    Shows how important Melksham is to this side.

    Hibbered good, Hannan great,Weed 100% holds his spot, did some really good things.

    Hooray for finals!!!

    Only question is who comes in for Spargo?

    It might sound silly but I thought West Coast hitting the front as ‘early’ as they did was helpful. It refocused and galvanised us. So incredibly proud of all of the players. A fantastic effort over there. 

    Shout out to the recruiting staff. What did we give up for Hibberd & Melksham? Where were Tom McDonald,  Hannan, Harmes, Jetta and Fritsch drafted? 

    What a day. Let’s all get to the G next week and bring back a home final.

    Me too, we were looking to save our lead, I thought that would end in tears, we play better attacking and just prayed we could do it.

    Given the number of outs we had and that it was interstate against a top rated side, was that our best win for the year so far??  I realise WC had plenty out as well but....

    He wasted a lot of opportunities and he needs to actually go for marks instead of pushing his opponent under the ball, but he is far more dynamic and offers more than Hogan has in recent weeks.

    We got a good run from the Umpires I thought considering it was over there. 

    Yeah I thought the maggots were very 'accomodating' today, surprisingly.

    Still a few dodgy calls/non calls, but far few that I expected given what was at stake.

    We did really well to keep the crowd quiet for most of the game.

    Shout out to Harmes who has really stepped it up lately.

    Still can't believe the resurrection of Gus, it's beautiful. 

    So gutsy, CARN DEES.

    JKH would be the only alternative... not sure he adds alot more to justify the switch though.  Spargo showed patches of some solid play during the 3rd i thought and appears to be slowly learning a little more each week.  Not quick but work rate is up there also.

    i knew Melksham was a huge part of that Forward Line.

    Playing for a home final next weekend, huge stakes now

    Can we all make a pact not to ever be a bunch of flogs like the West Coast fans?

    Let's save our booing for when we are actually getting dusted up by the umps.

    Got caught out having to come on without being able to put it on. Order was restored after a minute of play

    Well done Dees..... flying back to Oz next week and will be coming to the MCG to watch the GWS game with my fellow Dees supporters.

    Let's go into this final series with momentum and belief.

    Go Dees

    Umpires good, coaches played no funny buggers and as much as I’m critical of the old guys, they stood up in the last 10mims and had too. Great club effort all round

    Yes we have to lose by 150 points and port to win by 100

    Actually the difference is 357 points - so the odds are incredibly long!

    They are the absolute worst.  They boo absolutely anything.

    Can't agree more, I haven't heard a bigger batch of whiners. We got some lucky ones, they got some lucky ones, I would say (for once) it was actually a very evenly umpired game. 

    They're never happy unless they've got 15 more free kicks than the traveling teams.

    If Freo beat the filth and Sydney and Hawthorn don't draw (so one of them stays on 14 wins), then our percentage would see us slide into 4th.

    • 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.
