Jones - age catching up

Viney - great when unburdened

Fritsch - was all class

Hogan - ten minute game

Harmes - played with heart

Brayshaw - prolific but wasteful 

Lewis - often a liability

Melksham - playing slow motion

T.McDonald - was probably injured

Neal-Bullen - an irrelevant player

Petracca - plenty of nothing

Tyson - a dumb player

Weideman - nothing to commend

Gawn - one man team

Hannan - devoid of ability

Hibberd - reduced to amateurish

Oliver - rarely found space

Petty - debut to forget

Salem - undisciplined and disappointing 

Smith - little to praise

Jetta - was still concussed

O.McDonald - was emphatically embarrassing

    Selection = Some pace please

    I'm not saying we have much in this area but FCS time to roll the dice on anyone with a bit of toe.  Time for Baker, Stretch and last roll for Garlett.

    Disagree with a lot of this.

    Hibberd played well. Salem was good. Smith was good. Jones was good. Lewis made blunders, but his composure and skill was first class again.

    i actually thought that nathan Jones was good. I thought him and gawn were standouts wih fritsch being serviceable. everyone else was disgusting. where was the defensive mindset? weak as p!$$

    Thought Petracca played better this week. Gawn was excellent. Clarity down on usual.

    Nitpicking over individual performances is pointless after a game like todays.

     We got beat by a team that was better on the day.

    That being said, Dom Tyson sucks.

    Harsh on Hibbo. Never stopped working. The rest are probably right, maybe Salem and Smith were a little stiff as well.

    BB29 I disagree about Petracca, disappears for loooong stretches of the game, then does something brilliant ( this is frustrating) This is the first time I reckon I think StK got it right by selecting McCartin

    Interesting, is it about expectation based the Trac’s potential? I thought he battled on today and did some good things but yes he could not turn the game on it’s head. But I can’t remember him being responsible for an absolute howler whereas how many of our guys coughed up the ball with embarrassing errors? 

    We all hope for more but today he put in, I thought.

    disagree with Hibberd, thought he was best backman, agree about TMac and Nev, both shouldn't have played. And at the moment Hannan is a complete waste of space, Jeffy would have given a contest, this bloke is scared of contact!!!!

    Pass Marks:

    Gawn

    Hibbo

    Fritsch

    Harmes

    Viney

    Brayshaw ** (was lazy with disposal - but tried)

    That's it. Honestly, that is all i can find. i think Salem tried and others as well, but trying hard should be mandatory.

    • 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.
