    Not that it would have made a difference but why would the Hawks go in with two ruckmen on a night BOM predicted rain?

    Because Clarkson is a coaching genius and cant be questioned.

    I have to say it.  This is frightening.  Richmond are looking awesome. 

    Also, if we win tomorrow we get the Hawks on the rebound.  They've torn us apart every time we played them.  It may seem odd, but they are the team I least wanted to run into as we seem to have no answers to their game.

    Richmond into 1.90 for the flag, we are now 11.

    Interesting Mitchell up to 37 possessions but if Richmond kicked straighter it would have been a 60point thrashing. What was his impact tonight? Zilch really.

    Mitchell may get a million disposals, but not many are damaging.

    I would take Clarrie's half million over his any day.

    Scary thing is Riewoldt didn't kick a goal tonight.

    The hawks youngsters crumbled tonight. The tigs just applied the heat. Also if we do get through im fairly confident gawn could do the job on McEvoy. 

    Interesting to see Goodwin and McCartney there tonight. I guess they are doing there homework just in case we have to play hawthorn next week.

    Neither Bruest nor Gunstan looked like 2018 All Australians tonight...

    Geez if we got past Geelong and the Hawks dished out that game again then they would be out in straight sets.

    If we get over geelong tmrw then we can put the hawks to the sword. Them and the filth are the worst top 4 teams I have ever seen.

    How many times have we said that?  We come in with all the momentum, the Hawks playing like rubbish, and they take a scalpel to us and win by 50 points.  It's not a matter of them being rubbish or us playing well.  Their game style takes us apart every single time.  We just don't have any answers to their precision kicking game.

    Yep, agreed. Let's not forget the only team in the top 8 Collingwood beat all season was us. Their buttery soft fixture gifted them a place in the top 4.

    Hawks looked absolutely rubbish tonight, but Richmond have that ability to make most teams look rubbish at the G. They are scary good and won't have any issues making the GF regardless of who they play in the PF (one of West Coast, Collingwood, Sydney or GWS I think).

    Regardless, we still have to win tomorrow and beating Geelong has not exactly been our speciality over the last decade. Going to take a huge effort from the players to overcome a team so brimming with finals experience.

    Haven't had to date: but now we know what needs to be done.

    Yes have to agree I am sick of seeing us smashed by the Dorks, what one win in the past 20 games. Mostly we haven’t been good enough but think back to the early 2000’s when they were near bottom and we were near the top and we would contrive somehow to get clobbered. Was it 2004 first round v Hawks and we just didn’t show up to play, get smashed then proceed to win the next 10 in a row. We have some mental block when it comes to them I am afraid.

    Put away your glasses, Richmond for the flag, only question now is who makes the GF. Scary good, and the buy-in from the players is a thing to behold.

    Need to get past Geelong before we start talking about the Hawks.

    Im feeling more confident about MFC chances tomorrow after watching this game.  In the first half especially it was so tight and contested. No goals out over the back.  We are the No. 1 contested team so we should back ourselves in to step up in finals

    Their precision kicking falls apart quickly under pressure. Richmond showed that tonight. Mitchell may get 40+, but if they are under pressure he is  very average and prone to turning them over. Plus they'll be without Stratton.

    But we need to win vs Geelong first. Nothing else matters at this point.

    • 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.
