Can Max win a Brownlow to ease our pain?

Nah, Tom Mitchell the accumulator, with his 45 useless disposals a match will win it!

    Selecting a bloke because he is captain. Clearly u havent watched him in the finals.Given absolutely zero. Rawlings needed to make the tough call and leave him out today. Glaringly obvious.

    Wouldn't happen

    Worried about our depth now...not much from our listed players to be happy about in that match.  Garlett gone, Vince retiring, Bugg gone, White has no idea, Tim Smith not up to it, JKH showed a bit, but that's his level, pedo tries but he's not the future.  Hunt has regressed to the point that he isn't near AFL level.  We don't have much......

    What a joke of a telecast.

    No interviews or cup presentation shown

    Well that was devastating. We led all day until the 13 minute mark of the last term.

    We did not kick a goal in that final quarter, that will not win you a flag.

    What a crap 24 hrs

    This weekend has turned to shizen. Again the old mental weaknesses that melbourne have are at Casey. We played some dumb footy in second half and showed no poise at all.  Bugg, Garlett and JKH can all go and eff off.

    Culture of losing continues with our club ... number of senior players should quit or be moved on ...the weekend continues to be soured by port performance...

    I thought Josh Wagner stunk up the joint in the 2nd half too. Looks like a lame duck final contract year for him.

    Pittonet was the difference. Gave their mids an armchair ride round the clearances

    Well the Coach played a bloke who didn’t get one possession in the Prelim and guess what, he only managed one today. Worst part is he is the Captain. 

    We can say goodbye to Garlett, Bugg, Smith, McKenna, Pedo, Filipovic and King. Vince has retired and I hate to say it, as I thought he could be anything, but Hunt must be on really shaky ground. He was terrible. We need to bring quite a few new players to improve our list.

    That was a pretty awful coaching performance by Rawlings' and co.

    Pedersen had to ruck most of the last quarter. Without winning it at the source they would never get it to him forward. Using Smith in the ruck for so long was a disaster.

    Fritsch was being dragged deep in the backline. Why not move him on to a wing? He'd help get the ball moving.

    Lockhart wasn't very effective mid/forward, he would've given some drive at half back.

    JKH didn't get thrown in to the midfield despite looking like the cleanest mid to get his hands on it. Munro, Bugg both can tackle and crack in but they could never get a clean possession.

    Not surprisingly Jeff was hopeless but where was the use of him off the back of the square to get him in the game?

    It was yet another victory for Clarko footy over the rubbish we like to play and can't seem to drag ourselves out of.

    Yep you saw it the way I did too, we need to find some depth to progress with the gains of this year, quickly....

    Vince. Retired on time

    Hunt.  At the crossroads

    Keilty. Promote to AFL-list

    Tsmith. Vfl level only

    Wagner. Vfl level only

    Bugg. Not good enough

    Fritsch. See huge potential

    Pedersen. Call it time 

    Gartlett. Totally lost interest. 

    Jkh. No more please

    Petty. Still just developing 

    mckenna. We will delist

    For those watching on TV how did Keilty look?

    Dominant. He and Petty looked fantastic together and in the second half probably a little less so. I’d want him signed up by the end of the week. 

    Dont know why the hatred for Hunt here. He broke lines, he put his head over the ball and created contests. He also hit tagets which has been one of his big problems. 

    Also Box Hill tightened up on JKH after a rampant first quarter. Didn’t give him any space so not surprising he wasn’t as influential. 

    Garlett was poor, Bugg tried but he’s not the same anymore. McKenna seems some.

    Keilty. Promote to AFL- agreed  

    Tsmith. Vfl level only - good back up 

    Wagner. Vfl level only - back up 

    Bugg. Not good enough - yep

    Fritsch. See huge potential - scary isn’t it 

    Pedersen. Call it time - we cannot only have 18 year olds playing, Someone goes down we need him

    Gartlett. Totally lost interest. - hoping he resets in the offseason 

    Jkh. No more please - if we don’t keep him, he will play afl somewhere else 

    Petty. Still just developing - lot to like 

    mckenna. We will delist - that is true

    You know things are going badly when your Captain plays a whole GF and has more boundary side interviews than possessions. Add to that Garletts CGAF performance and they played 2 short....at least...

    • 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.
