Love watching Sydney play. Every dumb thing my team does that has me pulling my hair out…Sydney don't do. It's nice to watch a smart team that gets back off the mark quickly, has a guy on the goal-line at all times to stop easy out-the-back goals, and actually delivers the ball inside 50 with some semblance of forethought and strategy.

    Giants are $2.35 against us next week 

    Don't worry, they'll be into $1.01 after West Coast [censored] us tomorrow by 50 points, despite us being +30 for inside 50s and +50 for clearances.

    Lots of people wrote Sydney off a few weeks back, they just have too much experience, class and are well coached and drilled, can never write the bastards off

    I can't stand them, especially after letting them of the hook last week.

    Adelaide wins tomorrow and Essendon wins Friday night next week and we'll be set in the 8 without winning a match.

    So we have that at least…

    Making the finals by default isn't much of an achievement, especially when you haven't beaten a single other team in the top 9.

    Does it sound like I think it's much of an achievement?

    Guys on the goal-line stopping knee-high scrubbed goals out of packs really do it for me even more than that. Fair to say I loved Jimmy Bartel play.

    If North makes the finals, we're 9th. And we will have beaten a team in the 8.
    If we makes the finals, North's 9th. And we will have not beaten a team in the 8.

    I know which I'd prefer.

    What chance of StKilda causing upset. Zilch.

    I think the better question is what chance of Hawthorn doing something (Melbourne-like) stupid and losing to them. 

    We’re the team that seems to make those monumentally stupid mistakes.

    It’s always good when the AFL put either the Saints or Carlton on prime time, won’t be surprised if after Fremantle’s effort today they get an extra three or four Friday or Saturday night games next year.

    • 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.
