Their D against our attack was always a tight contest. Their attack vs our D I felt they had a huge advantage. The only way I saw us winning this was midfield dominance. They have a lot of stars in there too, Parker, JPK, others... This game was always 50-50... Our inaccuracy is the key. 9 scoring shots to 15... we should be 3-4 goals up.

yes. they are winning in the midfield and kicking goals. there is a clear correlation between our dropping off in the middle and opposition team's getting a run on. we give so much space and good teams open that up. good teams also know how to counter that through leadership, which was non existent that quarter. it is the usual suspects spudding it up.

This has the hawthorn game all over it. huge third quarter.

Jones just jogged from half forward to half back in no mans land with no opponent as the ball shot passed him time and time again.

This sticks out to me to

they kicked 6.1 and found a concerning amount of space. if you're equating having more of the ball to them not tearing us apart you're delusional. That was a complete belting.

And we kicked 1.6. Had we gone 6.1 you would think it was pretty even

Can Goodwin coach under PRESSURE?

Gee wizz I thought you were overripe on the Gaff scenario. Goody can’t kick straight in front of goal for the players, he can’t get them to gut run back when needed, he can’t get them to find targets under zero pressure.

    Pederson has got to the right spots but has spilt the mark, or when he has won the ball takes to long to make a decision. Hibberd is going to be a big upgrade next week. Is hunt still carrying another injury? His pace has was a huge asset when defending with our zone to make a spoil. If the rain lets up i expect us to come back and be a tight finish. Getting and keeping momentum by finishing our work.

    Jones and Garlett, the great disappearing players. Modern day Houdinis, they are.

    Can't wait for the rain to start bucketing down and make it impossible for us to play our preferred game and score enough to win.


    We're really missing Melksham's disposal into our forward 50 and his ability to kick a clutch steadying goal. He better be right for next week regardless of what happens today.

    if we'd laid even one tackle in the first 10 minutrs of round 23 2017 we might have won. ifs and buts. reality is pretty clear though. we're choking.

    Been saying that since 5 minutes in. Classic case of a mature team that's aging, but still has plenty fo knowledge, and knows to beat a contested side you have to beat them at their game.

    Agree. Don’t deserve it. 

    Bollocks.

    If we make it, we deserve it.  No question about that.

    Why does Tim Watson hate us so much?

    I'be had to hold back the urge to vomit because of all the Sydney love numerous time since quarter time.

    Come on Demons kick straight and get the job done

     

    lol usual suspects again, 2 minutes in. we haven't played finals in 11 seasons.

    Swans have now kicked the last 7.........

    How very Melbourne.

    • 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.
