 Lockhart and Wagners showing a bit which is al least something

Wagners not in system long enough to know what not to do maybe !! Still have a little footy smarts .

They aren't the answer though.

    This just seems like 2007 all over again. Such a disappointment after such a great season. What happened

    Yep, its tough at the moment..

    Ahh yes…Goody's paddock. Empty our backline so the forwards from the opposite can do whatever they want. Not quite Pagan's paddock but it's a gameplan I guess?

    How was that not holding the ball to petracca, then nibbler gets dragged down never taking possession

    Awwww TMac ankle..

    McDonald ankle. This would be a disaster if our season weren't already a disaster anyway. 1 disaster + 1 disaster = 1 disaster. So there's that.

    Definitely both frees unrewarded.

    We have the worst fullback/centre half back combo in the league history

    Fixed :)

    Oscar is a [censored] spud! Amazing how he has already played 60 AFL games...


    Does our backline have a clue?

    It’s funny you say that, I made a comment back in 2017 I think it was that Hunt showed an X factor that we were missing and that it was probably because he hadn’t had time to learn to conform to a plan rather just trusted his instinct. He’s lost that now it seems. Fritch seems to be the same, not a shadow of himself from last year. Will probs be the same with these young blokes.

     

    No other way to say it we just have too many substandard players on the park. Kk, wagners, frost, Omac.

    McDonald injury just will provide another excuse

    • 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.
