It was pretty awesome watching Lewis kick a goal after the siren after being booed all game following the round 2 fiasco. Blues supporters were burning.

We'll win by 80+ imo.

 

Only thing that would please me more than another win by the same margin again would be proving their medicos to be the liars that they are.

Looking at our team above we really did have a makeshift midfield against them that day. Some big names missing.


Hey @Demonland - recently your centre-line has been represented by an amused emoticon for some reason. At first I thought it was me, but I think now it's you.

Looking like an almost perfect day for Footy next Sunday

16 degrees maximum with light winds and 0.4mm of rain (30-40% chance).

Strangely similar to that day against the Hawks recently....... (oh Hell !)

Great point.  We had only 1 A grader in the midfield in Oliver.  They had Cripps, Murphy, Gibbs, Curnow,...

Different story this week.

Oliver, Jones, Viney, Tyson, Harmes (building into this role), Gawn (back to best c.f. last year),

Salem also missed that day. I found that game one of the most nerve-racking last season for some reason. 

That was the “ What a ball from Neville Jetta” game.


I am worried about this week. We should win but it will be tight.

Hope Oliver plays H2H on Cripps.

I remember thinking despite Carlton being an average side it was one of our best wins of the year because we were absolutely smashed with injury for that match

Too right! Cripps needs a lesson in execution.

This is a distinct danger game. We should win, and win well, but Carlton will put in for four quarters. Will we?

1m14sec just amazing

My favourite moment from last year.  Carlton had players out everywhere.  If we lost that contest we lost the game.  Just the speed he gets back to his feet and sprints to the right spot.  I could watch it all day.

  • 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.
