Viney has played only 68% game time.  I expect him to play a bit more in this last term.

We've got it all to do, but we can do it.  I'm backing us in.

    Hunt looking like the player of old.

    Great signs

    The 6.6.6. rule should help jHunt,  and maybe Frost...  and should suit stretch.

    Why we think we can play weid in the ruck and Petracca on the ball is beyond me.

    As I said before the game, if we win we win ugly.

    no consistency.... 3 goals in three minutes and two behinds for the rest of the quarter.

    Simply no midfield pressure


    We have just not been good enough.

    Cannot wait for May to displace Frost from the backline.

    I think we've got this, but it's going to be ugly.

    I reckon we'll kick a few quick ones to start though...

    disappointing effort that quarter. so many players not in the game at all. need to life big time to win this against a pretty ordinary team in port.


    Gee looking at our huddle the number of players sitting down haunching over. 

    We need a massive final quarter from everyone. It feels like we are 4 goals behind but its only 8. Come on Melbourne scrap it out

     


    Won’t make finals playing like this never mind flags. Concede the four points today and look at switching things around. Stupid move bringing in Preuss if he wasn’t going to be played, bad mistake from coaching panel

    How many times will TMac and Weidemam get caught jumping at the same ball? Infuriating. 

    Viney calling for it from Salem, then turning it over to give them a goal, was appalling leadership IMO. 

    Geez led like to know the individual tackle count. Not enough Grunt.

    Back to the bruise free stuff.

    Bit better that quarter I suppose but we’ll down. Their kick ins isolate seem precise and to plan and we have a number of midgets unable to match them in the air.


    Cameron Mooney’s comments about the Port 3 qtr time comment interesting.  “Melbournes forwards don’t defend well”  Enough said,

    From the AFL website:

    Superior ball use allowed Port Adelaide to continue to dominate on the outside in the third term. The Power recorded 11 more effective kicks and 25 more uncontested possessions.

    We look absolutely knackered. It's like Port is playing in different conditions. I know some of our boys are a little underdone with game time, but it's not a great look.

    Gotta suck in the big ones this QTR and do what a top 4 team would do/needs to do - take our 4 points.

     

    Leaders really need to stand up this qtr.

     

    Cmon Dees.

    • 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.
