Has anyone else noticed how well this game has been umpired? Just about the perfectly umpired game of AFL footy. Please let them umpire this way tomorrow so we can fairly and squarely work out who deserves the big dance.

Ahem. Nicholls.

    This is my exact thoughts. Imagine Eddie celebrating with his two little tweebs as we lose in a granny. God no, just no.

    Yeah, and my neighbour is mad Collingwood, if they won I'd have to belt him and I don't really want to, seems like a nice bloke.

    Richmond are being pathetic. Stuff em. It is hard to watch as I hate the filth..Maybe if we win tmrw it is a godsend. To beat the filth in a granny would be wonderful.

    C'wood are doing to R'mond what they did to Melbourne on QB ........ only doing it better!  God I hate the prospect of that mob being in the Grand Final ....... but I guess if we make it, beating them will taste even sweeter.

    Hopefully played there GF tonight, can't play any better than this.

    Richmond look so slow and lethargic, only played once in a month hopefully the same with the Weagles.

    So Collingwood vs Melbourne grand final next week!

    Ugh the mere idea of losing to Collingwood in a Grand Final makes me physically ill. 

    Worse, they will absolutely belt the Eagles at the G. They are beyond overrated and can't play the G.

    Geez, Collingwood have hit their peak at the right time this year. Going to be near impossible to beat.

    Honestly didn't rate them at the start of the season but their team is terrifying when clicking.

    Richmond...being shown up...they are limited in style. Collingwood exampliflying it.

    We CAN beat this Collingwood.

    The flag is ours...if we really REALLY want it ;)

    Why are there empty seats next to the MCC if its a sell out?? Never got that..

    Not all seats in the MCC are reserved, those ones empty are the walk up on game day seats. As an MCC member myself it’s a bloody weird old school system and a night like tonight shows it’s not the best, there should be no empty seats tonight.

    According to Bruce, Howe has been phenomenal. 8 touches (2 marks). Bruce is done. 

    And is he saying that that absolute champion Prancer having a typical amazing game?

    He went straight forward after the opening bounce. As Collingwood got on top he didn't get moved back into the middle.

    It's funny how Richmond look so different when their stars are down. They haven't had to deal with those players being out of the side or even out of form.

    Pull the other one, they've beaten pretty much everyone all year and they haven't lost at the G for 18 months.

    Twas judging by their performance tonite Uranus.

    unfortunately though Billy Slater gave away a goal line penalty for a beautifully executed hip and shoulder. loved it. Ref didn't - called it a shoulder charge. if he gets charged by the NRL minimum penalty is a week. might be his last game and no fairytale GF for him

    I saw that. For all the NRL talks about how tough they are, that was a fair bump in footy. And the guy jumped straight back up!

    Brodie Grundy is also tearing Nankervis to pieces.

    Richmond's lack of talls (no key defender to go with Cox, no tall for the bail out mark down the line, no second ruckman) is a massive problem.

    I suppose Lynch helps with that next year.

    Rance is so overrated.

    • 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.
