    In all seriousness, he had about as much interest in the game tonight as Tom Mac did yesterday.  He'll find it tougher to kick goals for Freo under Wossy, but I'll save my sniggers for when the real stuff starts.

    Down the track he will realise the mistake he made in leaving the Dees and I do not now care one little bit. He is well gone and time to leave it be.

    It was good to see Andy Brayshaw back out there and getting into the thick of it. 

    Through himself to smother a kick which could have easily hit him in the jaw.  Didn't blink.  Fearless like our Gus (and I suspect other brothers).

    Honestly, i dont think he will at all. Footy is like a social outing to him. Hes back home to his mates,  earning big bucks, and going to festivals every weekend.

    Freo could lose every game this year and i dont think he would care in the world.

    Just great. The AFL screws us again and makes us play the 2018 Ladder leader after 22 rounds in week 1 and the 2019 JLT ladder leader in week 2.

    100% true.

    It is a bit early 'spurs' and of course it's only practice match footy but yeah, it is really boring stuff to watch.

    There has been zero pressure in these games so I guess we have to wait for the season proper.

    So far it's about as interesting as last years AFLX footy.

    ...and just maybe it comes back to that old saying "be careful what you ask for".

    Someone had to say it, but at the moment the emperor has no clothes.

    I only watched our game rjay but I felt that we saw a different balance between the in-close footy and open footy. 

    There was plenty of pressure on players disposing of the ball - especially on Angus who,  to be fair,  did have 37 disposals.  So from an overall perspective,  if that's the sort of footy we get to see,  I'm on board.  

    You don't want too much one way or the other (congestion/open footy) so I hope we get to see a good balance in the neutral games.  Our game looked like it was easier to officiate too.  We saw the 'longer' bomb from the kick in and that was interesting - cleared the press a few times thus opening the game up.

    But it's early doors ... we won't be able to make a judgement call on the rule changes until about a third of the way into the season.  My ideal game would see about 32 goals being scored in a match - and both us and the Tiges scored 16 goals each on Sunday.

    • 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.
