So, quick refresher - anyone out there still want to claim Marc Murphy is overrated?

If he was on our list right now we'd have the big piece we're missing and would be legitimately anticipating a grand final.

    I wonder if boy wonder, Cripps, gets off for the tackle that rammed Swallow's head into the ground and he didn't come back on.

    But Cripps is in the running for the Brownlow and the AFL would love to see him win it so the MRO may well weasel word an excuse to get him off.

    Can't believe Carlton beat GCS who beat Sydney last week.  It is a very strange game, this aussie rules!

    No way that Cripps gets suspended. Wasn’t even a particularly strong tackle. Swallow just st unlucky

    Is it too much to expect a win to WCE and upsets in the other two games today? 

    ha, maybe.. but its fair to say that we're all hoping for that to happen.

    Not this Demonlander.  Absolutely hoping for a Norf win as I don't accept WCE have 2nd spot (and home finals) locked away, nor that a top 4 spot is beyond the Dees.    It is pointless us hoping for everyone outside the eight to fall away, just so we can fall in to finals.  Someone will be there with 13 wins.  We need to win our way in to finals and strive to get a double chance, hopefully with as many Victorian based clubs in the top 4 as possible.

    I'll be cheering on the WB today, should be atrocious cold conditions today and a poor spectacle, Dogs to scrap it out, Port are pretenders.

    "Central for Sunday Very high chance of showers. Snow falling above 900 metres. The chance of a thunderstorm from late this morning. Gusty winds and possible hail. Winds NW 30 to 45 km/h turning W 35 to 55 km/h. Daytime maximum temperatures between 9 and 14."

    It is freezing here in Ballarat top of 9, hope the doggies get up 

    I still think Ballarat is the coldest place I've ever been to. I remember sitting at that train station one morning when it was snowing and windy, will never forget it, thought I was going to die.

    Not with Shuey and Kennedy out. Shuey's is "personal reasons" while Kennedy is general soreness...

    Dogs deserve it but fascinating that they are paid by the State Government to play in Ballarat but we have to go to NT to get our dollars.

    Would love to be on  a deal to play in Mildura instead of Darwin

    Yep totally with you. Tipped the Doggies, let’s hope they have a blinder and send these floppers packing.

    North are blessed down in Tassie. First time I can recall North kicking to the left of screen in the first quarter and there’s no wind blowing down there.

    Kicked it.

    Theatre.  If a player threw the ball up like that at any other part of the ground it wouldn't go up 5cm before being called a throw.  If a defender did it they'd be laughed out of the league.

    I tend to agree. It was a great goal, but he certainly threw it up in the air before connecting with the ball.

    • 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.
