    Looks like the Tigers are playing 'Injury-Free' football!

    Crows did the same in rnd 23 last year and went into GF with only 2 decent workouts in over a month.  And they played like it in the GF.

    The 'Injury-Free' attitude might come back and bite the Tigers.

    I didn't think Geelong would get close to our percentage.  I was wrong.

    Right now Geelong's percentage is 129.3 (ours 129.8) with a half to go.

    Does the AFL hire police for matches? They're even waiting outside the coaches box to escort the coaches to the ground!

    Didn't realise you could hire out a copper.

    yep brown paper bags always works

    Geelong are the only team in the AFL with an actual home ground advantage. 

    No wonder they make the finals every year.

    Geelong really don't have much to gain from boosting their %.  They can only end at 7th or 8th. 

    While there are many finals combos their most probable scenarios: 

    1) We win, they play us at the G. 

    2) We lose, they travel to Sydney to face GWS/Swans or play Hawks at the G.

    It looks like they are playing hard to avoid facing us in the 1st final :D

    Not sure about that - The G as Home ground certainly helps Tigers, Pies and Hawks.  Hopefully, next year it will become our fortress as well.

    That's true, thanks.

    It looks like no matter what we do their most likely scenarios have them travelling to Sydney to face GWS/Swans or play Hawks at the G. Is that right?

    So they are building % to avoid playing us whether we win or lose? :D

    I think its the hope that if we win we go to 5th and they get pushed down to 8th.

    • 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.
