Must admit had a huge smile on my dial when betts missed that goal from 10m out. 

Also breathed a sigh of relief too.

    Well done to JKH tonight I've been one doubting his ability at AFL level.

    Was good tonight with decision making and pressure 

    He's 2 from 2 at AO now if I believe. Maybe 3 from 3 if he played Port there in 2016. He seems to like playing there. he's game there in 2014 was memorable.

    Well...the wife had an early start this morning...an early night last night.. resulting in the telly going off half way through the third. What a pivotal moment .

    I really hadn't liked our chances going in to this but what a brilliant surprise awaited when checking scores before.

    Still worries me ..so much fumbling. Reading some posts it looks like it might not have gone our way had they been a bit more accurate ...but we got the choccies...and in peasoupsville no less. I hope that poster's old man had a big smile as he walked home past all those crow's nests ;) to those that made a late decision to go...well lucky you :)

    Well am off to watch what I missed.

    Go Dees

    In another post I mentioned that he led training all week around a single minded focus on beating the West Lakes' boys

    I believe he'll be okay

    I thought we were ordinary. In particular, the number of sloppy missed tackles was huge, and we got by on the back of one ripper quarter.

    In saying that, it made the win even sweeter. After dominating games against the likes of Port and Geelong, and getting nothing, it was great to grind out a win against a decent side in enemy territory.

    I thought it touching that at 13 points up with 13 seconds to go our leaders made a point of getting extras back in defence.

    And the naysayers said we never learn.

    Well I was surprised really thought we would lose that.

    very very happy to be wrong.

    my night did end well but that is another story, hopefully Sunday is a better day.

    Go Dees

    Lets not forget that we were 20 points down in a hostile environment and STILL won. 

    Well done boys.

    Yes Ox, loved the slow grind of working back into the game by half time. Then full throttle with 10 to go in the third. What a lovely Sunday morning.

    dude, i still say that. we basically squandered a 5 goal lead in torrential rain. we were 1 coat of paint away from betts' goal going through and probably winning or drawing the game.  a big relief but certainly haven't learnt.

    Footy is funny last week we were all cracking the [censored] due to the last quarter fade out and this week we are all happy as fat kids in a lolly shop (although we were close to cracking it again).

    Footy is a funny thing.

    Crows won nearly ever stat. More disposals, tackles, frees, contested possessions, inside 50s and scoring shots.

    Only stat we thrashed them in was clearances.

    There's a lot of "sliding doors" in footy ;)

    As long as you mention the 11 shots we had in the third and that our backline, before the rain hit, completely nullified their much vaunted tall forwards.

    We were defending a big lead going into the last and were helped by a huge downpour. We couldn't stop them getting 10 shots on goal and nearly blew it again.

    great we won. Great you're happy.

    If youre not happy after a win like that why would you even follow the game? Surely you got some enjoyment out of it.

    I honestly can’t imagine watching footy in a manner where I couldn’t get enjoyment out of imperfect wins. I feel sorry for you.

    I’d give 1 to Milera 

    Yep especially when he coughed the ball up in our f50 which I think if my memory serves me correctly resulted in a goal for us.

    In fairness though... there's two aspects here. 

    Yep...great we won. Go Dees

    but I think Jnr is legit in reminding that it was not really emphatic. It could have been another loss at the line.

    A few things working in our favour...and yes that's life. I'll take that win...thanks footy gods..but Jesus we need to find better ways of shutting up shop when we're leading in the last.

    I'm pretty harsh on players as everyone knows but i like joel smith. sure, he lacks smarts at the moment but he will get there. he is the most athletic player on our list and i think him and frost will be fine. even though frost made me throw the remote against the wall and lose its batteries after his throw in the last few minutes. lol

    Ditto.  Thought it was all over

    Someone needs to make a montage of every time James Brayshaw said "Milera's been brilliant tonight"

    Every bloody time he went near 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.
