Jones - an indefatigable leader

A lot of right statements but a few well off in my opinion.

 

Oliver gets 26 touches and 6 score involvements and we’re like “meh” 


Brendon Bolton - won't sleep tonight

His team got picked apart at the seams. Great performance from the Dee's, insipid performance by Carlton players.

I said that at half time in the game day thread. I thought he was average and only had 8-9 possessions, had a look and he was leading all with 14.

A broken finger and surgery earlier in the week will do that...!

Fritsch - continues to impress [QD says: plays nice foil]

Hogan - couldn’t get going [QD says: Joeboy under appreciates]

Harmes - impressive grunt work [QD says: now best 22]

Oliver - probably broke even [QD says: Joeboy under sells]

Viney - understandably limited output [QD says: clearly under done]

Smith - tough and uncompromising [QD says: worth persisting with]

Spargo - dropped for Garlett [QD says: 200 gamer here]

Salem - quieter but classy [QD says: looking more confident]

Brayshaw - impressive and inspiring [QD says: thinks he belongs]

Hibberd - there when needed [QD says: tough, uncompromising, committed]

Jetta - quiet but effective [QD says: finding new role]

Lever - impressive and safe [QD says: better understanding role]

O.McDonald - under little pressure [QD says: easy day out]

Vince - disposal sometimes worrying [QD says: scrapes into side]

Lewis - the backline marshall [QD says: mops up well]


Most are spot on, although the comments on Spargo are way off the mark.  Unless they want to rest him there is no chance he is getting dropped for Garlett.  His footy smarts, toughness and pressure acts are invaluable at the moment.

I’m disappointed at the lack of Clarry Choo Choo love in your favourite player section.


Hogan, Look closer please

Jono Brown talked it up during the game, he ended up with 4 direct goal assists and a hand in multiple others. Great sign of maturity that he doesn't have to kick a bag to have a big impact on the game. Suggest joeboy has another look at the game.

Tough on Vince. He had one bad kick out and everyone acts like he's a massive liability. Been solid all season.

Very enjoyable Sunday!!

Yup he'll have one bad kick and at the same time be the player willing to take the risks successfully kicking down the corridor when our backs are against the wall. Really important player at the moment. Was more worried about him trying to take players out again rather then the one errant kick.

  • 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.
