Great half in terms of responding to a challenge. Lever down, Melksham and T. Smith are both carrying knocks. We really need to blow the doggies away in the 3rd. If we give them a sniff for the final qtr they might outlast us.

That's my worry. Need to blow them away. We'll run out of legs. AFL should not be giving us a 6 day break after NT.

    We're not playing well, but let's be realistic - we aren't going to play well every single week.  Some games will be a struggle.  It's how we respond that matters.

    After them kicking the first 3, having lots of cheap frees and winning the clearances, we showed the maturity to steady and kick 7 of the next 8.  Our older heads stood up, while Macca and Hogan stood up in the forward line.  We are cleaner, smarter and better, but allowing the Dogs to drag us down to their level.

    I'm still confident for the second half but it won't be a 10 goal win.

    what's going on with hibberd? fumbling and butchering the ball frequently today

     

    Midfield need to work harder on the clearances. That’s what’s keeping the dogs in the game.

    Gotta start getting on top in clearances. Do that and we will easy and take pressure off the backline without Lever. 

    Jetta is unbelievable. A beast!

    Lever a possible bone bruise (at best) or a lateral for 4 to 6 (at worst).  Done for the day if someone hasnt't already mentioned

    You reckon luck will go the way of the Dees ever? Get a kpp gun & goes down with injury ..,

    Lever update please have a heart attack here

    Is apparently walking in the rooms and most likely a bone bruise (maybe 4 weeks max at worst)....don't hold me to any of that though


    Good 2nd quarter.  Hope we keep it going. Jetta has been outstanding and have loved gawns tackling.  Keep it up boys

    [censored] I suppose better than the ACL! 

    Fingers crossed not too serious. 

    This is going to be a struggle. Dogs love to play boring low scoring rubbish. They have held us very well. With one down and 2 not fully fit, this will be a big ask. Especially off a short break. 

    51 point win coming up

    RN, that is sensational news in the scheme of things, particularly if you're paranoid (like me) when it comes to these things.


    Same knee that Lever had the reco on a few years ago.

    I dont think its gonna be good news. I hope Im wrong.

    The only positive thing is that we have an 8 day break coming up and then the bye.  Hopefully Lever may just miss a week and return after the bye.

    Umps have been pathetic. Almost like the AFL told them to make sure it’s a contest and not another trashing. 

    Tbh I've not really noticed the other two just the toerag Ray.

    How many frees does Ray Chmberlin pay when he is not central umpire?! Ridiculous [censored] amounts.

    Smith poleaxed in the back off the ball, no free.

    Jetta what a guy, steady the ship Neville.

    We look a little warn and sore but we should get up.

    You never now when Lucifer's big ass boot is gonna get lodged between our sticks RTG.  All we can do each day is hope to avoid the [censored] and if we can't, at least make sure it doesn't turn into a goal


    Listening to dogs fans they  r complaing about umpires.

    We can hope, but not unheard of to be walking after an acl.

    Fingers and toes.

    Razor is an absolute tool.

    Just hope we have enough petrol in the tanks to finish the second half well.

    • 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.
