Wish I had been to that 200 Grand Final. Those were the days !! They knew how to play footy back then. It was more of a Greco-Roman style, free flowing entertaining. 

No you don't... like the '88 GF it wasn't a great day for the MFC.

Now the week before against North was something to see

    Obviously haven't got their 6 goals from frees and 50's like last week. Also the Port forwards and mids are putting on pressure, unlike us.

    Saints proving today that our defence was actually worse than it appeared last week.

    I know we have been playing badly. But do we want West Coast and Collingwood to win (hurting chances of top 4 - I know dreaming) or do we want The other results to bolster our chances of top 8?

    Good question. Flip a coin.

    Either a game out of the top 4, or ta bit of clearance on two teams fighting with us to make finals.

    Maybe we get 1 of each.

    Gil has clearly given strict instructions to give collingwood a shoulder ride deep into September. 

    Makes sense a pies v tigers grandfinal would just be a cash cow for the [censored] to line his pockets with.

    I’d prefer Pies and Eagles to win. I’d rather make finals more of a certainty than the pipe dream of top 4. We’re going to struggle to make the 8 as it is, so we need results to go our way.

    Bombers very competitive against the Pies today. Wish we showed the same endeavor when playing at the MCG!

    yep... the loss to Port and Saints certainly ended any realistic chances of top 4.

    A resurgent Essendon would be hard to take.

    Perhaps a draw would be pleasant .. if not Pies.

    North having a good win doesn't help much either.

    Collingwood loss would be good opens up one spot in the 4 still. 

    WC will win be good to keep GWS at bay.

    Forget top 4. We’re not deserving of a top 4 finish and will be lucky to make the 8 with our fixture to finish the year.

    I’d be happier to concede top 4 spot to Pies (who are better than us) than battle a resurgent Essendon who have an easier fixture.

    I'm with you, Trav.  As much as I feel dirty for saying it, the Pies winning today is good for us.  The Eagles doing the same will also come in handy as I think both are pretty much assured a Top 4 spot and we won't catch them.  Having the Bombers and Giants drop games on a weekend we win one is important.

    Last week most results went our way, but so far this round with Geelong, North and Hawthorn winning, it's the opposite.

    Ideally we need Collingwood and West Coast to win as that gives us a two-game and 30% buffer over Essendon and Adelaide. At this point reducing the number of sides who can take our spot in the 8 is better than sides above us losing and opening up a spot in the top 4 we're not good enough to take.

    Currently both Collingwood and West Coast are losing, though.

    To make the top 4 we will have to beat some very good teams to close out the year.

    We would be more than deserving.  You don't make the top 4 without earning it.

    Exactly. It’s Clayton’s logic to suggest we don’t deserve the top 4 just because another club failed to make it. It means *they* don’t deserve top 4.

    Anyway, I’ve said I don’t care how other club results affect us. Win the games of footy and ladder position will take care of itself; we won’t need to worry about the teams behind us then. I point blank refuse to barrack for Essendon or Collingwood. I hate them both and wish they could both lose.

    Collingwood will miss Dunn bad for the rest of the season. McKernan having a huge marking day deep forward.

    That's absolutely right, we control our own destiny. The Geelong, Adelaide, West Coast and Sydney games are all intriguing and important for us.

    Regardless, I just can't help but consider how games not involving Melbourne could impact on us.

    • 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.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
