    This clearly shows, from my interpretation of the season, that we are a truly good side getting better. If we have received the most goals from frees in the fwd50, and we have consistently lost out on poor decisions against us in the fwd50 to the distinct advantage of other teams, particularly 'big' teams, then: OVERCOMING THE PRIOR MISSED GOALS AND KICKING ONE OF THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF GOALS IN THE COMPETITION, WE ARE GOING VERY WELL. IT IS A MATTER OF HOW MANY GOALS THE UMPIRES AWARD TO OUR OPPONENTS IN ANY GAME THAT DETERMINES  THE SEASON RANKING. DOMINANCE HAS TO BE COUNTERED, OVERCOME, EVENED AND BRUSHED ASIDE.

    One thing that annoys me about that stat is, when we take a mark and there is some interference they pay a free (to us) and  it is recorded as a free. Goal from a free when we had the mark anyway! Makes the figures look good for the umps.

    Well if we have kicked the most goals SURELY channel 7 would love us on a Friday night. With all the goal breaks the advertising guru's would spend more. Open your eyes 7 and AFL and make it happen.

    True, but they are more likely to get the AFL to change the rules to ensure 'big' teams can kick more goals.

    Just noticed we have scored 1561 points (average 104 = 17.3 goals) with the next nearest Richmond 1461 (average 97 = 16.1 goals) after the last round. Simple really. Goals = breaks = $$$$ in revenue. Carlton 942 points (average 62.8 = 10.4 goals) and St Kilda 1055 points (average 70.3 = 11.7 goals).   Hmmmm channel 7 missing the plot here.

    Classic, tidy up the backline, who knows what might happen? Decent fullback, CHBack able to adjust this year, another tall mobile.

    This is the long-term worry that has besieged us for so long and now it is so terribly evident as a form of manipulated earnings.

    You mean they have found the blues paper bags from the 70s ?

    If we could only get maximum return from our inside 50s and not squander them as against Geelong, GC, St K, PA and Freo we would not need to add much to our backline and we would have three more wins.

    Dare to dream.

    This makes me mad. We get bent over week after week with dubious decisions by the umpiring. Yet here Woosha get up and has a crack. Where is Goodwin or other leaders at the club protesting about the run we get with them. Stand for something! Bloody annoying. 

    I'm the opposite. To me it smacks of Woosha having a whinge and blaming the umps publicly for why they are losing to deflect from them having a terrible year. I would hate Goody coming out and complaining about the umpires. gives the players an out.

    To a normal onlooker, in a normal, not coercionable, sincere  competition that would be correct, but.........

    Today's game confirmed for me what I thought has been happening for a while.

    On 2 separate occasions a player was lining up for a shot on goal and a voice came over the umpires earpiece saying '15 seconds', the umpire would then tell the kicker that 15 seconds had gone.

    Umpires are taking directions from a 3rd party. Who is that, and why?

    Umps were terrible today. Terrible.  One sided towards the dogs.   Dees should ask for some explanations. Salem’s roll tackles given push in the back when it copied so many of the dogs tackles.  Ridiculous.

    And they overlooked so many blatant throws, and also many incorrect disposals.

    And don't start me on that prima donna Chamberpot - he just cant resist making it all about him!

    Multiple times Dogs ran too far with it, invaded the "protected" zone, threw it like it was water polo, and Hogan and McDonald T were not playing on footballers, they were playing on Greco-Roman wrestlers.


    Business as usual for the umps.

    Harmes handball in a tackle dribbles into the point post. Deliberate!!! Goal to dogs

    johanussen runs it through the goals under no pressure with only a demon being 10 metres away. Point. 

    Unbelievably bad umpiring

    What's he got to complain about? He gets kissed on the dick down Kardinia Park.

    • 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.
