Dropped some easy marks but I'll concede the rust factor. 

$50 he has more 5 goal games than any MFC player this year?

    Either way, the two power forwards weren’t that bad for their first hit out. It surprises me how Jack and Houlli never seem to age. Hope our boys have that type of sustained careers.

    Tigers will find it very hard to cover Rance for the season.

    Good result for us.

    Terrible luck for Rance, and Richmond will have to juggle their backline - we managed it with Lever out, I’m sure they’ll find a way too

    It’s almost like the Tiggas went to sleep for two quarters

    Carlton’s skills are pretty ordinary but if they can use the corridor they move it quickly enough to hurt some teams...hopefully not us!

    I never wish an injury on anyone. And I mean never. Michael Long or Dipper after the brutal devastation they inflicted on our players I will boo and hate but wish them good health.

    The interesting thing with Rance tonight is MELBOURNE are in a red hot premiership window and Richmond is a main contender. Richmond without Rance are not the same threat.

    Wish him well but make no mistake it is in the MFC interest it is an acl.

    Interesting game for clubs to analyse 

    Carlscum were so awful in the 1st Quarter that i think the Tiges just lost their edge for an hour

    Agree with this. He is a genuine quality forward who will most likely have better quality supply than Tommy or Weid.

    Mark him down for 55+ i reckon

    As you say ....analysis is the key

    Martin was okay but he was tackled and his impact was limited

    Yep. The MFC need to watch every game closely

    We need to beat top sides

    Houlli, really like him as a player, this past week would have been a very hard one.

    Agreed. He’s such a consistent player, highly underrated IMO.

    Rance organises them so well. I reckon he prevents at least 2 goals a game. They're not the same team without him. Their premiership challenge is in massive trouble. Their defence is ordinary without Rance.

    We managed without Lever after Lever played about 6 games for us and we wern’t Coming off a premiership where Lever was integral.

    Richmond are [censored] without Rance.

    I’ve been looking at that as well GWS @ $18 worth taking and Dees. Don’t back us early though. We are too injured and will start slowly.

    Is it me or did Dustin Martin look really really average tonight. Looked slow and was caught several times which is unlike Martin.

    Yes indeed W45, will pay to back us after a loss or two for sure. I do like Gus at 26 for Charlie tho. He didnt even start till round 6 or 7 last year and came 3rd. Surely thats overs.....

    Totally agree with others here, Martin slow, getting caught, and will start getting angry. 

    Why is Riewoldt the only player in the AFL allowed to put both hands on the back/shoulders of his opponent and take the mark?

    ........as well as interview himself and make the whole general public wait until he's finished interviewing himself and jog over ready to be carried off for 250 g's....give us a break FOX.

    Maybe Richmond’s luck over the last 2 years on the injury front is coming to an end, if they lost Martin aswell they would be in serious trouble

    That stupid rule has been thrown out.

    As long as it's not a push

    Its never good to see a player be seriously injured.  But there is a bit of karma in Rance's knee injury. 

    How many players have his knees seriously damaged?  Rance often goes for a mark leading with his knee into a players head or back even when he has no chance of marking.  He broke Tim Smith's ribs a couple of years ago.  Smith didn't play again for a while.   

    As they say 'live by the sword, die by the sword'.

    Richmond have been lucky with injuries.  This will test them.

    • 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.
