No one is up in arms about Wattsy now !! Great game by everyone. So much aggression and energy.

I'd prefer Spargo to him. Spargo works his butt off, without any hoity-toity smugness.

I'd prefer 'el-gato' to him, as well. We have a beaut.

    If you go into a oppo player to belittle him, it can go either way. Against a strong side down on form, being arrogant can cause the oppo side to fire up.

    Or give them ammunition for when they are back to full strength, for next time.

     

    This is how I would hope our players would react, in that case.

    You can't be 'dee-luded'!

    You seem a far more cheerful and well rounded character.  Might I also say far more worldly and balanced in perspective...

    ...sorry to 'dee-luded', no offence intended, I always found your posts entertaining and 'colourful' in more ways than one...

    Trying to keep a lid on things after this win is tough.

    Fortunately my football knowledge is terrible, which makes things a little easier.

     

    In 2016, I thought the Dogs had no chance. Premiers.

    In 2017, I thought the Tigers had no chance. Premiers.

    I think the Dees have no chance in 2018.

    Just watching the full first half

    Brooooose is just appalling - practically orgasmic every time Eddie goes anywhere near the ball and so cringeworthy  deferential to the woman glasser. 

    And I never thought that Clarrie’s hands could get quicker .... but they have.  Truly amazing 

    Could have been better - actually stuffed up about 4 opportunities in Q2 in possession in deep F50  - should have won by 120+ ( I know I am getting hard to satisfy)

    Haha same!!

    Hibbo best on first qtr and a half with Gus close behind, Crows were not great but came a few times and really put the pressure on and got back to 18 points before we went again. But of credit to the Dees please.

    Besides a couple of smothers Talia was given a bath.

    Graphic comes up 5 mins later showing the ground is not as wide as the G

    I noticed that when Mackay fumbled that ball and Melksham pounced, no one went and got stuck in, I think Melksham thought about it for a split second but just celebrated with Hogan. Petracca was in the vicinity too. No doubt in my mind they would’ve been all over Mackay last year. 

    No doubt Goodwin’s message of being a strong but humble footy team is sinking in. 

     

    For the record I wouldn’t let Mackay hear the end of it. 

    Hogan on Mirra earlier this year.

    The ground is longer but narrower than the G, something that shocked me. Bruce claimed it feels wider than it is, to me, I always felt the ground was smaller in all dimensions in comparison to the G.

    maybe, just maybe keeping the lid on,,, has its benefits..... over recent years?

    The ground is wider on the flanks giving it a more “rectangular” feel than the MCG. I think that maybe where the deception comes in..

    "No, it is because the Crows have been utter crap today, Bruce, and the Dees have hit a real patch of form".

    Yeah.  It was so unusual for a team not to get stuck into a player in that situation it was very noticeable.  It's clearly been an instruction from Goodwin and I like it.  Reverse arrogance :)

    Although you can see Petracca saying a few words to him (but not looking at him) as he was walking off.

    I like it. Perhaps is a correction from last year, when we were arguably "too unsociable" (think Bugg, Vince, Lewis, Hogan all suspended). It is a fine line, but we seem to have got the balance better this year.

    All this positive press makes me uneasy and I want to see us do it over a long period but bloody hell it feels exciting like we could be on the cusp of something really special.

    That's precisely how I feel.

    I'm concerned about the OTT stuff being said about us (we're not premiership favourites FFS) and, like many, I'd love to see us play like this against a stronger side than North Melbourne or a two-thirds-strong Adelaide.

    But I love feeling like we're a genuine top-flight club. I love knowing that we play the most exciting football in the league bar none, but that we're also the best side at contested ball (by a mile, too). I love feeling confident and I love having genuine belief.

    • 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.
