Got the feeling we are going to hand out an absolute hiding to the Hawks.    Anyone else feel it?

Not sure about a hiding, but I think the boys will get it done by around 20 points.

    This time last week, I was shifting bricks but strangely feel almost relaxed about this one (until they bounce the ball, that is).

    Do we know who the umpires are yet?

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we have unfortunately been assigned the bald headed maggot.

    Let's hope that his blatant bias against Melbourne can be put aside in a Semi-Final..

    Stevic and Rosebury are the other two.

    Don't know more, but reported by McClure on SEN.

    Every single news article is about us.  Hawks flying under the radar.  They didn't finish top 4 without reason.  I'm nervous about this build up.  The gloating Hawks supporters will be unbearable if we lose this.

    Yeah I am worried too.   Most times teams who finish top 4  win at least one final.   As much as I hate Hawthorn they are a proud club. Battle of our lives tomorrow night.   Cannot believe the odds. 50/50 I would have thought

    Stratton OMearra and Ceglar out.

    Shoey Duryea Mirra in....

    I actually think Stratton is a bigger loss for them. He controls their backline.

    But no Jaeger is a big plus for us.

    The boys need to know that wounded animals fight back hard and remember the weak Pies side that kept us out of the finals last year. They still need to bring their best game to win this.

    This is a game we should win even if O'Meara was playing.

    For me it's telling that none of their 3 "ins" would get a game in our 22.

    Means Harmes either shuts down Mitchell, but if Mitchell gets a hold of him, which is totally possible, we can swing him straight to Smith.

    Stratton and O'Meara out helps us a lot. Stratton is their backline general and a decent defender, his absence will help us a lot.

    I'm glad to see no change. Back in the players and structure that are winning!

  • Quote

    No change, BOOM! Let's get it done, boys.

    I already thought we'll come away with a win here, but the extra out for the Hawks helps to solidify that belief. We'll take this by 4 goals and storm into the prelim, where we'll give it to the Eagles, again.

    • 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.
