    Brayshaw gets a load of football... but how many rushed, pointless bomb-around-the-body kicks has he done tonight that have been to no advantage or straight turnovers. 

    Im getting sick of seeing it... I understand the hundred handballs are tough with Tiger pressure but what about wide spread instead of 0.5m handballs to stationary teammates...

    The fumbles tonight as well. FMD, what happened to “getting back to the basics.”  Watched the half time drill of picking it up off the deck, translated to nothing during game time.

    Goodwin needs to go for the win here.

    Put Mcdonald forward.

    Here's a stat...first four goals from 8 inside 50's. We have scored one goal from the next 23.

    No one at CHF or higher to take the relief contested mark!!   Playing Weid is like playing a man down.  T-mac experiment over until he gets some resemblence of his 2018 form back.  Running at about 40% of that output/quality right now.

    Time to bring Keilty in


    The tigers have been garbage, but at least they kick goals more than once in a million forward 50 entries. We're lucky that we are not 100 points down, we would be against a side playing well. TMac is so horribly out of form, he can't take a trick anywhere on the ground. That moment where he tried to run off his opponent was hard to watch. 

     it is winnable but given the poor way we have been playing it would really take some effort to get up from here. just no one up forward standing up, the tigers are tearing us apart from defence and our players cannot take a mark cannot chase and cannot tackle. I think weidermans kick to jones sums up our night. even when there is no pressure our players cannot do it right.

    Stretch has been really good.  13 touches, 7 of them contested, and he's generally made good decisions.  Hopefully, like others have mentioned, he gets a good run at it from here.

    ...and Viney burned him that Q...

    Cost us 2 goals the skipper.

    Needs to learn what team is...

    That bloke wearing number 31 should go and hide in the stands. Has none of Barassi's courage AT ALL. The softest player I have seen in many years. You can throw the Weid in that mix. I said earlier we need our best players playing at their best and the others putting in honest efforts.  Some are but boy are some just going through the motions.

    Time for these guys to stand up in last quarter. PLEASE.

    Fritz is playing like he doesn't want to have the ball in his hands. He hands it off straight away to whoever is near him. Doesn't matter if it's a Melbourne player under pressure or a Richmond player or the ground. He doesn't take ownership of the ball and look for the best option. What's going on with that?

    Send him forward


    Hogan got more touches and score in one game then May and Weiderman combined over the last 3 weeks.

    Put Weide deep...  bring jSmith up to the flank or wing...  to play between the Wing and the F50.

    We need to mark the ball around the middle to calm us down from overusing it.

    There is a serious lack of belief out there. We all know our players can hit a Target and can pick up the ball. We watched it for a season. 

    I can see the Tiggers blowing this out in the last.

    Shame as they dont deserve a percentage booster.

    Our boys have chased tail all night.

    With not much left in the legs, this could get very ugly in the last and the Toiges can smell blood.

    Basic skill errors and no brains has killed us all night.

    It is sad how quickly we have become a rabble drinking our own bathwater.?

    HOW MANY [censored] TIMES ARE WE GOING TO KICK IT TO A RICHMOND DEFENDER?!?!?!?!?!

    Embrace that anger WB, welcome to the dark side.

    To answer your question though, ah for [censored] sake!

    McDonald has to go forward this quarter... no point trying to reduce a loss

    McDonald can't catch the ball in defence what makes you think he can do it forward...

     

    fritter is better than what he is doing tonight ,confidence is shot like the rest of 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.
