    I don’t have the energy to pick 6 but I would have Frost in if I did.

    Anyone who can find 6 good players probably were lucky enough to find an unguarded  case of beer by the 10 min mark!

    But to put up 6 names I'll go with:

    Frost

    Pruess 

    Brayshaw

    Jones

    Jetta

    Melskam

    But this is really about who did something good rather than who played well

    6. Gus - Our best mid by a mile today

    5. Frosty - Our best back by a mile today

    4. Salem - Continues his good form.

    3. Viney - Fought like hell while being held without the ball, roughed up and generally scragged at every opportunity.

    2. Oliver - Got a lot of the ball.  Tackled hard.  Set up that opening goal with a pass that was pure [censored]. 

    1. Preuss - He's doing what we need him to do, providing a tall target forward and rucking a bit.  Even put in a few nice tackles.

    Put myself through the replay last night to check if my eyes weren't deceiving me and came up with following.

    6 Salem - Our only defender who regularly laid a tackle.

    5 Brayshaw - our only midfielder with the confidence to go forward - unlike Clayton who looks as if he is in fear of being tackled and flicks it off sideways/backwards nearly every time.

    4 Frost - The critics won't like it but there were no major howlers and he worked really hard on Bruce (two marks).

    3 Petracca - Yes he made mistakes, but he was our only lively forward all day and the only one who looked dangerous even if he ballsed it up on occasions.

    2 Hore - Plenty of intercepts and in general safe with his kicking.

    1 Viney - Huge first half trying to lift the guys.

    Preuss had some memorable moments early but faded again and big Max spanked Marshall, but the stat that worries me was just 11 pressure points.

    5 Brayshaw - our only midfielder with the confidence to go forward - unlike Clayton who looks as if he is in fear of being tackled and flicks it off sideways/backwards nearly every time.

    4 Frost - The critics won't like it but there were no major howlers and he worked really hard on Bruce (two marks). - - -  has some speed, - has a go

    3 Petracca - Yes he made mistakes, but he was our only lively forward all day and the only one who looked dangerous even if he ballsed it up on occasions. - only player who has had some Acid applied to him over Pre - season

    2 Hore - Plenty of intercepts and in general safe with his kicking. - a player worth watching, to see how he goes

    1 Viney - Huge first half trying to lift the guys. - playing under duress

    Preuss had some memorable moments early but faded again and big Max spanked Marshall, but the stat that worries me was just 11 pressure points. - gives some hope... but needs to do a lot of 2019 in-season, away from club distance running... to work his engine overtime.  He needs to be  MUCH  fitter for 2020.

     

     slow is out Now with 666.  unless they have special skills.

    Tom Mc and the Weid  zero points after 5 games, yet  huge no of inside 50’s in a number of our games. Don’t get how they couldn’t have 1 point with nearly a quarter of the season gone. Something fishy going on. TMac injured? Weid already got at?

    Mention to Fritsch. In a backline that is almost always on red alert he uses it every single time.

    • 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.
