Tuggers celebrating goals like they matter. 

 
 

No surprise to see the Tigers get on top here.  If you're watching it carefully, the mistakes are coming from the depth players who are being given a run today.  It also means that our work from the kick outs, and even the run from defence, isn't working how we'd like.  

That's what JLT is for, though.

    I want Salem to be a midfielder - but he just isn't. He is far more effective down back.

    Yep agree King. He's just not quick enough instinct/reaction-wise. Nothing wrong with being a good disposer coming off HB though.

    I’d seriously play Petty or Frost over OMac. He’s getting outrun by Nankervis for god sake.

    Petty has been one positive in our backline so far today.  Has already taken three good grabs and has used it quite well.  Positive signs for him.

    13 scoring shots to 10... hm....

    He's slow in the head and slow in general play. He reminds me so much like Garland in their seemingly lackadaisical approach.

    spargo... 65% gametime for 1 possession

    He’s been rubbish. He was poor last match too. He doesn’t get involved a lot, so he needs to make the most of his opportunities and currently isn’t. Jeffy however has been good the past few marches and should be in the team round 1 on form.

    Pruess has been a big disappointment today. Someone his size getting tackled and pinged by small rejects like Mac Weller is an embarrassment. He’d wanna turn his form around or he won’t be playing much senior footy this year. Very uncompetitive today.

    Stands out when our defence is butchering the delivery

    • 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.
