Effort is there.

 

Just some polish and we can absolutely win this.

    Surprised they're not finding a way to pay frees against us. 

    Unbelievable eh

    There's that last-second goal concession that we all knew was coming… 

    I spoke too soon. He's missed it. He's missed everything. That's very big for our confidence (mine at least) that we go in ahead at the break.

    It’s amazing how Dangerfield can scoop / throw out the ball right in front of an umpire and it’s play on.

    Think we will loose this unfortuanlty, have all the footy but kicking behinds and kicking it with pinpoint accuracy to their defenders

    My gut feel is similar. It has the makings of one of those games. The Port game, The North game last year, hell even the Freo game in 2002 where we led slightly at half time and Farmer daggered us on the siren.

    Man I hope I'm wrong

    Yet we can handball...and get pinged for throwing !!

    It's the Belmont effect !! ?

    Or how Tuohy can fend off a tackler, turn 180 degrees, take a step and then get nailed and he's had no prior opportunity.

    Considerable difference in interpretation on tackles. Shame the umpires can't mute the crowd sound

    We are still long bombing into the forward 50. Doesn't work on the narrow Geelong ground. LOWER THE EYES!

    Belmont? But I agree interesting what Danger gets away with and the snickey ruck nomination in front of goal was a classic. We just have to be aware that they are sly bastards. Rule needs to be changed.

    Harmes to Danger or Lewis to injure him. Pick an option.

    Being the usual enigma that he is 

    I feel like I haven’t even seen him at all.. not injured or anything? 


    We need to keep the effort and we're a chance. Try to go through the middle more and take our chances. Do we move Harmes onto Danger or keep Selwood under control?

    Hate mentioning it...does Chunk EVER look where he's kicking ?? Ffs ...kills momentum and effort

     

    Loving the effort, loving the pressure and loving the fact that, in hostile territory, we are more than serving it up to the enemy.

    We are right in this contest, and if we can keep the scoreboard pressure up then a win is there for the taking!

    • 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.
