a lot of positives so far tonight, playing well as a team. poor disposals are still there but not as many and not hurting us as badly as past weeks.  we certainly in with a chance regardless of the umpires.

 

Petty looks a player. Hasn't done much but a good intercept Mark and a few spoils nice size looks composed..

    We went in undercooked this year but I wasn’t expecting it to include the coaching staff.

    They’ve evolved.

    Lacking the polish that would have us almost home

    But loving the aggressive movement through the middle

    This is what I don’t understand, how isn’t this addressed, Carey, BT, Dunstall have all spotted the issue, yet he’s shanking them left and right every week.

     

    Trac needs to chat to a specialist goal kicking coach, clearly Melbourne don’t have one.....

    No he needs to see a psychologist. This is purely mental. He is terrified of missing and you can see it clearly in his face.

    Ok we are still in front, they are potentially 2 down. We need to take advantage of that. I like our run and play on but sometimes I feel we are doing one to many handballs where we should just be getting it long. 

    I like how Baker went in to stand up for harmes in that quarter. 

    If we can get 2 or 3 goals from Trac and Tommy finds his 1st quarter form we can hold on. 

    Maxy is rucking brilliantly. 

    Come on dees we can do this.

    Needs to talk to Russell Robertson. I remember he went through a similar faze earlier on in his career, fixed it up and become one of our most accurate kicks for goal.

    We lost our energy after that small break in play. Hopefully we can capitalise this qtr

    100%

    from memory he lowered his ball drop, learned to take a big breath before beginning his approach, and relax then kick through it

    Couldn’t hurt as he is putrid at the moment. Makes Casboult look like a dead eye.

    Trac is a good long kick. 

    But his kicking for goal whether from a mark or snapping or on the run is horrible. He needs help

    Incidentally, Elliot Yeo is up to ten tackles at half time.  Say what you will about his ducking cheating rubbish wehn he has the ball, he's putting in the effort. 

    I hope one day he ducks and someone actually really hurts him. Cheat!

    I love the way we are playing this game. I like the games of Baker, Petty and also T. Smith.


    Come on Melbourne 

    Wc booing is just incessant. 

    So hope we win.


    Stretch's kicking inside 50 ....blah !!!   TRAC THAT IS [censored] RUBBISH!!!!

    I don’t think we’ll win this but this has been reassuring. May Lever Jetta melk Hannan and we’re back

    OTOH please can we get pe-trarckarh’s kicking sorted

    How come no free kick for Maxy?

    Because he isn't wearing a black and white jumper... (interference...Grundy!!)

    Would love a straight drop punt......yes!!!! Jeffy alleluia alleluia

    • 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.
