Adelaide at their best, at home, and with our outs would be enough for them to get over the line but are they at their best or close to that form? They struggle with pressure and I'm convinced especially after last week we'll bring it. Our form against Geelong impressed me so much and with no changes to the lineup we'll build on last week. With that the Crows will need to play really well to beat our pressure, I don't think they can, I see us being too determined and ultimately too good.

    Dees to win by 42 points and fire up some confidence to win all remaining games. We should beat them

    Good news - the ladder is opening up nicely.

    Bad news - we are Melbourne.

    I predict:

    Easy goals out the back

    Bombing long to forward line

    Goodwin to persist with poor match ups

    But we still win by 7 goals?


    Wowee, by oh boy.

    Another big test again tonight vs the Crows in Adelaide.    

    And what better antidote to last weeks heartbreak than moving a step closer to a finals spot while simultaneously ending the Crows season.

    Lets get it on!

    One week at a time, that's all we can do now. A win tonight and we continue to march towards finals. A loss and we will have to beat the good sides they are all saying we can't.

    Dees by 59.

    Hogan BOG.

    This is how we should be every week from pre-season on.

    One week at a time, stay focused,,,  'or mindful', of what we're doing. not getting ahead.

     

    All the same thing... remain focused on the challenge right before us.

    I don't think we've nailed this focus, just yet.

    I think we'll start slow but then thump them tbh.

    We don't want to start slow. We can't play catch up footy tonight.... because we won't catch up. 

    Need to start in front to end in front

    I believe, rather ironically, that by focusing on the classic one week at a time, the challenge before us it will give our coaching staff the ability to focus on the longer term.

     

    Funny game...

    Don't you go getting all serious on me Roost, game hasn't even started yet mate! :lol:


    Seriously, if all the talk pre season and during season about ‘hurting’ after last year’s debacles and last week’s heartbreaking loss, doesn’t amount to a life or death performance tonight, nothing EVER will

    Not watching tonight. Hurt hand last week punch the floor. Not this week.

    Absolutely pumped for tonight

    should  be a cracking contest

    I’m not opposed to Pedersen playing if he plays very well

    Hopefully we can find out pre-game if he’ll play very well.

    Hogan, Harmes and Pedersen all visible in the rooms on MelbourneFC instagram video

    Pedersen likely just warming up as the 23rd man.

    If Hogan and Harmes are there, the only other one under an injury cloud was Oliver, and no way Pedders replaces him. 


    No late changes, according to the AFL.

    • 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.
