Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok.

    If you compare our forward syngery this week with previous weeks, it is miles apart. I don't know how many times Petracca knocked over his team mates and then fumbled the ball.

    We've been rattled by the Collingwood affair and seem to be lacking confidence (Hogan and Petracca in particular). 

    +1

    We are a couple of kicks away from smashing this. Open the forward line a little. Push Hannan and Melksham wider. TMac, Hoges and Tracs within 20 metres of goal.

    Umps trying to even up the game again. Been saying it for 12 months. Last two nights [censored] obvious 

    stats can be a bloody nuisance during a match.

    umpiring stats should be kept private from the umps, until after the game.

    Missing a small forward likeJeffy. He would have got two by now with the amount of inside 50 ‘s we have had.

    Yep and have said it all along

    T smith Fritcsh, Harmes Neal Bullen Hogan all very poor!

    Career defining game for some!

    We should be well up! Inside 50ts Obliterating opposition!

    Don't think we can do it

    Endeavour great but No finishing class 

    Over it!

    We are smashing them everywhere except for the scoreboard. Hinckley will be telling the Port players they are lucky to not be 10 goals behind. We’ve missed easy chances and our forward entries have been a disgrace. TMac and Hogan must be scratching their heads wondering what the midfield are thinking. 

    I see one of two things happening. 

    1) we keep dominating the clearances and continue getting multiple inside 50s whereby we will actually get out sh_t together and win in a canter. 

    Or 2) they work us out and we kick ourselves for not taking our opportunities when we had them.

    Certainly feels that way. I can understand the Tyson in move, but Tyson for Spargo has left us a small scrapper down. 

    But there are a few players we're not getting enough out of, even if the intensity is there: Harmes, T Smith, even a few in the backline even though the ball has hardly been down there: Salem, Joel Smith. I can understand them keeping Fritsch up the ground because of his ball use, but we need a couple of smarter players closer to goal.

    Hogan is not the problem. Port are successfully holding us up at the wing, flooding, and he is surrounded by 4 or 5 guys at every contest. There has been zero adjustment. He needs to move up the ground and we need to be cleaner across the middle of the ground. It is not so much delivery going forward that is killing us. We are simply allowing them the freedom to flood.

    Not saying he is the problem just that he is out of form. Friday night and a big game is were he should dominating. Instead he is missing chest marks and not reading the play.


    How could any sane person say that was not high on Viney?

    Good goal.

    Why is max tapping goal side when rucking in defensive 50?

    was about to post how long for us to kick a goal this quarter? Good to see it wasn't another 10-15 minute dry-spell.

    Too bad about the quick reply

    For those getting stuck into hogan, he has covered the 5th highest distance on the ground. He’s working hard but not being rewarded by his team mates

    No one is having a go. Running that distance is of no use if you are paid to be a goal kicker, 

    he just doesn’t seem to know what he should be doing,

     

    That was a better set up Bull

    • 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.
