pace, has played 1 decent game this year and everyone lauding him as better than petracca and Oliver lol

    We had both of our tall forwards playing up the field for far too long.  So many missed opportunities as a result and some poor finish from other smaller forwards has resulted in a very ordinary return for so many entries.  We also fail to hit enough leading targets, again due to both talls playing too much time high up.

    Fix up the basic structures and keep a balance and we would be in front by 7 or 8 goals by now.

    Very strange coaching which has hopefully been corrected in those last 10 minutes or so.


    Agree leave tommy in the forward line. He has great hands. 

    Better end to the quarter. I hope we go on with this and win well.

    Hoges has had few stats but is leading the Kms with just over 8. Weideman second with 7.5kms

    Interesting.....

    Curnow will. That was pretty stupid

     

    We are winning all the stats.Tommy showing he wants to be the number 1 forward and Harmes showing he does not want the swap with Viney next week. Salem does 1 lazy thing for every two good things which frustrates me. They are structuring well behind the ball and our kick into 50 has been poor. Clean that up and we will sail home, dont and we leave them hanging in the game to our peril. They will come out hard and persevere so lets put them away early.

    • 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.
